Salman Rushdie Knighted
I'm delighted to see that Salman Rushdie has been knighted (he's now "Sir Salman Rushdie") in the Queen's "Birthday Honours List" announced today. Rushdie is probably the most significant "Anglo-Indian" author writing today, and all his books are wonderful - if you've never read any, I do urge you to do so!
(All the fuss about "The Satanic Verses" came, I'm certain, predominantly from people who'd never actually read it, as is usually the case in these situations.)
