I could never understand how anyone can find Nussbaum's writings as remotely interesting. "For those who like that sort of thing, that's the sort of thing they like."
The only reason she has such a media presence in India is because she is white. The stupidity of American academics on all matters Indian is almost too astonishing to believe - that goes for her pal Amartya Sen as well. Anyone who has any understanding of this cult (yes I use that word after due consideration) hates them with passion.
