It was her first visit to the country. Over the coming year-a lot of it spent in Tagores Shantiniketan-she would fall completely in love with the place she had, until then, known only through books.</p><p>The India she describes in her letters back home to her parents is young, like her, still finding its feet and learning to come to terms with the violence of Partition. But it is also a mature civilization that allows Vishnu to be depicted on the walls in a temple to Shiva; a culture of contradictions where extreme eroticism is tied to extreme chastity; and a land of the absurd where sociable station masters dont let train schedules stand in the way of hospitality. The country comes alive though her vivid prose-introspective and yet playful-and her excitement is on full display whether she is telling of the paradoxes of Indian life, the picturesque countryside, the peculiarities of Indian languages, or simply the mechanics of a temple ritual that she doesnt understand.</p><p>Those who have read and admired Wendy Doniger will be delighted to find much of her later work anticipated in these letters, and the few who havent will get to see, through her keen eyes and able pen, India as they have never seen it before.</p>...648745An American Girl in India459483https://www.gandhi.com.mx/an-american-girl-in-india/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1071620/b522cfb7-0544-4079-b97d-f03d7225ced9.jpg?v=638774235646970000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781438494180_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_<p>Twenty-two-year-old Wendy Doniger arrived in Calcutta in August 1963 on a scholarship to study Sanskrit and Bengali.
