[edit] Anti-Everything
The following text was found on the main page inserted by the user 129.15.93.82
I would have to point out that both terms --"Anti-Americanism" and "Anti-Israel"-- as used by the author above are terms of propaganda and not a terms of description. Tariq Ali's concerns are well expressed in his non-fiction: They are critical of American policies in the Middle East, this position is not synonymous with "Anti-American" or "Anti-Israel".

- Just an FYI for everyone: neither of these terms are included in the current text. --(Mingus ah um 19:30, 12 April 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Brown Sahib
"brown sahib" needs an explanation. Pjacobi 14:09, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- The term has been linked. --(Mingus ah um 19:30, 12 April 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Education
what did he study at uni? what degree/s does he have?
- Now, that's a good question. Here's a start:
-
- "Tariq was born in Lahore, now in Pakistan, then part of British-ruled India, in 1943. A Catholic school education did nothing to shake his life-long atheism, which he shared with his communist parents."
- "Later, while studying at Government College, part of Punjab University, Tariq Ali was elected President of the Young Students' Union. He organised public demonstrations against Pakistan's military dictatorship and was banned from participating in student politics."

[edit] Bibliography
There is a reasonable list of works on http://www.contemporarywriters.com/authors/?p=auth164#bibliography does anyone know where to get ISBN numbers?
- Amazon and other online sellers include them on the book's page.Philip Cross 11:52, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] POV
This article is definately POV. Could someone maybe edit it? I mean, keep the information, but it's wording is overtly point of view. Эйрон Кинни (t) 23:00, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- Can please point out, which POV shows where? --Pjacobi 23:09, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Historian
Do we have reliable sources who call him a historian (i.e. not his own publishers or website, but a mainstream literary journal, academic journal, or newspaper that has reviewed his work)? SlimVirgin (talk) 19:43, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Seeing no response in 4 months, and based on his studies and the biography at http://www.contemporarywriters.com/authors/?p=auth164#bibliography it looks to me like it is appropriate to remove that attribution of "historian". If someone wants to add it back as "self-claimed historian" or the like, that would make more sense. --NealMcB 22:46, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
