Enjoyed speaking to barkha dutt around my book #TheConscienceNetwork. We discussed #IndiraGandhi’s 11 unbroken years in office from 1966-1977 and Modi’s 11 from 2014-2025. Love the way Barkha builds up an argument and expands the discussion. Mojo Story youtube.com/live/fm1_Eh94B…


#OPINION | Vice presidents have openly spoken their mind in the past, too. But as a constitutional figurehead, Jagdeep Dhankhar’s regular contributions to political chatter crossed a line, writes Sugata Srinivasaraju. santwanabhattacharya newindianexpress.com/opinions/2025/…

My The New Indian Express column, today: “Dhankhar waded unprovoked into the issue of the basic structure doctrine. He argued for the supremacy of parliament, and said its amending powers could not be curtailed. He almost sounded like Indira Gandhi during the Emergency.”


Finest explanation by Sugata Srinivasaraju regarding Jagdeep Dhankar's grandiose delusions.

Pictures from last evening’s Press Club of India event where I was in conversation with Mahtab महताब مہتاب on #TheConscienceNetwork

Attended a softly flowing conversation between Sugata Srinivasaraju and Mahtab महताब مہتاب at Press Club of India and got Sugata Srinivasaraju to sign my copy of #TheConscienceNetwork.


The 1970s were a decade when to dream was treason. India's Gandhian innocence was finally stripped from her body politic. Sugata Srinivasaraju's #TheConscienceNetwork, a much better book, is less about Indira's Machiavellian politics and more a chronicle of the carriers of that innocence




“The book is meticulously researched, nuanced and written with restrained elegance… For anyone who wants to understand the issues of democracy and dictatorship in India, this is a seminal book.” A heartwarming review of #TheConscienceNetwork in Business Standard by Aditi Phadnis.
