		<description><![CDATA[I am currently reading &#8220;Culture and Imperialism&#8221; by Edward Said, about how culture &#8211; literature and art &#8211; create the context for imperialist practices. Said, in my reading, sees culture&#8217;s support for imperialism not so much a self conscious propaganda exercise, but a deep rooted and even subconscious bias that determines how the world is perceived.

		<description><![CDATA[I just finished reading a biography of Gandhi and it is quite impossible to make up one&#8217;s mind about him. He comes across as a saint, a moral force, perverted, neurotic, uncompromising, manipulative, disingenuous, or power hungry at different times. All in all however, my positive assessment of him remains. I think he was fundamentally [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pankajunk.wordpress.com&amp;blog=390010&amp;post=1010&amp;subd=pankajunk&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was watching a documentary on China the other day on an American channel. I can&#8217;t help but notice the not-so-subtle discourse in American coverage of China, no matter the channel. The story of economic success always has some subtle catches &#8211; the human toll of the success, an autocratic government.
