Letters On India The New York Times Did Not Publish

Letters on India The New York Times Did Not Publish is a collection of letters the author sent to the paper over three decades. The letters were sent whenever he spotted errors and erroneous assumptions in news articles, editorials, and opinion pieces in the paper.

Very often, personal opinions of writers get accepted as facts, especially by readers who have no expertise in the subjects opined upon. Readers get proper perspectives on those subjects only when they are presented with contrary or variant opinions. Every letter published in this book expresses an opinion that is at variance with what appeared in The Times. Some of them also point out factual errors. In bringing out the book, the author has done a great service to the newspaper-reading public in general and The New York Times readers in particular.
