Under the terms of the new proclamation, Red defectors "will be given the opportunity to reform and redeem themselves by deeds, and depending on these deeds, will be entitled to lighter sentences or be absolved of past offenses."

The Western male, however, may feel as mixed up as the lady who called Rama a "lecherous eunuch," and wonder about the Eastern profundities that sprinkle the book like sacred coconut in the curry. Example: "What is holiness but the assurance man has of himself?" Nor is there much help from the book's epigraph which quotes from the guru: "Waves are nothing but water. So is the sea." While conceding that it probably sounds better in Sanskrit, the bemused Westerner...
