"Wenn ein Autor Figuren entwirft, damit sie es schwer haben, ist das ja auf einer höheren Ebene auch das, wovon wir uns vorstellen, dass Gott es mit uns macht, dass unser Leiden einen Sinn hat und dass es eben nicht anders möglich ist.

Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.

They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
