Message:   Well I just cannot understand why some people in the world want cheap publicity. I agree "any publicity is a good publicity". But as a literary personality you have a responsibility to refine the society and absolve it of sins or misdeeds and misconceptions.

Writers like Salman Rushdie want publicity fast and they resort to cheap methods. Why do we recognize those writers alone who go into controversies. "Midnight's Children" ,"The Moors Last Sight" , " The Ground Beneath Her Feet" and books like that by same author are least known to you and me but the controversial titles hit us fast and deep.

My friend " Shalimar the Clown" is another step in this direction. We should be like the famous kashmiri saying goes...

"Hunne Worran...karkhan chalan"
If we react by hartals...we continue to be stupids!

Let me get the copy of book first or review...
till then!!
