India. An exotic land of characteristics and historical tales like no other. From an exposition on chili peppers to an introduction to comedic bridesmaids rituals, from tragic examples of socio-economic prejudices to ironic demonstrations of bureaucratic powers, and from personal reflections on kite flying to factual and clinical addresses on opium, Dr. Jas Singh shows India only as a son of the country can. Only in India--Stories Untold begins with the journey of a young Indian boy learning the differences between men and women, and harboring hopes of seeing movies and experiencing grand adventures in a historical fort. As we follow Singh from his childhood to his teenage years, then his college career, bits of political and war-time lessons, explanations of cultural expectations, and glimpses of life after the independence of British rule are interwoven in this all-encompassing exposure to a country that has been tested, redefined, left behind, missed, but never forgotten.
