Anything goes with the kind of 'cultural'(read apolitical) intellectualism here which doesn't move beyond the borders of the Parrish! I hear that Sukumar Azhikkode has chastised CR Neelakantan for 'asking it' by his inappropriate speech( read just saying things which will not be liked by people who really matter) . 'Fears of Intellectual Jehad' aside, I was taken aback by seeing the name of the person who wrote the Forward for a book to be released today at Kannur. It was the fourth in a series of books being published under Kerala Muslim History Series Books by the publishers , and the book was titled Pracheena Malabar. On a receiving a message from a friend, I instantly shot these words as a quick response:- Shame on the publishers that they needed the introduction to be written by no lesser person whose scholarly wisdom was available to the demolishers of the Babri Masjid as well! My message was promptly transmitted by my friend to the publisher. I will appreciate it very much if the friends here could tell me of the propriety or otherwise of my "intolerant " response! Thanks, Venu.
