Reviews

Breaking Free of Nehru has been reviewed in the media as well as by significant blogs, such as:

There have also been a number of informal comments by various people in the public domain (e.g. here). A number of 5-star reviews were written at Google Books, but Google Books has an extremely defective database system and it has lost all these reviews.

Oxford Bookstores bestseller
The book was apparently a best-seller for a while. In January and February 2009, The Statesman reported thus:  Jan. 2009 (11, 18 25) and Feb. 2009 (1). The Statesman has not updated book sales since then, so further information is not available. It is gathered from the publisher, though, that the first print run has almost entirely sold out.  

 

 

REVIEWS THAT WERE COMMITTED BUT DID NOT HAPPEN

Below is a list of eminent people who were sent a FREE copy of the book by the publisher upon their COMMITTING in WRITING to review the book, but who did nothing of that sort! 

  • Dr Ved Pratap Vaidik.  He wrote on 12 March 2008: "I would like to review the book by Shri Sanjivji". Did nothing of that sort after receiving the free copy, and after repeated reminders.
  • Dr Bindu Puri. She wrote on 7 February 2008: "I  will certainly review the book for you and get it published in a journal or in the print media."
  • Dr P.V. Indiresan. On 4 February 2008, said "I will try [to review the book]" and gave the address for sending the book.
  • Sharad Joshi. He wrote on 7 February 2008: "I shall be happy to try and review your work."
  • Rasheeda Bhagat. She wrote on 5 February 2008: "I'll get it reviewed."
  • Sheela Reddy . She wrote on 5 May 2008:  "send us the book once it's out and we'll be happy to consider it for review".

In addition, there is Najma Sadeque. I sent her a copy all the way to Pakistan at considerable personal expense after repeated commitments from her that she would review the book. Did not. Clearly, the moral standards of many intellectuals leave much to be desired.

But let us leave these people alone to their petty lies and move on. If the message in this book is valuable, then no one will be able to prevent its spread despite their best efforts.
