Just heard a shocking news that Radhakrishna Pillai (Corporate Chanakya fame) passed away following sudden cardiac arrest. He was such a gentle soul. I will miss him. May he travel onwards to a better life.

The British created the divide between history & mythology. They argued history is truth & mythology is falsehood. But today, we see how history is contested. Those who hate Nehru see history very differently from those who hate Savarkar. Read more ... mid-day.com//news/opinion/…
