All time stories for all men

Okay, the title of this Mint article had me bristling with what must be called "righteous indignation". Why the gender bias? But these days I am reading The Complete Idiot's Guide To Zen Living. So I acknowledged my irritation and sent it on its merry way.

I am glad I did so because the article mentions an interesting list of books. I, for one, have added at least two of them in my list of 'books for a rainy day' - Fall Of The Mughal Empire and The British Conquest And Dominion of India.

But seriously, I do wonder what prompted the column-writer to think that these stories are for men. :-)
