india’s govt and the sex trade

A prostitute’s biography has exposed links between authorities in India’s Kerala state and the sex trade. Link via Asian Sex Gazette (article worksafe, but porn ads on site).:

Fifty-one-year-old Nalini Jameela’s autobiography exposes like never before how deeply politicians and senior officials in the "progressive" state - which tops welfare and literacy charts - are involved in a flourishing sex racket.
It was at the state’s cultural capital of Thrissur that a 25-year-old Nalini was initiated into prostitution.
A police jeep had taken her and friend Rosa, a veteran in the trade by then, to Ramanilayam - a government guest house and political beehive - to serve a senior police officer and a politician.

While this doesn’t reflect well on India’s government, the expose does have a silver lining: Jameela’s book has smashed the sales record previously held by a ‘Marxist scholar’
