India: A Reckoning With History

by Sanjay Sood PhD

Dr Sanjay Sood is a theoretical physicist and a microchip design engineer. He did his PhD in electrical engineering from the university of North Carolina. He has been in the US since 1990 and in California for the last 25 years. He has been interested in Indian history since his childhood in New Delhi.

This is his first book. In it he has tried to provide a brief but vivid overview of some important events that proved to be turning points in the nation’s history and have had tremendous impact on Indian civilization over the last 2,500 years. His main purpose in writing this book is to understand the impact of these events on the development of Indian society through the centuries and what light they can shed on the current state of the society.

The relevant sections from the report are reproduced below. It is clear that

1. Rafi is nowhere mentioned.

2. The ban started on AIR on May 4 and Doordarshan on My 5, 1976.

3. Kishore wrote a letter dated June 14, in which he agreed to cooperate, but there is no mention of any apology. [I would love to see the actual letter.]

4. The ban must have been lifted in a few days after this letter.

4. When asked to freeze the sale of his records, Polydor did not commit to do anything, and HMV agreed only to stop recording solo items. As amply shown by KC Pingle, this half-hearted 'ban' was not very effective.

5. In his deposition to the Shah Commission, the Minister of Information and Broadcasting , VC Shukla, excused all his officers and took full blame of the regrettable episode.
