Indians and sexual liberation, American politics, Bill Clinton, Western feminism transplanted into Asia, Miss World Sushmita Sen, Khushwant Singh on Indian sexual hypocrisy, beauty contests, free expression and Indians--a multitude of subjects--political, sexual, social, and humorous--are addressed in this controversial book of essays and fiction originally published by HarperCollins India in 1997, then censored by the establishment, is now published as a revised but still uncensored e-book. 

This was the author's second book, one that followed his widely published and bestselling first novel, "The Revised Kama Sutra," with which it shares a general: irreverence, passion, idealism, no-holy-cows humor, wordplay, and absurdity. This e-book edition contains NEW and UNPUBLISHED essays or enhanced essays from the original. 
Extracts from a few reviews:
--“His subjects inspire the sparkling best in him and his fine prose is as sparkling as ever with wit, racy yet refined.”—Indian Express
--“Pungent, witty and incisive . . . leaves the reader surprised, provoked and sometimes outraged. Guaranteed to make a good read.”–Press Trust of India.
--“After his best-selling The Revised Kama Sutra, Richard Crasta is back with another enjoyable book.  Flippant and full of satire . . . full of subtle humor, the book takes a lighter look at contemporary India . . . telling it like it is—no holds barred.  Not your average humour but a classy, welcome change.  Get it.”—Femina
--“Biting, cynical . . . zany sense of humour.”–India Today
