In this satirical, provocative, and sometimes passionately sincere guide to being Whiter and more successful (and if not, to be authentic and true to oneself, and to understand), illustrated by quoting from the lives of the highly successful, such as Salman Rushdie, Barack Obama, Arundhati Roy, Ralph Ellison, Richard Wright, Aravind Adiga, and James Baldwin, the Secret Rules that nonwhite persons must obey to get along, and to get along famously, are revealed.This latest edition (May 2013) has just 14 commandments, and includes the passionate essay, "The White Tiger, Barack Obama, and The Revised Kama Sutra."
"Crasta succeeds in ways not unlike Sasha Baron Cohen's Borat character or Chris Rock race routines succeed, i.e., brilliantly."--Frank Feldman.
"Boldly goes where no Indian writer has gone before."--The Asian Age
