"The Good Guys Don't Always Win": Salman Rushdie On Israel-Gaza, India, Panchatantra & Freedom

"Salman Rushdie's German Peace Prize 2023 Acceptance Speech Courtesy - Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels Salman Rushdie, the British-Indian writer, was awarded the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade in Frankfurt's historic St Paul's Church in October 2023. The prestigious German Peace Prize, accompanied by a €25,000 ($27,300) payment, has been a significant honour in Germany since its inception in 1950. In a commendatory speech, Rushdie's friend and fellow writer, Daniel Kehlmann, lauded him as "possibly the most important defender of freedom of art and speech of our time." Despite surviving a stabbing attack last year, Rushdie expressed his commitment to continuing the defence of freedom of speech." from video introduction
