Review
"A Various Universe is a wonderful granary of cultural and social exploration in the India of the late 18th and early 19th centuries...What Ketaki Kushari Dyson captures magnificently is the essential humanity of both the observer and observed...This work is a tribute to the liberal high culture which is humanity's only hope of redemption." - Asian Voice
