I wish to reproduce here a section of the article titled
"Citizens Jain" by Ken Auletta appeared in New Yorker (8th October
2012 issue).
I will not dwell here about the persons who are distributing news
(or advertisement) but leave it to the readers to be aware:
"Samir Jain is fifty-eight,
but he looks older, his once stark-black hair now gray. He follows a strict
vegetarian diet and has a slim frame and face; his clothes tend toward the
baggy, his buttoned shirt collars loose. He often speaks in parables. Namita
Gokhale, a well-connected novelist who co-directs the Jaipur Literature
Festival, once sat next to Jain at a dinner. Jain told Gokhale, “I think
history doesn’t exist, and if I were Prime Minister I would ban the study of
history.” Gokhale devilishly responded, “What I’ll do is give you two tight
slaps and a kick, and if you can’t remember it I’ll agree there’s no history!”
Jain politely smiled, turned away, and ignored her the rest of the
evening."
Samir Jain – Owner of Bennett, Coleman
& Company Ltd. Group which has Times of India, Times Now etc.
