Karma Cola - Gita Mehta (1979)
This book opens up the darker sides of Indian religious sects and gurus. How the foreigners have found themselves getting trapped into it in the late 60s and early 70s. The book has highlighted the darker side only. Hence, one should not state that Indian religious practices are all immoral. Also, Spiritual tourists have gained much more knowledge of Indian religions rather than getting inclined towards the rituals. A lot more information is getting publicly available today than it was in getting to know about India. However, the darker sides still exist and one needs to be careful before deciding to be part of a belief system or cult.
