I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and wriic but it was many months before I settled down happily in this Himalayan community. I wasted a lot of time looking for the "typical"village. Yet no such thing exists. Conditions very too widely. Bui the villages I stayed in had much in common poverty, dirt,ignorance. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled, stispidous. Why had I come? I had put aside rny work as a political journalist because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else. But to understand how three-quarters of the world’s people live,and how their future might affect ours. I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life. In the end l chose a mountain village because I was a little cooler than those in the plains. I took the bus from town along a bumpy road. Then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river. After this I began the climb into the hills. Whenever I stopped to catch my breath, there was a magnificent view. After soveral hours,walk the village came into view.
