失落事业专员

阿伦·舒里和他的同事们所做的工作震撼了机构和政府：释放了4万名未审判者；揭露巴加尔普尔的眼罩；购买卡姆拉；驱逐“苏丹”；挫败“罢工”；有争议的法官；与特权动议作斗争；以藐视法庭罪起诉；钉住腐败、伪造、谎言和统治者的机会主义；揭露被压制的报道。。。这些背后隐藏着什么，以及随之而来的后果？
对戏剧性事件的全面描述，比如让政府吞并针对媒体的立法、罢免首席部长、一位总理在罢免他的策略被挫败的情况下脱身、一位副总理试图用伪造的文件驱逐同事、人民运动最终成为沙中的溪流，失败事业专员讨论了舒里的投球、对他的诽谤、他的解雇，以及他再次被召回和撤职。
从贵族到色彩斑斓，从短视到直言不讳：从JP到总统，到首相，副首相，首席部长，骗子，愤怒的编辑，当然还有一位伟大的战士，新闻大亨，在这篇诚实地复述作家阿伦·舒里一生的故事中，前编辑和部长，被誉为50位“世界新闻自由英雄”之一。
The Commissioner For Lost Causes
The work done by Arun Shourie and his colleagues rocked institutions and governments: the freeing of 40,000 undertrials; revealing the Bhagalpur blindings; purchasing Kamla; dislodging a ‘Sultan’; foiling ‘strikes’; controverting Judges; battling privilege motions; courting contempt of court charges; nailing corruption, forgeries, lies, and the opportunism of rulers; uncovering suppressed reports… What lay behind these and the consequences that followed?
A comprehensive account of dramatic incidents like getting governments to swallow legislation against the press, unseating of chief ministers, a prime minister unspooling himself even as manoeuvres to unseat him are scotched, a deputy prime minister trying to dislodge colleagues with fabricated documents, people’s movements ending up as rivulets in the sand, The Commissioner for Lost Causes discusses Shourie’s innings, the calumny hurled at him, his dismissal, and his being recalled and removed again.
Delicious tales of characters from the noble to the colourful to the short-sighted to outright bounders: from JP, to a president, to prime ministers, a deputy prime minister, chief ministers, a conman, indignant editors, and of course a great warrior, the press baron, feature in this honest retelling of the life of Arun Shourie, the writer, former editor and minister who was acclaimed as one of the fifty ‘World Press Freedom Heroes’.
