This is definitely a very interesting book. I had not heard of some of these firangis, and Jonathan Harris does indeed do a good job of reconstructing the times in which the lived. Some of them did indeed seem to have served India well, but for some of them, I can't say the same.

That they could come in and contribute does indeed provide a good testament to India's more multicultural past, and it would be good for our current politicians to pay good heed to this.

I do like his method of interspersing the book with some sections on being Indian. This does put sections of the book into an interesting context.

I did learn a lot from this book, and I would recommend this to anyone who wishes to understand India's past a bit more fully.
