Desigirl-All countries have their problems, such a shame to be in denial-that’s what stops progress. Your last line sounds bitter, sad.

“The White Tiger” is third world porn. It is one man’s take on India and the caste system, which is only practiced in the most remote rural areas. Like every developing country, India is straddled with problems but it is an emerging superpower (which means there is hope for upward mobility every single Indian).
Do “My Feudal Lord” and “The Pakistani Bride” accurately depict the life of women in Pakistan? If that is the case, the world will run out of tears for the women, the minorities and the moderates in Pakistan. So before you decide to overwhelm the Indians with your condescending pity, save it for your own people.

Aaarrgh! I really need to be more careful, don’t I, leaving my comments? Honestly, Onlooker, I was double whammied by the reading of Age of Kali at the same time. Together, the picture was just bleak.

Our book group read Half of a Yellow Sun after we read White Tiger, and it was a totally different take on serving, different and reassuring. Not only did the manservant not kill his employer, he risked his own life to look after “his” family. While it is about a desperate war, it has its uplifting moments – I loved the book, set in Biafra/Nigeria.
