At Jaipur wanted to visit the cenotaph honouring Rana Sanga. Taxi driver clueless. GPS clueless, villagers slight clue, not accessible by vehicle, right next to a railway track. Dirty unkempt. What's the point of bemoaning a series on Babur. We don't know nor honor our heroes.

If you grew up watching Doordarshan and reading The Hindu in the 80s you'd think Yasser Arafat was god and the Likud Party the incarnation of evil Unlearning about the Palestinian conflict has been one of my most important attempts at being intellectually honest.
