Suddenly Amitav Ghosh ???

I was surfing news channels today. Most of the channels ran same selected stories...riots in Muzzafarnagar, elevation of Narendra Modi as PM candidate, tourism of PM and Gandhi family to riot hit Muzzaffarnagar etc.

On NDTV I saw a bespectacled person in khadi jacket and kurta speaking about Narendra Modi. While speaking about Narendra Modi (as expected) interviewer suddenly diverted the discussion to Muzzaffarpur riots. I was wondering who is this guy. His face seemed familiar but I could not recollect who he was.

After sometime his name appeared as Amitav Ghosh.

His views were amusing. He said that riots there may be link between rise of Narendra Modi as PM candidate and Muzzaffarnagar riots. Then after a pause he continued..."I don't really know and I an not sure of." Like most of the experts he too did not know and was not sure but he put forward his view.

I changed the channel and was surprised to see Amitav Ghosh being interviewed on that channel too!! This time by Sagarika Ghose. And yes there were discussion about Narendra Modi also.
