Dr. Teotonio De Souza in the foreword to the book writes:

“DISCOVERING DISCOVERY is a sort of travel journal. I am particularly happy with this attempt by an Indian author. Writing travel accounts has been a routine habit of the westerners…. History is the looser, and the euro-look remains without a parallel indo-look…”
