Re: TWO books recommended to read :>
armughal,
maximum city is about bombay. and it has become what it is as a metropolitan city.
the talk about partition and its impact on the later yrs is also listed.
in the other book, Acts of Faith,
what is discussed is a very good acccount of what organized faith means and how is recognized.
hope this brief synompsis is good.
best,
Dushwari
