Hamid balances this well, but it's worth acknowledging that the question of stereotyping is influenced by the fact of fiction in a way that it isn't in real life. This increased his dissidence. Changez is our only source of information here, using language to convey movement and emotion ("Your disgust is evident; indeed, your large hand has, perhaps without your noticing, clenched into a fist"). When I first read 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist', I expected someone with the personality of Maajid Nawaz but then, as aforementioned, Changez was altogether different.
He turns on the television. Attention must be paid — so it's a pity that at the end, in a departure from Hamid's enigmatic restraint, The Reluctant Fundamentalist collapses in a heap of wool-gathering humanism that feels warm to the touch, yet fatally hedges its political bets. Just like Changez, his love story is flawed from the very start. It is, perhaps, easier to follow a positive assertion, no matter how subtle or weak, than to reject it and accept an absence of information – it goes against the nature of reading, where the reader is trying to pick a text apart. When Changez saw the art project, he yelled at her, telling her to stop getting involved in his culture and background.

Why does Changez adopt the rabid path that he does? Jean-Bautista is also a nod to a character in Albert Camus's The Fall, a novel which Hamid described as being "formally helpful" when writing The Reluctant Fundamentalist. "We put our begging bowl out to other countries … and after a while, we start to despise ourselves for it, " he says, and the resentment there—of needing something, and hating the person denying you of it for making you need it in the first place—is simmering just under the surface of The Reluctant Fundamentalist. The message Nair focuses on is the danger of jumping to conclusions in pitched situations. There is not any shooting.
