New Delhi: Sir Mark Tully or Tully Saheb to a generation of Indians has a moving offering to the country of his birth. India's Unending Journey is a tribute to India's pluralism. And not just a few words on how we are losing the plot.

"I distinctly didn't want to write an autobiography. What I did think to myself was if you're going to discuss these theories, you can't discuss them in a vacuum. You have to say how you've come to these ideas, the influences," says Tully.

India is in Tully's blood of course. And over the past four decades the former BBC correspondent has seen more than just a thing or two in this country. He has seen it change, and he has seen himself change as well.

“I've been in India nearly all the time since 1965, that's 42 years now. I am 70 now. You notice at that age how changes come over you but I have been influenced by India throughout obviously,” says Tully.

India's Unending Journey released in the capital on Monday evening is essentially a book about finding balance.

“It’s important to realise that as nations and people we do not have final answers that life will go on being questions,” says Tully.
