"Illiterates" = often a code word for "trash," whoever uses it. Then also the word "foreigners" trashed. It resulted in kind of a cascade. It started with the driving license! Then there's me--I know mostly when I speak of land, labor, sunlight, rain, what plants need, root hairs, and so on...I might as well be from a different planet. Abyss. ( Our cook in Karachi brought back back to us a giant bag of walnuts from his farm in Kashmir, so Ujwala's talk of the rural project is on exactly the right track.) So Eugenio was angry and spoke up, I thought it was great as I resonate to some of those same chords. Touching a person's family is like touching the third rail of politics. Andrea
