(This book was written between 1994-97, published in 1997 by HarperCollins. Even I would be unable to write, let alone publish, such a non-pc book today!)
Essays, Humor, Political and Sociological Commentary, Cultural Critique: nearly 15 years after HarperCollins India published my controversial book, BEAUTY QUEENS, CHILDREN AND THE DEATH OF SEX (one magazine called it "classy humor"), four of its central chapters are published and available to readers everywhere as:
No Sex, Please: You Are Indians!

"An Afternoon With Miss India," (a real episode from a national television interview with a Miss Universe and a movie star); "Children and the Death of Sex", and "More Sex Please, We Are Indian"--three long essays. In addition, it also includes the interview with reputed senior author Khushwant Singh, and a brief excerpt from "Impressing the Whites," both of which allude to sexual repression in the land of the Kama Sutra.
The essays are a combination of humor, tongue-in-cheek statement, politically incorrect commentary, and serious examination of sexual issues and of modern Indians' often tortured and confused attitudes towards sex.
Because I want the book to be true to the moment, not a single word has been censored, despite possible political correctness objections or afterthoughts.
