    Pankaj drastically changed my life with this one article about new book of Niall Ferguson. His idea that the subcontinent suffered because of Britain and it's policies had not been so clearly addressed before. I was pro western ideology all my life and felt the same disorientation he talks about, until I read the article and then adopted my own eastern roots. I am indebted. Massive respect to you sir. From Pakistan.

    His new book AGE OF ANGER, is kickass... As in terms of getting to know the rise of the Right, failure of the Left, and that
    there is no difference between the two sides - who both serve late capitalism.
