About this listen

 Sir Mark Tully was the BBC’s Foreign Correspondent in India from 1972 to 1994. He has become familiar to listeners around the world for his incisive and thought-provoking reports. On this special recording, he looks back at a career that coincided with a remarkable period in Indian history. As well as the assassination of two Indian Prime Ministers - Indira Gandhi and her son Rajiv - Mark Tully reported the storming of the Sikh Golden Temple, the horrific aftermath of the Bhopal gas disaster, and the conflict between the Hindus and the Muslims after the demolition of a mosque at Ayodhya.© and (P)1997, 2007 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Asia Entertainment & Performing Arts India Social Sciences South Asia

For me as an Indian who was a witness to all events and individuals chronicled in this book, to get interested was difficult. The only reason I took this title was the name Mark Tully - and yet again he didn't fail. A very well presented and very well chronicled, Mark really presents the true happenings as they happened. He did no allow his personal thought processes to adulterate his reporting. In today's world where finding a truly independent journalist is a rarity, Mark is a textbook for students of journalism as what they should be like. Though I cant say the same for BBC - his employer (if I say so) but Mark acquits himself with a great aplomb.

The events and their sound recordings were excellent not marred by the decay of years. His interviews most of which were repeats for me as I had heard them when they were broadcasted, still held a significance.

Enjoyed thoroughly!
