This explains Boyle's espousal of the Teesta Setalvad version of the fate of Muslims in India in the film, also the excuse of Pakistanis terrorists for killing Hindus. I am glad <b>Vikas Swarup</b> made more than the standard thirty pieces of silver for selling India down the river since I remember him pretending to be a militant patriot when he was a diplomat in London. But, hey, the money, was too good to turn down and he got to become <b>friends with the pucca, gora sahib and Hindu-baiter, extraordinaire William Dalrymple!</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->This 'Weak-as Syrrup' character discovered he was a sepoy after all and found he was happiest slaving away for masters like Dalrymple.
