#1 Few have contributed as much to literature as Salman Rushdie
Not just his novels - he worked tirelessly to promote great writers, poets, songwriters and is a fierce advocate for free speech

He is a wonderful talent and an extraordinary gentleman, full of courage and a great sense of humour

#3 Second that, Anon1. I've met him twice. We actually wasted two of his would be killers back in 2012 and arrested all idjits asking for his head. Poor guy thought he'd be safe in NY.

#4 He visited India multiple times. And the sasquatches here couldn't as much as get within a kilometre of him. The government cancelled his speech in Rajasthan once, to prevent an attack on him. He criticized them saying that when he was ready to die for liberty, why were entire governments cowed by Islamists?

#5 He's more valuable to civilization alive than dead and the Indian government recognized that?

#6 Of course. Besides it woulda been a terrible diplomatic snafu if a britisher, a friend of very prominent people, and all round good guy were to be knifed like a punk in our care. We've offed plenty sasquatches who try and come for Taslima Nasreen too.
