I wouldn't put it past him... But in searching I didn't turn up any Indian links with his commentary. Is that Tehran Times credible? I did find this more nuanced view of what Indians think of Noam in this book review from early this year hindustantimes.com The great problem of Chomsky is precisely what appeals to his admirers: the simplicity of his arguments, bordering on the simplistic. There are few nuances, only some shades of grey, in Chomsky’s black and white landscape of American foreign policy. At the high point of the anti-Vietnam war protests, and even during the cold war, Chomsky’s views were fresh, idealistic and appealing even to academics in the Third World. But in an age where the realpolitik of national interest has overtaken even India’s foreign policy, Chomsky seems a bit out of date, even passé, and his writings no longer arouse the same intense passion that he did when international politics, at least in the developing world, had still not lost its innocence.
