The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) was the third most powerful navy in the world at the start of World War II, and came to dominate the Pacific in the early months of the war.

I 1947 bliver Indien et selvstændigt land, og rejsejournalisten Karl Eskelund tager kort tid efter dertil for at berette om nationens genetablering efter Det Britiske Imperium. Ti år efter besøger han Indien for anden gang, og han skriver denne bog om landets udvikling og situation. Hvert kapitel i bogen omhandler et emne eller en problematik, som Indien er konfronteret med i 1967: kastesystemet, overbefolkningen, religionernes betydning, kvinders vilkår, de hellige mænd, fattigdom og politiske spændinger.
