I gave it an adamant keep and added some cited content for what it's worth. One of the great characters in all fiction. Of course this tragic struggle to keep Saleem Sinai in one piece and in a place of his own is reminiscent of his life history. Even in the internet age, he struggles for a stable homeland.
