“80 mots de l’Inde est une invitation au voyage. Un appel à découvrir un pays trop souvent réduit à sa langue anglaise. Ici, chaque mot, sorti de son univers culturel, sociétal ou spirituel, se contemple comme un papillon que l’auteur grimé en entomologiste aurait épinglé.”
Alice Develey, Le Figaro

“A brisk and conversation-filled ride through India’s corporate offices, film studios, farms and slums. Kamdar is an engaging writer.”

“The history of the Gujarati diaspora is one of the great unwritten narratives of pre-modern globalization. This finely written, well-researched memoir is not just an important first step towards the telling of this story: It is also a very good read.
Amitav Ghosh, author of The Sea of Poppies and The Hungry Tide
