One Long Journey —
The extraordinary story of
Lohit Datta-Barua

The extraordinary story of Lohit Datta-Barua, born into poverty along the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra River in northeastern India. A terrible secret surrounded his birth, death stalked him, and caste-based taboos blocked his marriage.  He came to America with $8 and became a world-class engineer. As an inspiring contributor to social justice, Datta-Barua continues to touch people’s lives.

—The fascinating true story of an intriguing and astonishing life…. [and] of the different cultures and economies and value systems of several worlds.
