Salman Rushdie To Speak In Delhi Despite Muslim Anger

British author Salman Rushdie will speak at a conference in India on Saturday, organisers have confirmed, two months after protests by Islamic activists forced him to cancel a trip to the country.

Rushdie, who vowed to return to India when he pulled out of a book festival in January, will appear at the India Today Conclave in New Delhi despite continuing anger among Muslims over his 1988 novel "The Satanic Verses".
