India`s Westernized elite, cut off from local traditions, `want to write a full stop in a land where there are no full stops`. From that striking insight Sir Mark Tully has woven a superb series of `stories` that make up “ No Full Stops in India”, which explores Calcutta, from the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad (probably the biggest religious festival in the world) to the televising of a Hindu epic.
