A <I>part</I> of his identity is rooted in India. His father was [is?] Indian. IS left India when he was 17. All his books so far have references to India - either they're directly about India or refer to aspects of it. [Cybergysies, though not about India in any way talks about some of his experiences in India.] <BR/><BR/>His next book however has nothing to do with India. And he'd rather not be called an Indian writer. Not because he doesn't feel/ or want to be linked with the country, but because it is a limiting description. it's like say he's a male writer. unnecessary. <BR/><BR/>ok enough.Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557492407687365362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29594306.post-68226360953235975022007-10-10T11:26:00.000+05:302007-10-10T11:26:00.000+05:30Now I'm truly disappointed. :-(Now I'm truly disappointed. :-(Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557492407687365362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29594306.post-19546210344648672932007-10-10T02:44:00.000+05:302007-10-10T02:44:00.000+05:30oh, i didnt really read the post properly. in case...oh, i didnt really read the post properly. in case you thought that was what i was referring to...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29594306.post-32269919991397304732007-10-01T19:42:00.000+05:302007-10-01T19:42:00.000+05:30Yep.

You make it worthwhile. Thank you. <BR/><BR/>Also, thank you on behalf of U. Though I suspect he’d rather he had better inspiration for his creativity. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Migs, thanks. Y’know, you made me think about it. I’ve never liked to think of myself as a ‘patriotic’ person – not in the supercilious maligned nationalistic sense of the word. So I did actually try to make sense of why I feel so excited about Mr. Sinha’s achievement. <BR/><BR/>To begin with he’s an expat, as seem to be many successful [internationally] writers of Indian origin. I’m not sure why, in a country as large and populous as ours we aren’t able produce writers of the calibre that one is able to appreciate on International forums. I think it has everything to do with the ‘mainstream-ised’ western perspective and how it’s become ingrained in our systems of judgement. However I am also aware that it is a far more complex idea than this glittering generality that I’ve excreted here suggests. <BR/><BR/>What I do truly appreciate is that he’s used his gift to give back to what he comes from, or perhaps, to be a little more accurate, what he derives a part of his identity from. He has, after all, spent most of his life in another part of the world – a part of the world that is probably responsible for the enhancement of his gift.Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557492407687365362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29594306.post-56511611528551657032007-08-26T12:19:00.000+05:302007-08-26T12:19:00.000+05:30Yay indeed!
