Summary
"A wonderful memoir . . . richly insightful, and deeply moving." - Ramachandra Guha
"A fascinating and insightful read." - Vir Sanghvi
"Delightful... A wonderful read." - Pritish Nandy
Eminent journalist Pradeep Magazine's memoir is a story of lived, real experiences, of joy, sorrow, fear, loss, and hope, and about how an uprooted identity shapes one's attitude towards society and the nation. From the Kashmir of the 1950s to terror-stricken Punjab, from the Mandir-Masjid divide and the impact of Mandal politics to the tragic consequences of the Kashmir situation-Magazine paints a fascinating portrait of modern India.
At the core of the book are accounts of some of the most epochal events in India's cricketing history, woven around personal encounters with several well-known cricketers. The author lays bare the vicious machinations that are a staple diet of sports governance and reveals hitherto unknown facts about the frictions and ego clashes that are inevitable in a game that dominates India's sporting discourse.
Whether it is cricket that you're keen on, or India's troubled history, Not Just Cricket is a must-listen.
