While Rao's tone and tenor are not meant for the feeble at heart, his bold and bewildering insights into issues of national and international importance have intrigued readers of every hue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book collects his writing on several subjects, among them political economy, art, literature, culture, international finance, foreign policy, terrorism and obituary. Often, his political positions have been polemical, such as his support for the Bush position in international affairs backed by The Indian Express, and for the National Rural Employment Programme, which succeeded in upsetting his free-market-believing friends.

Such crosses are cheerfully borne!'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-id=\"6ovy9p-cg90w3-xp5wuy-tk0ubl\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"edpIngress_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"edpIngress\" data-csa-c-id=\"wnz6j0-9bi3r1-x0w2tj-ribtsm\" data-cel-widget=\"edpIngress_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"richProductInformation_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"richProductInformation\" data-csa-c-id=\"b36vl3-2c2u7a-h3gi05-n7povm\" data-cel-widget=\"richProductInformation_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"rich_product_information\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"t11b78-fjnsop-7l9roo-4jal45\" data-cel-widget=\"rich_product_information\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Best of used books","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":43881599172865,"sku":"2Q1LAQ9KX-Used","price":150.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/4299\/0495\/products\/NotesFromAnIndianConservative.jpg?v=1652879400","url":"https:\/\/bestofusedbooks.com\/products\/notes-from-an-indian-conservative","provider":"Best Of Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
