V.S. Naipaul and the War on Terror

From the “Books” section, The Times of London: “‘I had no idea that madness in the Islamic world had gone so far.‘”

“V. S. Naipaul, at 70, speaks about his controversial career and reveals that ‘for the first time in my life, I’m doing nothing.”

But what has really stung some Indians is [Naipaul’s] sympathy for Hindu revivalism in the form of the BJP, now in government, and his unwillingness to condemn excesses such as the 1992 destruction of the mosque in Ayodhya.

He feels a definite antipathy for Islam

    I think it’s time for me to re-read Sir Vidia’s Among the Believers and Beyond Belief again.
