This is an eye-opening account of the discrimination against and persecution of a group of people who originally came from northwest India. After reading this book, I have more questions than answers because this diverse group of people is hard to categorize and put into discrete boxes. I thought the bibliography and explanation by Charles River were excellent.
Â
I think we will learn much more about this interesting group of people now that we have genetic testing available for the common man. The fact that the actual homeland is now understood to be northwest India (instead of the previously thought homeland of Egypt), is important to note.Â
It is important for book publishers such as Charles River to offer the public important information, such as this book. People can only make significant responses to misbehavior by governments when we are aware of them.
