A fascinating range of encountersmental, physical and spiritualof Australians with India over the past century and a half Despite a shared history of British imperialism, and commonalities like the English language, a democratic polity and a craze for cricket, Australians and Indians know very little about each other. Of Sadhus and Spinners attempts to correct this with a range of stories that trace the chequered history of interactions between the two nations. From John Langs The Mohammedan Mother (1859) to Yasmine Gooneratnes Masterpiece (2002), the stories in this anthology bring to the fore a variety of literary responses to IndoAustralian encounters. There are stories here of Australian visitors to India and stories about and by Indiansimmigrants or temporary visitorsin Australia. Thoughtful, exploratory and often just wideeyed in its observation of strange new worlds, the anthology provides insights into an array of fascinating crosscultural encounters.
