Why the BJP doesn’t like Aravind Adiga

Daipayan Halder reads the parivar’s mind:

Between 2004 and now, India hasn’t changed much.

As the BJP prepares for another election, the party and its spokesmen it seems are still unmindful of this other India, the India Whining.

On October 26, in Pioneer, Kanchan Gupta wrote that this year’s Man Booker winner Arvind Adiga’s portrayal of India would be shocking to most Indians. Why? Because Adiga’s hero mocks the many Gods that the majority of Hindus in India worship. Because he is amoral, unscrupulous at times.

Coming from darkness, he dreamt of crossing over to the other India, the India Shining… and did, even if it made him a murderer and a thief to do so.
