By Rajdeep SardesaiJournalists are often accused of demanding accountability of others but rarely turning the searchlight within.

By Rajdeep Sardesai“Abki Baar Trump Sarkar,” was prime minister Narendra Modi’s rather effusive chant in September 2019 at an event in Texas where he warmly embraced and appeared to endorse US president Donald Trump. Few months later in February 2020, Modi and Trump were engaged in another hug-fest, this time at a massive ‘Namaste Trump’ gathering in Ahmedabad.

Inside India’s most polarised political battle

Dec 4, 2024 | thestatesman.com | Rajdeep Sardesai

Rajdeep Sardesai’s book is a convincing analysis of the national election in India this year, replete with relevant interviews and penetrating comment rising above the heat and dust and unrestrained, often vulgar, rhetoric of the contestants for parliamentary office and far more often than not, the spoils thereof. Sardesai reviews the process of elections themselves, and their overview and monitoring, apart from the outcome which is known to every reader.

Nov 27, 2024 | livemint.com | Rajdeep Sardesai

Shinde, in his white long-sleeved shirt and matching trousers, was a dominant figure in Thane, a sprawling district near Mumbai.

And yet, Shah was much more than his senior leader’s factotum. Two anecdotes reveal the pugnacious style the younger partner in this long-standing equation has. The first came from an associate during Shah’s days as a student politician in the RSS’s Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) arm in Ahmedabad. In a college election, Shah was the ABVP candidate, pitted against a traditional rival, the Congress’s National Students’ Union of India (NSUI).

Breaking now: Pakistan violates ceasefire in some sectors with artillery firing. Who is in charge: Pak PM and his govt in Islamabad or Rawalpindi GHQ? Can one trust the Pakistani army state to keep to any commitment?
