Is it bad writing or simply the tone, does anyone else find it vulgar?  A leader, who was also a woman and a mother had to exist in the flesh as well.  Here’s an account of the lover:

“Physically and mentally she is more of a male than a female.  I would call her a manly woman….in the sex act she had all the artfulness of French women and Kerala Nair women combined.”

The widening class difference has become all too apparent in the West now.  Coming from a mostly taxonomical society strife with communalism, the free living in the US with an innate pride in labor was like a breath of fresh air!  However divisions in our societies, have once again been put to work: progressive v reactionary, open v closed, liberalism v fascism, rational v irrational. But as a polarized intellectual industry plays catch-up with fast-moving events that it completely failed to anticipate, it is hard to avoid the suspicion that our search for rational political explanations for the current disorder is doomed.

Nominated the “rape nation”, polarization has peaked in India with a total disregard for all that was held sacrosanct for all these years.  Subhash Bose is now declared a fascist, Mother Teresa, simply a “troubled individual in a museum of poverty” and Indira Gandhi, a hirsute woman with an ample appetite for sex.  The problem for these critics of Enlightened rationalism, as Robert Musil defined it, was not that we “have too much intellect and too little soul”, but that we have “too little intellect in matters of the soul”
