To remain in the limelight in a recent article by Sharmila Bose (Ananda Bazaar Patrika, August 3) she lampooned Hindu Gods. But it did not create a furor. Maybe it is the Hindu psyche of fatalism! If she had been a Moslem, she would have been lynched like they tried to do so to Nasreen in Bangaldesh and Salman Rushdie!
I am rminded of Disraeli:
"But what minutes! Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day."
Take Salman Rushdie, his novel features a complex series of adventures and dream material exploring issues of religious belief and of the interpretation of Islamic religious scriptures. What so blasphemous about that?
To quote Sharmila Bose or Salman Rushdie would be "a opinion" but not the gospel truth! Or would it?
If parodying Prophet Mohamet is the truth, the Bose is equally true!

Reality
Shamila Bose = Professor at George Washington University, USA, grand daughter of Subhash Chandra Bose, freedom fighter in India immortalized in the film, Bose - A forgotten hero, released this year.
Ray's reality
Sharmila Bose = A non entity whose biography is not on the net and yet trying very hard with controversies galore to be in the limelight.
Well that settles it. Since her biography is not on the net, all she is an attention seeker, PERIOD!
The bit you quote about Sharmila Bose saying this and really made me burst out laughing
She's not a young woman. She's a professor, and i cant find the story on the net, which even in the unlikely event it were true and not a case of mistaken identity or just someone making it up, does not negate any of her investigation. All i can find is this
Yes, so because Bibhuti said it i guess it's true
. This sounds like the beginnings of a smear compaign. August 3rd this year, well after her preliminary findings came out. What a joke.
