A super interview with V.S. Naipaul. Pay attention to the last question but don't jump to it straight away, let the rest build you up to it. Don't agree with him on Nehru though. Nehru is the root cause of the problems we face today. He gave the west and the communist too much credit and the people of India very little.
If someone like him thinks Hindutva is a correction in history and time already delayed long enough then by all means let the correction happen and we shall all carry it forward with joy.
Like all sane people he agrees that 'Akhand Bharat' would not be a practical solution.
Unlike most people he is aware the violence India was put through during the muslim occupation. He makes no bones about the savagery and destruction they inflicted and caused respectively.

I am a bit doubtful about the authenticity of this interview. Who conducted, when, and where? The blog on which it is posted seems a bit suspect too, but I am not too familiar with it.
