Someone here wrote Francois G is world-famous.. Francois G is not famous world-wide. He writes/wrote for Le Figaro and some other French mag, but he is not widely known outside his circle of political/ ideological co-travelers. For some reason rediff gives him an occasional space, I don't know why, which he fills with his shallow essays. His writings, because of his bias, is liked by people who has an inclination for sectarian thinking, true. FG's writings are somewhat pedestrian, and has no true depth. But his motivation may be to create divides,in which he succeeds at least in the virtual space (as you can see in this discussion forum here, where you see the virulent divide in full play).I don't know what he hopes to gain from it.
I still wish him all the best, and hopes he improves in his research, as well as in his writing skills, gets rid of his irrational biases and ulterior motives, and one day becomes a true professional writer, which he really wants to be.

I wish you would dissect uneducated, illiterate, gold-digger from an extremely poor family, Madame Sonia Gandhi with the same eloquence you do for a professional, who has done a lot for preservation of Indian heritage and culture, and has done enormous amounts of social work.
By contrast, all Sonia Gandghi achieved in her entire life was to marry into a pwoerful Indian family. She has never lifted a finger to do any social work for Indians, and has enjoyed the priveleged life of foreign expat living in India. She has been instrumental in destroying Indian heritage and culture, and contributed zero to it, and played divisive politics to keep her self in power. Obviously, I can imagine where your loyalties are.
If Gautier had been a çhristian, you would have had no problem is hailing him, and singing praises of him. The white missionaries were right - give a poor dark-skinned heathen a bible, and he will remain loyal to the missionary till the end of his life. Your adulation and support for Sonia, and dislike for Gautier, is understandable.
