 Port Vila Presse Online Vanuatu News :: Amarenda Nath Ghosh - City conman too smart for Germans
Ghosh swallowed a knife last August when successive judicial pronouncements in Germany suggested his extradition was just a matter of time.
Incidentally, Ghosh had made several attempts to oppose extradition on the ground that he would be tortured by the CBI and got his parents — living in Kasba’s RK Ghoshal Road — to swear on affidavit as much.
Earlier, the CBI said, Ghosh had given liberal donations to the Vanuatu government for disaster relief and was appointed honourary consul to Thailand.

 Manas: History and Politics, British India, Amitav Ghosh: review article by Vinay Lal
What is unsettling for Ghosh, to begin with, is that it is not he who is directing the interrogation, but rather they who were supposed to be the informants: the ethnographer is not in control of the investigation, the mastery over the other is not easily achieved.
Though the symbols by which Ghosh and his 'Hindu' culture are sought to be understood may well constitute an empire of signs, it is an unfinished empire, an empire that allows for modes of recognition that we could well consider universals.
Ghosh brings to bear upon his understanding of the postulated syncreticism and cosmopolitanism of the medieval world a cluster of facts.
