[Reader-list] Arundhati roy has become a joke: Guha

[V Ramaswamy]

Talking about rickshaw-wallahs ... in early 2005, Gunter Grass was in
Kolkata, invited by the Goethe Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan. One of the
programmes of his visit was a launch cruise on the Hooghly, stopping at
Serampore, and visiting the Serampore College. Cycle-rickshaws had to be
taken from the river-jetty at Serampore to the college. The puller of the
rickshaw which Grass took, asked if this was'nt Gunter Grass. He said he had
seen his picture and read about him in the newspaper.
