A View From the Raisina Hill

A View from the Raisina Hill is a compendium of select writings by senior journalist P.P. Balachandran. A Delhi-based journalist for most of the last 40 years, Bala has been witness, all these years, to great many events that impacted Indian democracy, in particular, and the sub-continent's geopolitics in general. Most of the writings in this collection happened since the nineties when he transformed himself from being a subbing and reporting journalist to an editorializing journalist in other words, from an active journalist that he loved being forever to an arm-chair journalist that he loathed to be.
