If living history needs honest depiction of time by alert journalists, this book is certainly a speaking contribution to fulfill that need. As objects of his animadversion, eminent journalist Subhas Chandra Pattanayak has included a wide range - from political power-holders to cultural luminaries. His determination to help people know what they are not able to, in matters of management of their motherland - and to expose the wrong which the dominant history has done to Orissa, has given birth to the articles compiled in this book.
Received with critical acclaim and high praise, these editorial articles are randomly picked up from well over a thousand, authored by Mr Pattanayak
and published in orissamatters.com, which he founded in 1999 and continues to maintain as a unique sentinel of Orissa.
