Hi DP: Many thanks for your response! Regarding my turn, let me start with my reverse question to you of how you feel if some one tries to picture the place where you born and raise as the opposite as it is. I think you lauded her on winning a booke prize and also her excellent writing, but that is not what I am satisfied with the writer. What matters writing is the essence of writing. Just because someone has a priviledge heritage on the field of literature and has over prized education, so winning booker prize or similar makes no sense. There are so many other good deserving writers than her for such recognition. Well, perhaps I am seeing from one perspective, and may be I am not seeing from the other side. As I have not read it yet to just to accuse her writing, but I have at least some sense of understanding of what do you mean by writing. What I was bit offended was the social interpretation of Nepalese living in Darjeeling, a tiny part in the state of West Bengal where Nepalese are treated as a third class citizen by few ruling Indians, a typical indian perception to any Nepalese as a Kanchha,Bahadur, Watchman, Kanchhi and etc. And it is so sad to see the same in the book by distinguished writer as her. Well, thanks for sharing once again DP. I enjoyed sharing with you too...!!!
