Where Swamis Foregather in Benares and Boston
Franch and Clark compare Boston as a Brahmins' hub with Benares as a Hinduism epicenter. They contrast cleanliness, wealth from centuries of devotion, and sacred rites against Benares’ filth, crowded temples, and stark poverty, arguing Boston’s virtues outshine the Indian city’s religious spectacle. The piece labels Benares a product of 20 centuries of Hinduism and notes sacred bathing, cremations, and animal neglect.
