It seems to me that everything Dalrymple touches turns to gold, in this case exponents of nine different religious traditions. Allowing them to tell their own stories, with only the lightest (and most lightly erudite) editorial touches, we are given a fascinating insight into the variety and strength of faith in present-day India. And the variety is truly amazing! Another book I can't recommend too highly!
