Since Vasco da Gama's so called "discovery of India" (1498) the formulation of identities in India has been inextricably linked to Western conceptualizations. Containing contributions by Indian and Western scholars side by side and covering the period from da Gama's arrival in India to the present day, this book attempts to explore the complicated processes of Indian identity formation from both an Indian and a Western perspective. Not only the history, language and literatures of India, but also more specific aspects of modern India are analyzed as markers of this process. Thus, this book includes studies of multiculturalism, secularism, Indian film, communalism and even the vastu shastra.

reviewed Avatars of Modernity: Vasco da Gama's Discovery and Indian Identities in Perspective on April 15, 2008 Avatars of Modernity
It was the trip of a lifetime, the kind that changes your life forever.
Claire Krulikowski went to India to attend the dedication ceremony of Shangri-La. This ashram (spiritual retreat) was being gifted to a non-Hindu woman, Jacqueline Snyder, so that she could further her aim of uniting all of the world's people into one voice to change the world into a better place. Krulikowski intended to write a book about this unique experience. However, once in India, the author quickly realized that the topic of her book was going to be much more personal.
Moonlight on the Ganga is much more than a travel memoir. This book unabashedly tells of the author's experiences while in India. However, in doing so it also intimately shares the author's path to personal and spiritual awareness. The reader can't help but wonder what they'd see if they only trusted their intuition and the magic of the universe.
