My book’s protagonist quoting from my book on him. A rarest of rare privilege for an author. Former PM HD Deve Gowda reading from Negila Geregalu, the Kannada translation of his biography #FurrowsInAField, at the silver jubilee celebrations of his party, in Bangalore, today.
Congratulations to @rosydsouza, my wife and my translator, for winning the Karnataka Sahitya Akademi’s translation prize. She is a splendid professional, and am thrilled that she won it for translating my 600-page tome, #FurrowsInAField, into Kannada, as #NegilaGeregalu. My 1/2
A photographer friend sent this picture of my book (in translation) displayed in the backdrop of the Vidhana Soudha, at a recently held book fair there. #FurrowsInAField: The Unexplored Life of HD Deve Gowda is my biography, translated into Kannada by Rosy D’Souza.
Saddened by the passing of #SitaramYechury. Loved his youngish spirit. Loved the gentle idiom of his English and Telugu. Am grateful for the time he gave when I was writing #FurrowsInAField. He came for the launch too. A short clip from that day. @seemay https://t.co/C7DO8CFfk8

Former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda turns 92, today. A very happy birthday to him. To understand this remarkable man, and the twists and turns of his hard and complex life, read my biography. As I say at the end of my introduction to #FurrowsInAField he is “more than the sum 1/2
One of India's greatest legal minds, Mr.#FaliNariman has passed away this morning at the ripe old age of 95. The space he filled will remain forever vacant. Reposting the video clip of his speech at the launch of my husband @sugataraju's #FurrowsInAField in Dec '21.
RIP,Sir.
The legendary jurist #FaliNariman says at the Delhi launch of #FurrowsInAField that @sugataraju is “no Judas neither is he a flatterer”. @H_D_Devegowda @PenguinIndia
In December 2021 @bookworm_Kris lovingly stacked up my book #FurrowsInAField to make it look like a Christmas tree.
I’ll speak on my two recent books at the #Blrlitfest: #StrangeBurdens on #RahulGandhi and #FurrowsInAField on #HDDeveGowda. If you haven’t read them yet may want to pick them up at a bookstore near you, or here: https://t.co/W7mHhJ4rjB and https://t.co/BVBLnUNjew @mileeashwarya
This reference to the #WomenReservationBill is in my biography of @H_D_Devegowda: #FurrowsInAField When parliamentary record is clear Congress should acknowledge the role that others played in the conception of the bill. As @kharge ji said in the RS yesterday nobody sees the foundation stone, they only see the structures built on them. @INCIndia @JanataDal_S
Whoever may claim whatever, the #WomenReservationBill is a @H_D_Devegowda legacy. It was introduced as early as 1996. I write about it in #FurrowsInAField and you can also find references to this in then cabinet secretary TSR Subramaniam’s book — Turning Point.
Deeply honoured that @H_D_Devegowda watched it. At 91, he is a politician who works very hard, listens carefully, reads voraciously and makes notes copiously. This aspect of his was a discovery I made when researching for #FurrowsInAField. Hope to access his note books some day. Besides, he is deeply democratic. He has never to this day commented on the critical parts in the biography while he has still maintained cordiality. @BDUTT @mileeashwarya
Former Prime Minister of India H. D. Deve Gowda tunes in to @themojostory to watch @sugataraju interview with @BDUTT on his new book on #RahulGandhi.
