Mountbatten, Nehru, and Edwina In his book *Histoire de l’Inde *(*A Brief History of India*), Alain Daniélou notes that Jawaharlal Nehru had little knowledge of the traditions and history of Hinduism; his thinking was thoroughly anglicized; his mind was filled with romantic notions of fabian socialism which he had picked up from British intellectuals and leftist activists.

He referred to Lear's sit-coms as promoting the Marxist plan to abolish the traditional family by demeaning the role of fathers, glamorizing or laughing at sexual promiscuity, promoting subjective truth and no boundaries values, and normalizing the secular humanist view. Certainly something to think about because the younger boomers and older gen-x were simmered in this cultural stew. One Lie at a Time - Th... read more
