Die Vielfältigkeit Indiens ist quickly schon ein Klischee. Ein Land der Widersprüche, das changiert zwischen Kastenwesen und Demokratie, zwischen Götterglaube und High-Tech, blanker Armut und neuer Wirtschaftskraft mit glitzernden Shopping-Malls. Bernard Imhasly lebt seit Jahrzehnten in Indien und kann wie kaum ein Zweiter vom Subkontinent erzählen, etwa, indem er von der indischen »Hochzeitsindustrie« mit einem Jahresumsatz von circa forty Milliarden US-Dollar berichtet oder von der nicht zu unterschätzenden Rolle der indischen Mythologie in der aktuellen Politik.
Ein Länderporträt, das die großen Unterschiede Indiens berücksichtigt und alle gesellschaftlichen Bereiche behandelt.

Indien heißt: den Atem anhalten und niederknien vor solch überirdischer Schönheit wie dem Taj Mahal, fassungslos den Kopf schütteln angesichts des harten Nebeneinanders von Prunk und Elend, die Köstlichkeiten der Mogulküche in Garküchen oder im Maharaja-Stil genießen, aber auch auf den Spuren Buddhas und auf dem heiligsten aller Flüsse die Welt und die eigenen Befindlichkeiten in neuem Licht sehen und sich verlieren in den magischen Städten Rajasthans.
So viele Wunder, so unglaubliche Kontraste: Diese area berührt, fordert heraus, stößt ab und zieht an wie wohl keine zweite auf dieser Welt. Bernd Schiller, Indienreisender seit Jahrzehnten, nähert sich dem Land mit Respekt und immer noch auch mit ungläubigem Staunen.

A Índia é tudo aquilo que um turista vê. Mas também o seu oposto. Os contrastes estão a cada esquina. O país é espiritual e fabric; pacífico e violento; rico e pobre; antigo e moderno. Cultiva a democracia, mas mantém as castas. Criou o Kama Sutra, mas veta beijos nos filmes de Bollywood. Há indianos encantadores de cobra – ainda que a atividade seja proibida – e engenheiros de software program. É perigoso generalizar sobre um país com mais de um bilhão de pessoas, divididas em milhares de castas, com sete religiões e mais de 20 línguas oficiais. Então, como conhecer esse povo que fascina tanto o Ocidente? Partir de sua história é essencial, desde a primeira civilização, que surgiu naquelas terras há five mil anos, até a recente independência, incluindo a relação com os vizinhos China e Paquistão e a explosão tecnológica dos dias de hoje. A jornalista Florência Costa – que tem laços de família com a Índia, onde viveu por muitos anos – nos leva à cozinha indiana, com seus múltiplos temperos; às festas monumentais de casamentos arranjados; à espiritualidade e às religiões e até aos banheiros (raros).

Toen ik in 1991, tijdens een sabbatical, in Indonesië terecht kwam merkte ik dat ik me daar gelukkig kon voelen. Ik besloot zaken te gaan doen met Indonesië om steeds weer terug te kunnen gaan.

Gedurende 25 jaar gebruikte ik steeds een deel van mijn bedrijfswinst om meer dan 20 Indonesische kinderen naar college te laten gaan en werd zo familielid van veel van rooster en leerde chicken intiem kennen. Mijn verhalen gaan dan ook veel over chicken. Het dagelijkse en het unieke, het trieste en het lachwekkende. Over polygamie, toeristen, tatoeages en bordelen. Over of het zin heeft chicken te helpen of niet en waarom de 'oude cultuur' snel aan het verdwijnen is.
