...would be presumptuous to believe on one end that Indians need the infusion of Western culture as a step toward “civilization,” when their own culture predates Western ideas by several millennia (so forgo any “White Man’s Burden??)—and at the other, that India is still stuck in its past, and likes it that way. Arranged marriage is out, the once exceptional “love marriage” now almost the rule. More women work outside the home, and a recent high court...

According to Massachusetts state law, students who are unable to attend class or participate in an examination due to religious observance must be excused without penalty and provided the opportunity for a makeup if it does not constitute an “unreasonable burden?? on the school. Though official Harvard policy parallels the law in theory, in practice there is a wide disparity in the degree to which professors are willing to accommodate their religiously obligated students.
