Cool Britannia is alive and well today. British culture is at the top of its game - in fashion, popular music, art and entertainment, science and technology, new inventions, and the rediscovered skills and excellence in engineering that make it Germany's leading trading partner in Europe. As a family of nations, the British are inventive, reflective, good humored, funny, focused, and tenacious.

Story
Over 5,000 years, India has been home to a rich tapestry of peoples and cultures. Two of the world's great religions - Hinduism and Buddhism - have their origins in South Asia, and the lands east of the Indus River have long been a central hub for trade, migration, and cultural exchange. Today the subcontinent contains 20 percent of the world's population and is a thriving center for global business, making this region one of most significant economic powerhouses in the world.

Story
This book talks about the experiences of hunter and conservationist Jim Corbett, during his years in the United Provinces, or what is now known as Uttarakhand. Here we see a different side to Corbett, not as the intrepid hunter of big cats but a man who blends seamlessly with the mountain folk of Northern India. Join him in his adventures and feel the thrills of hunting; follow him into dense forests as he encounters a dreaded dacoit who has a heart of gold; and enjoy the tales of love, loyalty, and resilience of simple villagers.

India's huge population of 1.2 billion people is as varied and colorful as the spice markets of Old Delhi. Each region, caste, and community has its own culture, reflecting unique histories shaped by conquest, creativity, and religion. Steeped in ancient traditions, exceptionally fatalistic, and intensely passionate about their culture, the Indians are also ingenious, creative, and world leaders in cutting-edge science and technology. Show interest in their country, and it will be reciprocated with genuine warmth and friendship.

In this guide, I covered all four corners of this great country, but not every city in every state. Instead, I covered cities and states with the most popular and prominent tourist attractions. I hope you will find this audiobook valuable in more ways than one, as I not only discuss what to see in India, but how to get prepared, how to apply for a visa, what to expect, how to plan your trips from a financial point, what type of travel agencies you can trust, what modes of transportation are the best, important cultural aspects, what food choices are safe, and so much more.

Publisher's Summary
India is in transition. Since the publication of Culture Smart's first guide to India in 2003, the nation has been transformed from a developing third-world country into the world's fastest growing economy. This completely new and up-to-date volume by American author Becky Stephen is unrivalled. It highlights the many subtle and not so subtle changes that are taking place in Indian society; describes and explains those areas of life where traditional attitudes and practices continue to prevail; and offers original insights, practical tips, and vital human information to guide you through the pitfalls and delights of this complex, vibrant, and increasingly important country.

Almost a practical guide
Pretty amazed how close it was to accurate because I was expecting a weird stereotypical presentation.
A good place to start if you don’t know anything about travelling to a third world country. There will be contrasts around everywhere you go in India but it’s a good place to visit. The few things I tell my friends planning to visit India for the first time is be careful with your belongings, avoid drinking unboiled or tap water, and plan for the worst.
The most annoying thing is the way we tend to be super fascinated with white people and how much people tend to bother them for photos or put them on a pedestal in the working environment or objectify female tourists.

Worth a listen
If you could sum up India - Culture Smart! in three words, what would they be?
Worth a listen
What did you like best about this story?
As a non-fiction guidebook there is no story per se. Nevertheless, if you're like me and hate reading or prefer to multitask while absorbing information then the audio book format works really well and the information is relevant for anyone interested in travel to India.
What aspect of Peter Noble’s performance would you have changed?
Peter Noble was always clear and easy to understand though for the first chapter of this book I felt as though it was being read to me by Siri. I don't know if I just got used to it but by chapter 2 I no longer felt this way. One aspect of the narration that continued to amuse me through the final chapter was Peter's perfect diction, the emphasis on a word's final "t" in particular. It reminded me a little of Roger Waters' vocal style. The bottom line is that Peter was competent but his voice and style did nothing to add to the listening experience. Considering the subject matter that is probably all one can expect.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
As a non-fiction guidebook, there is no story to keep you engaged but most of the subject matter is interesting and relevant—particularly if you are planning a trip. Even the final chapter on business in India proved valuable in understanding the culture. Don't skip it just because you might not be going to India on business.
Any additional comments?
I re-started chapter 1 over and over. In fact, I thought I had made a mistake by selecting this book. The parade of facts, figures, dates and geographical references is much more suited to the written page. I will be listening to it a 4th (?) time while sitting in front of a map. That said, I'm glad I stuck with it. Once the subject matter transitioned from facts, dates and statistics to more conceptual topics the listening became easier and enjoyable.

Not Bad, but a bit stereotypical
Liked most of it. A bit preachy and misses the point on alcoholism and other social evils by pretending they don't exist in the culture. A little heavy on the security (I never was robbed in India but a number of times in Europe)

Excellent insight into culture and how to behave.
Loved it. Travelling to India is going to be an eye-opening and overwhelming set of experiences. This has set my expectations and hopefully I will avoid the common faux pas of the uninitiated traveller.
