Harinder Veriah

I have just read the most incredible article in today's Guardian. It's by Martin Jacques, who I remember more for editing Marxism Today than for anything else, but it's not about that. It's about Harinder Veriah, the woman he fell in love with in 1993, the time they spent together and how she died in 2000. It's about love and loving someone and it's about the realities of racism in this world and how little you know about this if you're white, even if you think you do. It's an amazing piece of writing, and it made me ache inside.
