Emergency Bonanza Delhi's cocktail circuit is now divided into two groups: those who have written books on the Emergency and those who haven't. Heading the list of these authors is Kuldip Nayar whose The Judgement sold over 50,000 copies. G.S. Bhargava, The Hindustan Times' Assistant Editor came out with "Indira's India Gate" which was just a rehash of news stories. V.K. Narasimhan of The Indian Express wrote a "quickie" while the former editor of The Times of India D.R.Mankekar and his wife also piled in with their The Decline and Fall of Indira Gandhi, a book that was "written in five weeks" and could be read and shelved in two hours.The cake, however, went to the The Two faces of Indira Gandhi which could well have applied to most of these authors as they had been ardent supporters of the Emergency.Published By: AtMigration Published On: Jul 16, 2007--- ENDS ---
