Here is something about Pankaj Mishra.



From the current [url="http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?279166"]Outlook Bibliofile Gossip column[/url]

Pankaj Mishra has put himself on the firing line before with his reviews—remember Salman Rushdie, and more recently, Patrick French, who reacted to his review in Outlook of his India: A Portrait by pointing out how the Allahabad boy has climbed to his “present position at the heart of the British establishment, married to the cousin of the Prime Minister, David Cameron”

[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pankaj_Mishra"]Wiki[/url] says that

He is married to Mary Mount, a cousin of British Prime Minister David Cameron and he divides his time between Delhi, Shimla and London.[8] His father-in-law is Sir William Robert Ferdinand Mount, 3rd Baronet, and Eton-educated Conservative Party politician and former head of Margaret Thatcher's policy unit.

Looks like he has travelled quite far.
