About the Book

[+] Enlarge Picture

In March 2001, the website Tehelka broke Operation West End, the biggest undercover news story in Indian journalism. Using spycams and masquerading as arms dealers, Tehelka’s reporters infiltrated the Indian government, bribed army officers, gave money to the president of the ruling party and the defence minister’s close colleague right in the defence minister’s residence. This eventually forced both the ministers’ resignations. In a rigorously researched and searing authentic account of the Tehelka exposé and its aftermath, Madhu Trehan does a best selling forensic study of the imperatives at the root of it, the characters and heroes and villians of the story, and of how the Indian system got back: by obfuscating, by attempting to destroy Tehelka and its investors. Trehan shows how the Indian government used instruments of democracy to destroy the investors without leaving any footprints. In the style of Rashomon, the best selling story is related by numerous participants of the same incidents and, of course, none of the stories tally.

With exhaustive personal interviews, this best selling non-fiction book is a must-read for anybody who wants to understand modern India – or even better, modern international journalism.
