Asians at the Edinburgh Festival

The British sense of the word, "Asians" means what in Singapore means "south Asians". A picture of Rushdie of course, but the story also mentions Vid Mehta, Tariq Ali, Pavan Verma, Pankaj Mishra, Kamila Shamsie, and Suhayl Saadi. Tariq Ali was a major attraction last month in Sydney, and Suhayl will also be coming to Singapore end of August.
