'India's tryst with globalisation'

More on the riots that surprised Bangalore this past weekend -- Today a local website, andhracafe.com, published an analysis piece with this paragraph which is practically a blurb for the book I've been working on:
The slang Bangalored depicts the American angst about outsourcing-linked job losses but no similar coinage exists to describe the tormented internal divisions of a city, which overnight became a hotspot during India's tryst with globalisation. Beneath the veneer of the sophisticated comforts of an urban space that has gone places lie the discomforts of inequality and petty politics.
Just put a blond American girl in the middle and you've got my book.
