Being Different challenges several historical assumptions and basic perceptions that the West has cherished about itself and others. It is a book for  brave hearts that is bound to change how we reframe our gaze toward the West. This extraordinary contribution opens up new terrains of discourse and should be a pre-condition of any in-depth discussion on civilizational dialogues.
