Dieter Withoeck

Belgian expat Dieter Withoeck — over 14 years in India across three assignments, and married to host Sabiya Pathan Withoeck — returns to Rooted and Routed for a conversation about collective vs individualist societies, and the way the two of them have quietly swapped roles: he feels at home in India, she often doesn't.
