His book "Heaven on Wheels" is also very good. It relates to his first
visit to Britain in the mid-1980s. I found it interesting because it
compares his expereinces in India with his impressions of Britain (he
doesn't just comment on disability but writes about sexuality, politics
(he seems to admire Thatcher!!) and ethnicity). Well worth a read. It is
also very funny in places.
Unfortunately I'm in the office so I haven't got the reference details.#
