Smruti Sarangi

Product of a Google Search

Commenté en Inde le 14 décembre 2021

When I bought this book I had high hopes. I thought it will be a work of scholarship and new insights/revelations will be made. Mr. Aakar Patel (the author) is a very well read and articulate person. However, this book was not able to go beyond the usual dump of Google search results.

Essentially, in the book, the author has simply done Google search after search (or something equivalent) and simply quoted articles presented in the press: mainstream and alternative. Needless to say some cherry picking of articles has been done. However, the book reeks of banality and simply reads as a collection of articles written on Mr. Modi, which are of questionable veracity. We have all heard tons of conspiracy theories -- however, writing them down without the weight of evidence and scholarship is a different matter. For a foreigner or somebody who is interested in current affairs in India yet has never watched the news will find some of the content new. However, for most people who are tuned in to TV, Twitter and print news, these are all old stories -- we have all heard many versions of them, and nobody is in a position to judge what is true and what is not. These are transformative times in a relatively young yet old nation and a work of scholarship with rigorous analysis and first-person interviews could have been produced. What we instead get is a collection of gossip. It reads more like a tabloid than a serious book. There are no unique insights, no original research, no interviews, and no new information (even citing unknown sources or friends of XYZ).

This is a worrying trend; even other books in this genre are of a very similar type where the authors simply writes a book on current affairs or military intelligence by Googling. Unless real authors collect real stories and provide unique scholarly insights, such books will never interest a discerning reader.

I just finished reading the book by Aakar Patel.He has given his views on various aspects of governance in India including the management of the Economy,National Security, Foreign policy, the changes in the law including the farm laws, CAA and NRC.
He has given a long reference check at the end of every chapter to support his views.
I found the book revealing on mattters of interest,

Reality check for India

Commenté en Inde le 18 décembre 2021

A very well written book that uses data from the Indian govt and it's departments as well as credible foreign sources. It thankfully does not rely on the usual chest thumping zero substance jingoism but places forth facts in the form of data published by the Modi govt over the last 7 years. The book could have been crisper but overall a Good read.

A book much needed to know where India is and how we reached here

Commenté en Inde le 19 avril 2022

It is a must read book especially in the times like these as the mainstream media be it newspapers or news channels do not show the real state of affairs in India to the educated public. Many important issues have been picked up in the book since 2014 that has been suppressed by media. But why media is suppressing the true state of India, be it in economics or political affairs? The book explores the reason for a loop sided Godi media that has come up today. Its has facts which are obvious but arranged in such a logical and reasonable manner that it leads to irrefutable conclusion of semi blind media and how media works as attention shifters from important national news to irrelevant and banal stuffs.
The book is backed by solid facts and whether you belong to any political party or ideology Its a must read book to catch up with the the real news and facts of India which are conveniently not talked about even by the opposition parties.
I implore every Indian to read to know where our nation is going and even though we may not stop it individually, but atleast we know how and why we have come to a situation like this where inflation is at its highest and no one asks the question of liberty and freedom rights of the citizens.

Modi’s style of Governance

A well written book with vast amount of data collated from disparate sources. I completely agree that Hindutava has nothing to offer to the country except destruction.

Excellent account of the Modi Regime.

A detailed account showing the heavy price the country has already paid for lack luster policies of his rule.
The book is well argued and based on palpable facts, that show the Disastrous (NO) Economic Policies and increased polarization and destruction of Democratic Institutions.

Shocking revelations.

Commenté en Inde le 31 janvier 2022

Analytical and insightful no doubt. But history is a strange mistress with surprises galore. Modi might be the harbinger of an indian revolution leading to good days but much beyond his own times. This country had reached a point where the system has had to be shaken up. And this process cannot always be smoother and peaceful. The jury is still out.

Someone had to say it and Akar Patel has done it. Beautiful simple language describes the degeneration of systems and thoughts in our country. A must read
