This is a strange book. Book that hooks you from 1st paragraph onwards. I read this when I was young. I could not understand the hidden message in it.
It is a concise book. If you have been a regular reader of Hindu literature – none of the writing is eye opening. The best thing about the book is how Thich Nhat Hanh can explain methods of meditation.

Written by a self-confessed Anglophile, Autobiography of An Unknown Indian is a witty and endearing account of Nirad C. Chaudhuri’s life.
