 | | To imply (as Dr. Wallia did), that the world wide praise and acclaim that came to Rushdie after this controversy, was the result of a "global collective sigh of sympathy", is confusing two issues: one being that of freedom of speech and expression, and the other, of the writer's craft. |
 | | Another point that Dr Wallia makes, is that of criticizing the comments of one "well known American professor of creative writing", in the latter's having said that "the whole subcontinent has found it's voice" in Rushdie's work. |
