Sincerely, up until now the only short story I have really liked and actually enjoyed reading. The story was in some way a horrible way to see the reality that people in India live with the caste system, a horrible system I would say. I remember the Professor asking me if Krishnan Varma was criticizing the government or the situation going on in India personally I believe he is. Anyone that shows the entire world how badly people live in a country or a certain place is, how people die from starvation specially kids, how people see the killing of other human beings as normal or how marginalized the government has his own people, is surely criticizing. Maybe the author is not doing it explicitly maybe he portrays it as normal so not everybody sees that he is criticizing but implicitly hes doing it. I mean I wouldn't write a story of how bad criminality, drugs problems and the government is in Puerto Rico without the intention of making a critic, some people may see it as a critic and some may see it as something someone wrote because he wanted to. I liked the way he portrayed everything as it was, crude, without pouring glitter over his words and the situation to make it look pretty or maybe what it really isn't to suit the liking's of anyone.
