ramesh , we see daily kwami , berbicians et al agonising over this
and me pointing this fact out :
Naipaul's earlier statements, especially his remarks that the first Mughal emperor
Babur's invasion of India "left a deep wound",
are consistent with ideas Naipaul has been airing for many years now.
Ancient Hindu India was destroyed."

[/quote] Naipaul is absolutely correct The Barbur invasion destroyed Ancient India and the scars from those wounds has still not healed.

It might seem unlikely that a Nobel Laureate
would put himself in a position of apparently endorsing an act
that spawned mass murder -

Nobel can be purchased....we usually meet the queen and get knighted...
or collect Gold : see above
no kiss me arse nobel for jackasses like Naipaul
Re: Naipaulian tour: Trinidad’s first family of literature - ketchim - 11-08-2015
Nevertheless, Naipaul's entirely negative understanding of India's Islamic history
has its roots firmly in the mainstream imperial historiography
of Victorian Britain.

More striking still was the quote attributed to Naipaul about the destruction
of the Babri Masjid, Babur's mosque, in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, a decade ago:
"Ayodhya is a sort of passion," he said. "Any passion is to be encouraged.
Passion leads to creativity."
For a man whose work contains many eloquent warnings of the dangers
of misplaced political passions -
this might appear to be a surprising volte face ::LOL:: a.k.a Trini comess
