Mark Tully on India and Pakistan
Mark Tully is probably the most regionally-savvy western reporter in the Indian subcontinent, with 30 years in the field. After a career reporting from India for the BBC, he fell out with BBC’s leadership a few years back and left. Now he’s filing analysis stories periodically for CNN. His most recent story is from about a week ago, which could seem an eternity in the conflict brewing between Pakistan and India, but still makes for an interesting read. I’m going to keep an eye on the Tully archive on CNN.com to see what he comes up with next.
In 1992, Tully wrote a book of essays about India and his experiences there. It was published in the U.S. as The Defeat of a Congressman and in the U.K. as No Full Stops in India (I guess the publishers felt U.S. readers wouldn’t get the pun in the U.K. title, so they came up with a different punning title for the U.S. release). I haven’t read it in a while; guess I need to pull it off the shelf. The books are well out of print by now, but Powell’s has used copies in stock.
