Written By: Kieron Roberts I recently watched the 2019 Joker film. I was very pleased to have watched it as it is different to any other DC film.

A Strange Kind of Paradise: India through Foreign Eyes
Embarking on a new book about India must be daunting as so much has been written about this vast mosaic of a country; its teeming population; rich, vibrant history; and diversity of religions and culture.
