Book Summary
Missions, Mantras, Migrants And Microchips: A History Of The Indo-Us Encounter, 1492 To The Present - Hardback traces the long, evolving relationship between India and the United States from colonial beginnings to the present day. This deeply researched history reveals how people, ideas, and goods moved across oceans to shape politics, culture, technology, and daily life. Geared toward history lovers, students, and curious readers seeking context for today’s Indo‑US ties, the book offers a thoughtful, engaging journey through centuries of exchange that matter to us all.
Written by veteran historian Leonard A. Gordon, the book takes a long view, weaving grand events with intimate portraits. It moves through shifts in trade, migration, and policy, while also spotlighting overlooked figures—Kumar Goshal, Ida Scudder, Charles Page Perin, John Bissell, and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi—alongside well-known modern icons who symbolize today’s Indo‑US relationship. From the era of the Raj to today’s global economy, the narrative also nods to cultural milestones—the rise of Indian restaurants, yoga studios, and high-profile Americans such as Priyanka Chopra, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, Kumail Nanjiani, Indra Nooyi, Mindy Kaling, and M. Night Shyamalan—revealing a tapestry of connections that continues to evolve, even in the face of blips like the Bhopal disaster.
In Missions, Mantras, Migrants And Microchips: A History Of The Indo-Us Encounter, 1492 To The Present - Hardback, readers finish with a nuanced view of the Indo-US encounter and a renewed appreciation for the many voices that shaped it. This book leaves you with a sense of how global ties influence everyday life, inviting reflection on culture, identity, and shared history that lasts beyond the last page.
