M.P. Prabhakaran’s book “What India and Virgin Mary Have in Common,” rich with geopolitical, historical, and cultural insights, is now available for purchase

Is it feasible to engage with people from various cultures right now, in the current world? The reality is that we are surrounded by people from various backgrounds and ideas in our own neighborhoods. Is it possible to disagree with one another while still demonstrating love and respect for one another? Are we here to take sides? How do we respond when our political, social, or lifestyle beliefs conflict with those of others? Do we choose people over sides?
Cancel culture is a powerful force that threatens to silence or “cancel” those who hold beliefs that are contrary to popular opinion. In recent years, it has become fashionable. Our environment is growing increasingly complex, making it impossible to distinguish between fact and opinion.
What sets Prabhakaran’s book, “What India and Virgin Mary Have in Common,” apart from other travelogues is how directly the author’s views apply to present political and secular activities. His visits to the majority of the countries were free of biases or preconceived notions.
“I travel, therefore I am”—my apologies for altering Descartes’ great notion. In the “Preface” to this book, M. P. Prabhakaran describes his love of travel in this way. If academic credentials are a measure of one’s learning experience, he claims to have a long list of them. They are, however, no match for what he has learned from his global travels, he says.
He shares what he has learned from the pages of this book with the readers. From Argentina to China, he gives an introduction to the geopolitical, historical, and cultural landscapes of many countries. He describes the visual splendor of some of the sites he visited and the personal experiences of some of the individuals he met in one piece of English prose.
During his interactions with them, he also displays the true image of India—the image of a country that, while being multi-religious, multi-ethnic, and multicultural, has maintained its unity as a single political entity and has grown into the world’s most vibrant democracy. “What India and Virgin Mary Have in Common” is a book that keeps you turning its pages.
