[Stoves] Off-topic: Pictures and perceptions - GACC at Imperial Hotel, New Delhi

[Traveller]

It is really an neo-imperial enterprise, it seems.

Because images influence perceptions. GACC is in the business of raising
money and earning bonuses. The image of three Indian women crouching in
front of mostly European Whites says more than the earlier item at the
White House.

This is poverty pornography. Just like those images of women cooking in
dark, smokey places. While the queens of Chappaqua and Washington, DC seek
to rule the cooking world of the poor.

GACC said, "At a private demonstration held at Delhi’s Imperial Hotel, the
chefs learned how sustained use of clean cookstoves and fuels can save
lives, improve livelihoods, empower women, and protect the environment."

Yeah. The Imperial Hotel is a great example itself - employs a lot of
women, and has grown trees around.

If anybody happens to be in New Delhi, I suggest a lunch at the Imperial,
probably around $15 plus tip per person, no alcohol. Roam around in the
hotel and you will discover interesting historical titbits.
