Meola's journeys took him from the Himalayas and monasteries in the North to the temples of Tamil Nadu in the South, from the color and pageantry of Rajasthan in the West to the tea plantations of Darjeeling in the East.

The photographs will be accompanied by dozens of essays, stories, and poems by contemporary and classical Indian writers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTable of Contents \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eINDIA: In Word \u0026amp; Image\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePhotographs by Eric Meola\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contents \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 19 Eric Meola\u003cbr\u003e My Private India\u003cbr\u003e 24 Bharati Mukherjee\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 29 Salman Rushdie\u003cbr\u003e Midnight's Children\u003cbr\u003e 34 I.
