Dear Mr. Sinha, It seems your "contempt" for Indian politicians is matched only by your complete ignorance of literary festivals in India. I was mildly interested after reading some of the stuff about you but it seems you are too busy hailing everything "phoren" like a typical NRI. Not sure if your "phoren" politicians are one bit better than their Indian counterparts. However, if you can get off your high perch of ignorance and contempt, then I suggest you visit the February book fair in kolkata and the Delhi book fair. They are both impressive, in their own way. The kolkata one is more vibrant, but the delhi one seems to have a very different charm of its own.
