A Modern Passage to India





A Modern Passage to India
Published: March 17, 1985






The article ''Taking a Risk: My Daughter's Passage to India'' (Opinion Page, Feb. 10) was touching and well-written and made interesting reading.
The writer, Pat Bard, should take a trip to see for herself the hoary traditions, customs and beliefs India offers.
There is more to India than her people or maybe a leader's death. It is the ambiance, the crowds, the human wealth, the smells and colors, the fatalistic, the inscrutable and the inevitable ''karma'' believers.
A brief letter like this can't do justice to a country. India is not merely a country in the defined sense, it's a way of life. It grows on you.
