quote:Fareed Rafiq Zakaria is perhaps America’s most celebrated public intellectual. Born 50 years ago to an elite Muslim family in Mumbai—his father was a prominent Indian politician, his mother the editor of India’s Sunday Times—he boasts a glittering resume that includes a Yale bachelor’s degree and a Harvard doctorate; the editorships of, and articles in, some of the nation’s more influential magazines and newspapers; three favorably-reviewed books on foreign policy; and a prestigious adjunct professorship at Columbia University.

MonsieurChoc posted:Why is reminding people of the british Raj framed as a positive!? Because when people think of the Raj they don't think of the real thing but what images pop culture has pressed into their brains: Maharajas riding on elephants through the jungle to hunt tigers, diamonds as big as your head glittering in the treasure chamber, sexy and mysterious belly dancers in the palace, some old dude summoning a snake from a basket with his flute, strange death cults hunting for virgin blood, a stoic British officer with a mustache and a pith helmet working for the common good of the people - for people who are still stuck in this mindset the Raj is something mysterious, and alluring, and sultry in both senses of the word and still cultured in a way a white person can appreciate. This mental image was still mostly how India was portrayed when I was a kid in the 90s, and I grew up in loving Germany. No idea how it was/is in the States

I think you just described "Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom," and that checks out for most Americans.
