University Distinguished Professor Salman Rushdie participated in a class discussion of "The Moor's Last Sigh" led by Associate Professor of English Deepika Bahri with undergraduate students at Emory University on March 7, 2012. Here he discusses fellow novelist and friend Nurruddin Farah, a Somali writer who was forced to flee Somalia in 1963. Like Rushdie, Farah spent years writing novels set in his homeland while in exile.

The interdisciplinary course, "India Today: Economics, Politics, Innovation, and Sustainability," is supported by The Halle Institute for Global Learning (www.halleinstitute.emory.edu).
