*Being Different: An Indian Challenge to Western Universalism* by Rajiv Malhotra is a study in failures and possibilities of East–West dialogue. Authored by a person from non-academic background, it offers fresh insights on the dichotomies in cross-cultural contacts. Rajiv repositions and reverses the gaze, instead of being observed by the West, he becomes the observer.
