Either Side of the Hyphen
Pulitzer-prize winning author Jumpha Lahiri talks about her bi-cultural upbringing as part of the "The New India" package that graces the cover of Newsweek this week, probably to coincide with Dubya trip to South Asia.
She says: "Like many immigrant offspring I felt intense pressure to be two things, loyal to the old world and fluent in the new, approved of on either side of the hyphen." It made me think of our little magazine!
Also, here's a great commentary by Sandip Roy about how India is in bed with Bush.
