India Through a Traveller's Eyes 

India through a traveller's Eyes is an extract from 'My Several Worlds' written by Pearl S Buck. Pearl S. Buck was an American by birth but was educated in China. India has been the part of the background of Pearl S. Buck's life. She heard the stories of India and Indians from her family doctor and his wife. She was very eager to see India. She has seen many countries in the world. But she is very impressed with Indians. Since was an earnest desire to know India and Indians is Pearl's heart. She came to know India and saw the Taj Mahal in the moonlight. She saw the Fatehpur Sikari and Delhi. But she could not understand India and Indians. She met the young intellectual in the cities and the poor peasants in the villages. By talking and listening the youth of the cities and the poor farmers of the country she understood Indians and then she said that India could not be understood by seeing its monument but it can be understood by talking and listening the young intellects in the cities and poor peasants in the villages. This is the proper way to know India. She says that the customs and rituals of India is very impressing. She feels that Indians are restless for their freedom. They plan to achieve their freedom from the slavery of the British rule.
