India - Culture Smart!: A Quick Guide to Customs and Ettiquette by Nicki Grihault Buy at: Amazon

I'm planning a trip to India and thought I should learn something about the place.

Fantastic book. First, it's short. Second, it's pitched at just the right level for me: a little about the geography and history, a little about "values and attitudes", a little about religions, but not so much as to be encyclopedic... just enough to get a flavour.
