A River Sutra

A River Sutra

"A River Sutra" is a collection of stories written by Gita Mehta and published in 1993. The book's stories are connected by both a geographical reference (the Narmada River), and by the theme of diversity within Indian society, both present and past. Unlike some of Mehta's previous stories, the ones in "A River Sutra" feature only Indian characters.
