I believe you are right. Following her diet will surely help the
hopelessly neo-liberal among us to see the obvious parallels between
21st century India and 18th and 19th century Europe. We will begin to
see, as we gently masticate her favorite Malayali coconut curry, that
class polarization in India is inexorably pushing it towards
Revolution, and we will be shaken out of our slothful complacence with
every spicy morsel that goes down our throat. All in all it can only
do us good, both gastronomically as well as politically.
