MUMBAI: In this week’s episode of Virtuosity, Vir Sanghvi will be seen talking to Sanjaya Baru, a veteran journalist and media advisor to former prime minister Manmohan Singh from 2004 to 2008.
The episode will air on 12 November at 10 pm with a repeat at 10:30 am and 7:30 pm on Sunday.
On the show, he talks in-length about his new book and rejects all accusations that have been built around Vinay Sitapati’s biography on Narasimha Rao, alleging that there has been a systematic attempt in Lutyens’ Delhi to constantly talk about Chandraswamy, Harshad Mehta and communalism to erase and undermine the legacy of PV Narsimha Rao. He added that history will be kinder to Rao.
A national bestselling author of his book The Accidental Prime Minister, he has recently released his new book 1991 How PV Narasimha Rao Made History to mark the 25 anniversary of liberalization of the Indian economy.
The weekend show features a big news story and provides added context, insight and nuance that may not be immediately discernible. The show will have Sanghvi, in his inimitable style, break down the story being featured and make it relevant and relatable for the viewers. He will present the facts, make use of history, use a lifetime of his personal experiences to break through the clutter and bring forth the key aspects of the story.
