Tragically, a series of bombings have rocked trains in India. The talking heads are busy speculating on the cause. Whatever the case, I’m sure the facts will quickly be reshaped to conform to the American political rubric (“fighting those who hate freedom over there”).
It’s a sad reflection of my world knowledge that I didn’t realize until now that Bombay has been renamed as Mumbai. The name was officially changed 11 years ago. Where have I been?
