About this product
Product Information
Editor, Times of India on ARUN SHOURIE and his work: '... on an endless ego trip ... he is highly self-righteous and aggressive-a Savonarola-like figure who does not mind setting fire to the city so that the "evil" in it is expurgated' ... Doesn't know the difference between persecution and exposure ... His work will lower the country's image abroad, and that will make it more difficult for the country to get the loans it desperately needs ... 'Such considerations cannot bother the crusader clad in his armour of self-righteousness ... He must destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah whatever the cost ... The haters of Mrs. Gandhi and the Nehru family will not mind a general to a colonel in power in New Delhi ...' And India Today on the name ARUN SHOURIE and the same work: 'It was the classic journalistic coup, swift, bold and utterly bloodless ... the lone, crusading figure sitting in his newspaper office, slowly but single-mindedly compiling evidence, cultivating sources and collecting clues before mounting the most savage scenario indicting public and political life in modern Indian times. Shourie's arguments ... were obviously so cogent that the presiding officer preferred to disregard the breath of privilege rather than pursue it and cause further embarrassment to the Government. Shourie emerged from the imbroglio, miraculously unscathed: he had not only rocked Parliament but for a moment numbed it to the point of paralysis: with both Houses rejecting breach of privilege motions against himself and Venkataraman, Shourie had with his victory ... Arun Shourie has the mentality of a flagrantly driven religious zealot among mildly self-opinionated priests. Among everyday cruisers he is a crusader extraordinary.' And on his dismissal from Indian Express: 'A tragic interruption of a career that has been like no other in the field. The deliberate silencing of a man who is not just another journalist, but the most devastating chronicler of our times ...' Book jacket.
