| Plot Summary of Atul's Quest |
|---|
"Atul is an undergraduate economics student of Indian origin. The story has two interdependent tracks. The main track is about Atul's belief that whites are more beautiful and all other races should improve their racial beauty through interracial marriage with whites. A Yale professor of economics agrees to (secretly) help him study the concept of whitening. While investigating this topic Atul accidentally discovers a secret society of Indian professionals who are helping each other find suitable (white) spouses. Atul joins this society, ends his contact with the professor at Society's request, and (with the Society's help) finds a Hispanic girlfriend.
"
Nader Habibi, Resident Scholar
