History
"You have to write a book by being honest to the reader", says Rajdeep Sardesai, calling his latest book the most ‘brutally frank’ of his three books. Unpack some of the journey and stories behind 2024, the Election that Surprised India on this episode of Harper Podcast, where host and former journalist Amrita Tripathi speaks to India’s best-known anchor and political journalist.
