Summary: A waste of time
Comment: I was disappointed by this book. The author focusses almost exclusively on matters that probably never concerned more than a few Tamils and certainly aren't taken seriously today. Reading this book to learn about "Being a Person the Tamil Way" would be like studying the fine details of feng shui to learn about being a person the Chinese way. Putting it another way, imagine reading a whole chapter in a book about what we mean when we speak of "home". Do we mean our present house? Our parents' house? Our town, our region, our country? How would we define the boundaries of our "home"? Maybe this book makes sense to a particular type of academic or intellectual, but for anyone who merely wishes to read an ethnography about Tamil culture, this book would be a waste of time.
