India's Great Commentators

India's Great Commentators Today I read this fine analysis by Kuldip Nayar on what exactly went wrong with the secular policies of India. You can see the ripe maturity and a great understanding of India's psyche in the commentators of his generation that included Khushwant Singh, M.J. Akbar, M.V.Kamath, T.V.R.Shenoy, and Arun Shourie. You've Read their Columns, Now See their Portraits. I recently discovered some rare portraits of some of these commentators taken by my father. © K. L. Kamat Arun Shourie T.V.R. Shenoy M.V. Kamath Links T.V.R. Shenoy's Columns at Rediff M.V. Kamath's Columns at IndiaInfo.com Columns of Khushwant Singh at Hindustan Times An Interesting Anecdote Arun Shourie is currently serving as India's Minister for Disinvestment. The above picture of him was taken in Syracuse, where both him and father were doctoral students in 1965. Upon my father's death, I also found a note signed by Shourie that said "Kamatji, you still owe me a photograph!". I am not sure if father sent it to him, so I am going to.
