As Tharoor points out, even the British themselves estimated that “taxation was two or three times higher than it had ever been under non-British rule, and higher than anywhere else in the world”. A world region that had been known for making textiles, steel and ships was basically reduced to a raw-material producing colony. ![]() The British blocked India’s industrial development, as Tharoor shows. At that point, the British state took over after having quelled an Indian uprising. The East India Company was the sovereign power until 1858. ![]() It was set up in 1600 to trade in silk, spices and other goods and soon controlled most of India. From the start, the British East India Company was a profit-driven enterprise. The colonialists were not on a civilising mission they brutally exploited the subcontinent. His new book convincingly proves that right-wing apologists of the British empire are wrong. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In spite of a rather implausible beginning, this fine coming-of-age story recalls Hinton's Tex or Crutcher's early novels.

However, only some of them (I’ll point those out) are also ‘fluffy’, meaning there are no dark themes present at all. Nonetheless, after a request from one of my readers, here are nine novels on the lighter side of RH.Ī note on terminology: I would characterise all of these recommendations as ‘sweet’, meaning there’s no relationship angst/drama between the protagonists and they don’t mistreat each other. While I’ve read a LOT of reverse harem books, the vast majority of this genre has been swamped by the bully/prison/enemies-to-lovers tropes – which don’t exactly lend themselves to the sweet and fluffy.

This includes his firm belief in love as a remedy for the ills of American society. Baldwin’s style of writing and his particular perspective on social issues might have seemed old-fashioned and out of touch. ![]() Black feminists were recognized as a force in their own right.

A new wave of writers and literary styles arrived in the late 60s and 70s. Towards the end of that decade, however, his success slowly waned. James Baldwin was one of the central voices of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Not surprisingly, then, love is also central to my analysis of If Beale Street Could Talk. Love, its absence, and its absolute necessity for us, individually and collectively, is the fundamental theme of James Baldwin’s work. The love and the laughter come from the same place: but not many people go there. ![]() I guess it can’t be too often that two people can laugh and make love, too, make love because they are laughing, laugh because they’re making love. ![]() ![]() ![]() Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg was born on January 19, 1982, in South Bend, Indiana, U.S. He also received $150,000 for a 20-episode podcast on iHeartMedia called “The Deciding Decade.” Buttigieg’s Early Years In 2022, the family moved to Traverse City, Michigan which is Chasten’s hometown where his parents still live.
