| Notes | Om Namho tells two interrelated stories. The first of these which is a love story of two young British citizens, Adam Desai and Ann Eagleton, who come to India for a research on social anthropology. The second related to an old family belonging to Krishnapur located in the northern parts of Karnataka. This family undergoes modernization because of English exposure during India's twentieth century social changes. [wikipedia] |
