About this ebook
In the book ‘Doorchi Mati, Javalchi Nati’ (Distant Soil, Close Bonds), author Umesh Kadam has eloquently expressed the opportunity he gained to connect with people of Indian origin living abroad and those accustomed to a foreign lifestyle—an experience that transcends words. This narrative offers insight into how a long journey—which began with securing a Commonwealth Scholarship for the postgraduate program in International Law at the renowned London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)—evolved from mere acquaintances or connections made through others into a close, personal bond.
