Finding Graham
The Dutta families across New Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kuwait, Virginia, and San Francisco have all grown up hearing the story of Ramesh Dutta, the shining light of the family who went for higher studies to the prestigious Royal College of Science in London in 1936. But after the Second World War started, he could not return. The search continued for seven decades until an inquisitive new member of the family began to uncover the mystery. It was never an easy task, as a matter of fact, “how will you find someone who doesn’t exist in your life?” This book will take you on a journey of revelations that will open layers of untold stories that are closely intertwined with each other. This is a tale about a family that lost someone and eventually found someone too! The thing about blood is that it somehow finds a vein to flow in.

Rather, he says, it involved the active agency and engagement of Indian authors as well, who interacted, argued, and responded to British authors over key religious issues such as image-worship, sati, tolerance, and conversion.
