I think dinesh's name has appeared on this list earlier in a different context. that he is a conservative and anti-immigrant is well-known. he earned his reputation for himself being an immigrant who has attacked "affirmative action." I have read his two books and many articles. I also think I pointed out here that to the best of my knowledge Dinesh is an "east indian". Someone in Canada told me she knew him as a child in Bandra, as both families were from the same area. However, let me add that calling for his ethnic background has nothing to do with my post here, just to ask for clarification whether he is on Goan origin. I have no problems discussing his politics. In fact, just some days ago I found a pro and con article with different views from Antara Dev Sen and Dinesh D'Souza. Here's some background on Antara Antara Dev Sen is the founder and editor of The Little Magazine, published in Delhi and featuring essays, fiction, poetry, art and criticism. She was senior editor at the Hindustan Times and a fellow at the Reuters Foundation in Oxford, England.
Antara Dev Sen wrote a Red Cross report on Angola, which involved travelling through rebel territory, and is advisor of Word Without Borders. She also authored India the Eternal Magic (2000) She has written diversely for openDemocracy, contributing to the Letters to America series, on the May 2004 Indian elections and India's reaction to the December 2004 tsunami.
