		<title>Aruna&#8217;s Journeys: Authentic or Inaccurate?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was surprised to see, recently, a whole bunch of new reviews of my book Aruna&#8217;s Journeys on Amazon.com. It appears that these reviews are from young Indian-American readers. The reviews were mixed: one recent reviewer liked it because &#8220;in this book I felt as if India was important.
