Its a surprise that I had never heard of Lawrence Anthony given that both Krishnan and I love animals and have always believed that some of the animals are far … Read more
I am a fan of Dr. Subramanian Swamy … I feel he should be awarded the Bharat Ratna for sticking to the truth and showing the mirror to many larger than life “dirty” politicians. His wife Roxna Swamy has written the book so yes, its a biased version, but the bias is well founded in … Read more
