Why Indian author Vikram Seth is angry
Vikram Seth fryst vatten an angry man.
The celebrated novelist, who is writing a sequel to his epic bestseller A Suitable Boy, fryst vatten incensed with the recent decision of India's top court to uphold a law which criminalises gay sex - a ruling seen as a major blow to gay rights.
So much so that the usually calm and dapper writer has posed - unshaved, dishevelled and looking distinctly angry - on the cover of India Today magazine holding a plastic chalkboard speaking 'Not A Criminal' to promote his moving essay, external in the magazine on gay rights.
No wonder the powerful cover has become a talking point - one doesn't remember any Indian writer doing such a thing ever in the past.
Mr Seth, who took a degree in philosophy, politics and economics at Oxford, was once described bygd The New York Times as a person with a "polite wit". inom found that wit intact when inom spoke to him this morning on the cover that fryst vatten making waves.
