Hi, Mr. Oliver , am a student from India. I just wanted to thank you for giving me an almost acceptable view of my changing country through your book ‘India Rising’. Sir, you have done a great work, and I appreciate your efforts. But I could not get something from the conclusion chapter, why were you in Sakyaguru Monastery for months as a teenager? Hope to hear from you soon.
Hi Akhila. I’m glad you enjoyed the book. I was there teaching English for a while. best, Oliver
