“The sight of a foreign backpacker no longer feels like an event, and thank god for that. Indifference is its own quiet kind of progress.”
Anurag Minus Verma, The Great Indian Brain Rot : Love, Lies and Algorithms in Digital India

Bruce Gilley
“Then you can say: those people had a bad conscience. But perhaps those people, in that time and context, really believed this to be the best choice for their country. Regardless of its limitations the colonial world offered more opportunities and protection than indigenous governance would have done. And the post-colonial experience has taught us that those people were right!”
Bruce Gilley
