Re: Indian tycoon hosts Salman Rushdie, angers Muslims
Godrej has a right to invite anybody and the AIUC leader has a right to call for boycott of Godrej products. I am just surprised that the latter hasn't realized how many muslims work in Godrej businesses.
As somebody pointed out, the Satanic Verses would have been long forgotten as a c grade work long ago but for the hue and cry created by the fundamentalists. I tried reading it but found it badly written, lacking any literary value and frankly a waste of time. So stopped after about 30%.
Partially agree on that. You are very right when you say It is c grade work and It is a C grade work indeed! But remember, Khomaini was all Evil at that time and Israel needed anything to propagade that he devils advocate. Thus the positive projection by media as a result all the attention and hype on Rushdie 's one liners collection with blasphemic content, made him shake hands with superstars and celebrities of all kind. And let us know who is in controll of all media ever since :)
