British monarchy and Salman Rushdie

Recently in an interview to “The Sunday Times” Salman Rushdie who became infamous for some of his stupid and blasphemous writings termed the British Monarchy and its traditions as “stupid” and “archaic”. Surprisingly this frustrated and mentally depressed author Rushdie had accepted the British Knighthood to get himself decorated as “Sir Rushdie” thereby proving his stupidity and double standards!
Let the British monarchy continue to exist with its prestigious heritage and rich traditions.
