India is one of the richest and most diverse cultures in the world, one where mythology, religion, history, politics and even movies seamlessly run into each other. In this keynote speech, Suri talks about the challenge of capturing the essence of this complex and multilayered society through his trilogy of novels.
The Diverse Worlds We Inhabit
In this informative keynote speech, Suri talks about the different worlds he has inhabited (and continues to inhabit), and the sense of identity he derives from each of them: India and America, arts and science, writer and mathematician.
The Mathematics of Fiction
