Paranjoy Thakurta - A Lifestory
Fearless Journalist, Editor: Unearthing Truth, Challenging Power, Always Questioning
A wellknown Indian writer, editor, and speaker is known for looking into things without fear and knowing a lot about money and politics. For more than 40 years, he has worked hard to find the truth, even when it is hard. He is like the main person in a movie about politics, always searching for the truth like someone in "All the President's Men," but focused on what is happening in India. From the start, he was good at finding important stories. He was in charge of writing at big newspapers and websites, like the Economic and Political Weekly and the Business and Political Economy website. People he works with say he is careful, smart, and always does what is right. Someone said that he can easily see how different things are connected, so he can explain what is happening in the world well. He often looks into things like when companies do bad things, when politicians are dishonest, and how the world economy affects India. Like the team in "Spotlight," he puts together proof to show when someone is doing wrong. Whether he is talking about the 2G scam or how the 2008 crash affected Indian companies, he gives good advice that helps people understand and think about things. He has helped Indian news a lot and is an important voice in the country.
