Stephen Huyler's journey into India began on his twentieth birthday, pedalling a bicycle rickshaw from the border. Over fifty-two years, for an average of four months a year, he has explored India's diverse village and other subcultures through his writing and photography, becoming a leading documentarian of India.
Transformed by India invites readers to join Huyler as he navigates this remarkable nation, highlighting individuals from the wide spectrum of life all around the country. Tying all the many stories together is an acknowledgement of the innate strength and creative capacity for improvement expressed everywhere in the subcontinent.
Huyler's friendliness and skills have opened doors, leading to shows of previously unrecorded material in major Indian and international museums and galleries.
His six earlier books and many publications are illuminated by the iridescent soul of India. Now he shares his life and thoughts with you.
