India Fever

This book takes you through a thought-provoking journey through the life and times of the quickly growing population of Indian expatriate professionals in Singapore. Through a mix of anecdotes, observation and insight, the reader is introduced to the thought process that drive this extremely mobile group; including a no-holds-barred examination of their relationship with the local population of Singapore. "Amrit Barman's book probes beyond the surface to examine what brings global Indians to Singapore, what holds them back here, how they relate to the rest of Singapore, and what their hopes and aspirations are. As a global Indian himself, the author draws on his own experiences in articulating the views of global Indians who have made Singapore home. This book weaves personal insights into larger issues of the Indian diasporic identity in a brisk and readable narrative that will educate even as it entertains." - Ms Indranee Rajah, Deputy Speaker and Member of Parliament, Singapore.
