Midnight's Children Festival Events: "A Dialogue with Edward Said"

[@ramdularsingh1435]

A brilliant discussion between the two great minds ! It's worth watching and enjoying. I came to love it and still feel like repeating the same.

[@Altruismisreal27]

Edward Said is a genius.

[@mohamadkebbewar6827]

Definitely very charming and talented.

More or less

Midnight's Children is no doubt an epic classic of the last century !: All you have to do is to read the novel with a little knowledge of the Indian subcontinent to get convinced. It's a story of roughly 60 years of Indian history. The language is like a gifted genius and many other things to love the work.....

What! Only three comments, don't Arabs follow one if their greatest intellectual. When he says that we will have to define what is fundamental attitude he is correct,because now there is a fundamental government in a democracy in U.S itself, and also a fundamental government in India, who is on a spree of searching for its roots ,because it hasn't still found it, and as long it doesn't become a all inclusive secular govt not antithetical to Darwinism, it shall never know its source of origin.

Hi. Let me introduce you to a simple fact: ARABS SPEAK ARABIC! you orientalist.

[@anuradhainamdar8967]

@@Al3arabibelad I am a master in English literature, and with me there were many Arabs in Nagpur University, India. They gave examination in English and were quite well conversed in English. And this 1989- 91. So it's possible you are still ensconced in your small little world. Also Arabic is one of the recognised languages in the UN.This is so that the Arabic world should make it a point to be able to learn both their language as well as English.

@@Al3arabibelad Another point I still have yo read Edward Said non- fiction " Orientalism and Occidentalism" ,you also are a Oriental.Sir Rudyard Kipling could have said " the east is east and the west is west ,and the twain shall never meet" you are sorly mistaken . Also the Persian gave India it's name "Hindustan" but Dr. Shashi Tharoor says that the Arabs were so impressed by India that it gave it a Arabic name " al Hind" and many Arabs called their daughters al- hind because of India 's beauty. ( Read his Pax Indica ". Ha,ha,ha. As for modern history during 2 world war it was General Bernard Montgomery,who won the final victory over the desert fox General Rommel of Germany at al - Alamein. Also before that it was a British liaison officer T.E. Lawrence who really appreciated the Arabs.Look up Google to find who he was ,his books, and biographies on him. The wonderful movie " Lawrence of Arabia " was made in Hollywood itself. It is politics that is interfering in humanity.

[@anuradhainamdar8967]

@@Al3arabibelad Forgot to mention that in " Lawrence of Arabia " king Faisal is played by Omar Sharif ha,ha,ha, and T.E. Lawrence by Alec McGuinness

[@anuradhainamdar8967]

@@Al3arabibelad The rainy season in India which lasts for four months are called " Monsoon" and Mr Omar Monsoon word is derived from the Arabic word " Mausim", there are many Arabic which have been anglicised and used by British in India and its other colonies. The Arabian sea is so called because Arabian sailors and traders used to trade with the Indian subcontinent and further eastern countries by keeping a check on the trade winds that flow over the Arabian sea. Similarly the huge water body that covers the Indian subcontinent, Sri Lanka, Indonesia,Singapore, Malaysia is called Indian Ocean.
