‘Anyone who has tried to drag me away from India has always met with stout resistance.’
India has been Ruskin Bond’s home, muse and greatest love for over seven decades. In India, In My Heart, he brings together stories, essays and poems inspired by the hills of Landour, the mighty Ganga, bustling towns, quiet villages and the people who have filled his life with warmth and wonder.
Funny, nostalgic and deeply heartfelt, these pieces celebrate the beauty found in everyday moments, chance encounters and memorable journeys. Together, they form a love letter to a country that has inspired one of India’s most cherished storytellers. So pack your curiosity and journey with Ruskin Bond through the India he knows and loves best.
