Re: Pakistan’s reaction on Rushdie knighthood
Here comes supporter of Rushdie. sigh.
What OTHER books are you talking about, except “Midnight’s Children”?
I have neither read Satanic Verses nor Midnight’s Children. But there are many who are saying that Rushdie does not deserve to be knighted based on his work.

“But I am astounded at the decision to give him a knighthood. Why? His corpus of work is just not that good. Midnight’s Children was readable, but a bit formulaic. Rushdie’s prose has all the cutting edge of a damp cloth. Satanic Verses may be shocking, but has little else to recommend it.”
The only reason he is knighted is because the offense he caused to Muslims.
