Gautier's mind was once enchanted & flexed by what he saw in India; then it got rigidly stuck to its biased & perverted bends; he has failed to recovr from his jaundice...and it seems no amount of medicinal truth can heal him... i once used to appreciate his seemingly genuine concerns, at least at times.. not any more, can I read stuff like this without having a good laugh... and feel pity for rediff & the like, who give him the space & respect, no matter what he writes... Yes, we Indians still have a sense of affinity towards & appreciation for the white skin... and for what the white man says & writes about us...but between Gautier & Sonia, I still prefer Sonia; she has a straighter, nobler, better agenda.
