Sunil S. Amrith Quotes

Picture The Bay Of Bengal As An Expanse Of Tropical Water: Still And Blue In The Calm Of The January Winter, Or Raging And Turbid With Silt At The Peak Of The Summer Rains. Picture It In Two Dimensions On A Map, Overlaid With A Web Of Shipping Channels And Telegraph Cables And Inscribed With Lines Of Distance. Now Imagine The Sea As A Mental Map: As A Family Tree Of Cousins, Uncles, Sisters, Sons, Connected By Letters And Journeys And Stories. Think Of It As A Sea Of Debt, Bound By Advances And Loans And Obligations. Picture The Bay Of Bengal Even Where It Is Absent - Deep In The Malaysian Jungle, Where Hindu Shrines Sprout From The Landscape As If Washed Up By The Sea, Left Behind.
