He is Indian and that means he is from a place in India that may not be to your liking! But keep the comments fair, will you?

Kerala-born yea. Perhaps they mean he was born in Kerala to some alien father and mother? How on earth come Keralites go on top of the list? Impossible!

There is something called Human Development index (HDI), and there u will find Kerala on top of the Indian States. You check where u are and i am sure tht ur state is at the bottom...coz when u r not developed as a Human being, so why to expect it from u??????

Well, do u think Arundhati Roy, who is another Keralite who won the Booker Prize is also an alien. Grow up man...i think u have not gone to a school and grew up to read and write by distance education.

Take it easy. My aim was just to mock at the reporter. I know very well that he is the son of TJS George.
