Summary

On December 26, 2004, giant tsunami waves destroyed communities around the Indian Ocean. This book takes us to the shores, in a reinterpretation of how culture developed and history was made at the height of the British Raj. It reconstructs how a region's culture, economy, politics and imagination are woven together in time and place.
