My parents were born in India, I have been to India 3 times before. The information on religion and culture is pretty accurate. It was pretty good. A girl, Safia, called Raka, is taken away from her home to be married to a horrid man. She meets a servant boy, Lagan, and begins to tell him a story. Little does Lagan know that this story, about a boy who befriends a white tiger as he goes on a quest to save a princess, is very true. So you get to follow two stories. It's very interesting.
