India and China share a 3500-km border and have interacted with each other for over 2000 years. It is remarkable then that their people know so little of each other what they think how they live their language customs and philosophy.Or even their cuisine. Pallavi Aiyar was very much the average Indian in her knowledge of China when she set out for Beijing in 2002. Over the next five years she became a fascinated observer of a country undergoing relentless change. This book is an intimate look at a society evolving at double-digit pace. In the process Pallavi Aiyar breaks down many cliches and opens new gateways through the Great Wall of China.
