Octavio Paz first came to India in 1951: after Mexico formally
established relations he was assigned to be under-secretary at the new
mission, though he only remained a relatively short time.Several of
the Nobel laureate''s books arose directly out of his Indian
experiences, notably The Monkey Grammarian as well as the poems
collected in A Tale of Two Gardens (see our review) Paz writes that In
Light of India is "an introduction to answer the questions that India
poses to everyone who visits it." Paz found in India a good mirror
for examining his own homeland: "The strangeness of India brought to
mind that other strangeness: my own country."
