Book excerpt: "The Indian subcontinent has been a land of immigrants for thousands of years: waves of migration from Persia, Central Asia, Mongolia, the Middle East and Greece have helped create India's exceptionally diverse cultural mix. In the centuries before the British Raj, when the Mughals were the preeminent power in the subcontinent, a wide array of migrants known as "firangis" made India their home. In this book, Jonathan Gil Harris, a twenty-first-century firangi, tells their stories." --Publisher description.
