Hereby this is the central theme of the book. He wasn't very fond of Indian culture and ritual. Nevertheless I would still recommend this book.

You won't regret even for a second once you start this masterpiece. You can trust Amazon on Original and never a pirated copy. She exposed me to myself in a way that I just never had before. Loved how the author describes every single thing in such an intricate manner.

He led his life the way he desired. The psychological aspects of the immigrants are traced well throughout the novel.
