Even Oprah Winfrey could be in India
for the much celebrated Jaipur
literary festival to see the calm beneath the chaos that is India
There is an auspicious time for almost everything in India
For Salman Rushdie, the celebrated author of ‘Satanic
Verses’, an English novel considered offensive by many Muslims, the invitation
and the visit n must have been a routine event.
Rushdie, who had to leave India Iran India
However this time, he had to abandon his plans at the last
minute after receiving intelligence information that paid assassins are on the
prowl in Jaipur to take his life.
The circumstances which led to his withdrawal provoked angry
reaction from a section of the writers participating in the festival who made a
public demonstration of their disgust by choosing to openly and publicly read
out parts of the book which remains banned in India
This obviously was against the law in India
No wonder Oprah Winfrey must have genuinely concerned about
all these events going on in swift succession which must have been really
chaotic for anyone, who is not aware of the intricacies of the Indian social
fabric, which, more than anything else, define the electoral politics of India.
Clearly it is bad timing. It is not sure if the organisers
of the festival, who must be well aware of the issues and sensitivities of the
vote bank politics of India, which vie for the Muslim votes in any election or
the election commission which decided on an earlier than usual timing for
elections in five states, needs to be blamed!
Once again, India
However, the renewed demand to lift the ban on the novel of
Rushdie which the chaotic events have spurred as an outcome of the whole
episode as well as the decision by Rushdie to address the festival through
video conference must offer some consolation to everyone for who free speech is
as vital as free air!
