Conspirator by R V Raman…..
What a ride!… In the present times Indian novelist such as Ravi Subramanian and R V Raman have managed to catch the present trend of the market and capitalised on an intriguing story line!!…
So while Ashwin Sanghi’s private Delhi had an honest and upright journalist being the centre of attention, here the centre stage is taken over by the media…..
Though the story is fiction I am sure the the materials presented in the story reek of truth if nothing else……
False news and paid news are the words you will read here though we have already been bombarded by them over and over again without realising the truth!
The illicit relationship between media and politics is an open secret!…. It was amazing the way Raman explained how a single news can be presented in two opposite ways!…
How if you are willing to pay your news and views and your policies will be supplimented with ‘expert’ analysis or regular print and digital marketing….
And the final and the most recent craze…. Social media news!… I have long stopped believing anything which is seen or read on FB WhatsApp or Twitter!…. And that’s the truth!….how bots and agencies can create false news and silently fade into oblivion only to strike again with another trash so to speak!….
Starting with a double homicide in COORG to a whole lot of scams all over, Raman spins an intricate web and his financial background aids him well!….
At the end of it all its all money and share market and digital coding….. Things which everyone likes to have as their standard diet!…
It’s a complete Indian work by a complete Indian author with three great best sellers already down the list!…. So those who like to read stuff can grab this without much ado while those who can’t be caught dead reading an Indian book can read it in secret!…..
FB, whatsapp, Twitter, photo morphing, share and SEBI, steganography (!!!), News anchor, news editor and media owners!… Yup…. Covered them all!!….
But as the author ended this melancholically; no one cares…. Everyone forgets the scams….. Everyone just want the entertaining news and not the truth…..cause apparently truth is a myth!!….
