I’ve Lived In Several Countries

The Trustworthiness Of Servants Is The Basis Of The Entire Indian Economy.

Too Much Of Indian Writing In English, It Seemed To Me, Consisted Of Middle-class People Writing About Other Middle-class People - And A Small Slice Of Life Being Passed Off As An Authentic Portrait Of The Country.

It Has Always Been Very Difficult For Writers To Survive Commercially In India Because The Market Was So Small. But That's Not True At All Any More. It's One Of The World's Fastest Growing And Most Vibrant Markets For Books, Especially In English.

Go To Old Delhi,and Look At The Way They Keep Chickens There In The Market. Hundred Of Pale Hens And Brightly Colored Roosters, Stuffed Tightly Into Wire-mesh Cages. They See The Organs Of Their Brothers Lying Around Them.they Know They Are Next, Yet They Cannot Rebel. They Do Not Try To Get Out Of The Coop. The Very Same Thing Is Done With Humans In This Country.

Because In This World, There Is A Line: On One Side Are The Men Who Cannot Get Things Done, And On The Other Side Are The Men Who Can. And Not One In A Hundred Will Cross That Line. Will You?
