Faraz Ahmad

Faraz Ahmad is a print journalist of long standing with vast experience of covering crime and politics for several Indian mainstream English dailies, starting with the Indian Express and having worked for The Pioneer, the Deccan Chronicle, the Asian Age and The Tribune of Chandigarh. Having been a crime reporter and a political correspondent covering Parliament, he has taken keen interest in the subaltern politics in India, ever since VP Singh accepted the Mandal Commission report granting reservations for the social and educationally backward communities in India. A Master of English Literature, the author is acerbic in his commentary and spares no one in his academic analysis of the Rajiv Gandhi assassination, neither the bureaucrat, nor the politician.
