I have a pretty good knowledge of the Indian world by virtue of living on several different reservations and being exposed to several different cultures and languages.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am an Indian to the core.
As to my success here I cannot say much as yet: the Indians seem generally kind, and well-disposed towards me, and are mostly very attentive to my instructions, and seem willing to be taught further.
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
I often find myself unsatisfied with books 'about' Indians because they are written from the viewpoint of non-Indians.
I am always fascinated by India.
I'm very attracted to Indians.
I am a Hindu, brought up mostly in India.
The spiritual reality of the Indian world is very evident, very highly developed. I think it affects the life of every Indian person in one way or another.
I write on sacred stories, symbols and rituals of all cultures - European, American and Chinese - but my audiences, typically, like me to focus on India.
I grew up in a small town in India, but through books I knew the world.
