"The volume's contributors are scholars known and respected in their fields; their input to this volume is professional and scholarly. The individual chapters are informative and insightful. The main contribution of the book, though, is the cumulative impact of bringing so much information before the readers. The book takes up a very important and timely topic, the increasingly religiously and culturally significant presence of South Asians in the West." - Francis X. Clooney, S.J., author of Theology After Vedanta and Seeing Through Texts
