Hitchens definitely had his problems, but critiquing Mother Teresa for all the absolute shit she did was not one of them. Because of his proximity to the other horsemen and as a result of some of his other views, I was expecting for there to be some major issues here.
But it's a good starting point for anyone who wants directions in critiquing the harms and impacts of Mother Teresa or, in general, the church system that supported her bullshit.
হিচেনস্ সাহেব ধারালো। প্রচণ্ড ধারালো। এই ছোট্ট বইয়ে সে মোটামুটি টেরিজার সফেদ মূর্তি সটান কাদায় ফেলে দিয়েছে।
The view of Mother Theresa as someone who saw poverty as an opportunity for conversion is not particularly new (possibly because I read this book so long after it was written). What did surprise me, though, was the number of people who are determined to believe in the myth of her humanitarianism, even though neither her words nor her actions supported this view.
