Addressing a gathering at Ravidas Jayanti in Mumbai recently, Dr. Mohan Bhagwat, the Sarsanghchalak of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), as cited in the Organiser, dateline Feb 6, 2023, has said - “To our Creator, we are equal. There is no caste or sect. If some pundits citing scriptures are talking about caste-based discrimination, then it is false. .. We are confused in the whirlpool of the concept of caste and caste hierarchy. This confusion has to be removed. “ Maybe, Dr. Bhagwat's assertion supra is primarily meant to douse the Shudra political fire but if only carried forward, it has an immense potential to set the Hindu polity on its reformist course like none else before.” [mehr]

Hartmut, der Sohn eines Forellenzüchters, und Bernarda, die Tochter des Baron von Hohenfels, lieben sich. Das Rittergut des Barons mit seiner Landwirtschaft und Wäldern steht vor dem Konkurs. So flehen der Baron und seine Frau Bernada an, den Banker Dr. Bodo Dierks zu heiraten, um den Verlust des Gutes abzuwenden. Bernarda lässt sich ihrer Mutter zuliebe auf den Handel ein und heiratet Dr. Dierks. Hartmut verflucht auf der Hochzeitsfeier die Verbindung und flüchtet in seiner Verzweiflung Hals über Kopf aus dem heimatlichen Dorf. Er gerät in Hamburg ins Rotlichtmilieu. Anfangs macht er sich als Einkäufer für die Frauen eines Bordells nützlich, ehe er sich als Dealer verdingt und zum Liebhaber der rauschgiftsüchtigen Lebedame Irene wird. Sonny, ein ehemaliger dem Alkohol verfallener Zuhälter, warnt ihn eines Tages vor einer Razzia des Rauschgift-Dezernat und verschafft ihm einen Platz auf einem indischen Frachter, der am nächsten Tag nach Mumbai auslaufen wird. Der Kapitän des Schiffes, lässt Hartmut in Mumbai heimlich an Land bringen und besorgt ihm einen Unterschlupf im Dhavari, dem größten Slums Asiens. Das ist jedoch erst der Beginn seiner abenteuerlichen Odyssee. Auf Anraten seines Schwiegersohnes Bodo Dierks hat der Baron sein Anwesen bei der Bank beliehen und einen Schweinemast-Betrieb aufgezogen. Er kommt rasch zu Wohlstand, nur der vom Baron so ersehnte Hoferbe will sich nicht einstellen, da Bodo Dierks homosexuell ist. Der Baron gewinnt Gefallen am Glücksspiel und versucht sich anfangs mit viel Erfolg auch an der Spekulation mit Aktien. Bernada versucht, nach dem Verlust ihrer Liebe zu Hartmut ihrem Leben einen Sinn zu geben und geht als Krankenschwester in die Entwicklungsländer. Sie kommt über Afrika, Südamerika auch nach Myanmar und Kambodscha. Nach einigen Jahren wird sie auch in Indien eingesetzt. [mehr]

Hans Christoph Buch ist der große Reisende unter den deutschen Schriftstellern. Jetzt legt er einen neuen Abenteuer- und Reiseroman vor, voller unterhaltsamer Geschichten. Wir begleiten den namenlosen Erzähler, einen furchtlosen und kritischen Beobachter, auf acht seiner Reisen. In Mumbai bewegt sich der Erzähler durch die Rotlichtbezirke der Stadt, er ist gleichermaßen angezogen und abgestoßen vom Schmutz und vom billigen Sex an jeder Ecke. Eine Minderjährige bietet sich ihm an, um ein Haar gibt er einem seltsamen Verlangen nach. Er begleitet einen Arzt und HIV-Experten, der ihn mit dem ganzen Elend der Prostitution konfrontiert. In der Hitze ein nicht enden wollendes Hupkonzert, die Abgase formen schwere Wolken, darüber steht die flirrende Sonne. Weiter reisen wir nach Islamabad, folgen dem Erzähler auf seiner Suche nach einem halbwegs legalen Whiskey und dem verschwundenen deutschen Kriegsreporter Kapruner. Zusammen mit einer kleinen deutschen Kulturdelegation kommen wir nach Beijing und Shanghai, sitzen mit ihm in der Kälte im Packeis der Antarktis fest, delirieren in der Hitze des Senegals und des Kongo und landen inmitten der Wirren eines Putsches auf Haiti. Entstanden ist ein lebendiger und humorvoller Reiseroman, der die Welt abseits bekannter touristischer Ziele ebenso liebevoll wie aufmerksam beobachtend beschreibt. Eine Travestie und Burleske, eine abenteuerliche Reise um die Welt in acht Nächten. [mehr]

"the sound of women’s laughter drifted across the still water of the harbour, lights glinted on the oily blue surface. She was an Indian ship, The Mumbai Princess. He could see turbaned members of the crew moving among the guests serving drinks. It was Divali, the Indian festival of light, flickering lanterns and night lights. In the stern of the ship was a golden statue, one of the Hindu goddesses- garlands of bright flowers hung round her neck. She shimmered, reflecting the light surrounding her. Ahan looked down at the sea. Underwater it was dark, only his ROV lit the gloom when it dived into the deep. The powerful bulbs illuminated his world ahead of him. He manoeuvred the craft with ease. But you had to be careful. The umbilicals that fed life into the ROV and returned signals and pictures to his mind had to be kept free from snagging on wrecks and bits of pipeline structure. Was he like the goddess with his ROV? Did he bring light into the world of darkness? The goddess was already in a world of light and colour He headed below; time to turn in, it would be a long shift tomorrow." [mehr]
