For the record, Quisling represented 3% of the population - approximately.

And that included the opportunists that joined him after the German

occupation was a fact. In the thirties, his "movement" was practically

coming apart. And Norway, by the way, was not the only occupied country

with collaborators.

Was it now? I don't recall. What I did was to point out that we now should

turn our attention to the moral problems of India, where they abound, since

we have been talking so long about the West. In fact, several years. As I

said: let us discuss the caste system and the oppression of the Dalits, let

us discuss why high-caste Hindus don't want to accept food and drink from

"impure" casts, why they have to live separated from others ("apartheid"),

and why so many Dalit women get raped by high-caste men. Why doesn't their

"impurity" protect them? A fascinating question indeed!
