Works edit

Fiction edit

Anil Ramdas published his autobiographical novel Badal in February 2011. In the article "A Matter of Identity: Anil Ramdas and His Autobiographical Novel Badal", Kees Snoek writes :

The novel Badal explores the evolution of the main character against the background of the confrontation between western and non-western civilisation. One of the examples Badal uses to make his point is Christopher Columbus: when during his journey into the unknown the supplies aboard his ship diminish, he has to make a decision: to turn back or to continue with his exploration. He decides to go on. It is the point of no return.[7]

Death edit

Ramdas committed suicide on 16 February 2012.[8] Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte expressed his regret about Ramdas' death in his weekly press conference.[9][10]
