| Abstract: | A semi-jocular remark which makes rol.ll1ds amongst the Indian readers of Persian poetry runs along the following lines: I went through the Yu suf-Zulaikha from cover to cover and could not find out which of the two lovers, Yusuf and Zulaikha, was the male. The remark derives meaning from the following interrelated observa tions: (a) P ersian is a (technically speaking) gender-free language, and (b) in Persian love poetry both the partners in love are males. |
