Or they would post us a press cutting. Why single out Vajpayee, when his behaviour is the norm among so many!"
He joined the faculty of economics at Harvard beginning as an assistant professor and later became an associate professor. To them, Members of Parliament like Swamy brought new hope: he was deluged with mail (in those days people could communicate only through the postal service, the rather shaky telephone services and by hand). The book also describes the truncated Janata party, to be “a tank of crocodiles and crabs, each with his own sub crocodiles and sub crabs, with each person out to pull down every possible rival”.

This was not just indigenous naïve left liberalism: a whole generation of upper-class Indian intellectuals had been reared (brainwashed) in the post war English universities where it was fashionable not just to be left but actually Communist (witness the Cambridge group assimilated under Kim Philby and Antony Burgess and the like, which mentored post-war Indians of the Mahalanobis to Parthasarathy to even as late as the Amartya Sen school).
The result was that by the second decade of the twenty-first century, first hundreds and then thousands and then lakhs and finally a couple of million (it presently hovers over three million) enthusiastic, tech-savvy and terribly open-minded men and women, young and old, began to look forward to opening their day by seeing what Swamy had to say on Twitter. With a clean record without any controversies throughout his career Swamy is one person who never hesitated to fight against injustice. INR 1,75,11,340 (as of 2004) The critics did not hesitate to be downright dishonest if necessary: one eminent editor spread far and wide his “information” that Swamy had never actually been to Harvard at all: we learnt this from his junior who, having lived with us during her student years in Boston, could hardly back up his lie. “Despite such sycophants, in his later days as Prime minister Rajiv, was often open to Swamy’s ideas and views; and sometimes even bucked his party line for Swamy," she writes. He had met her when was at Harvard. They have two daughters, Gitanjali Swamy who is a private equity investment professional in the US married to MIT professor and Suhasini Haider who is an editor at The Hindu and married to Nadeem Haidar son of Salman Haider. An excerpt from Roxna Swamy’s book ‘Evolving with Subramanian Swamy - A roller coaster ride’. She is now an advocate at the Supreme Court of India.
She claimed the “hosts took very seriously Swamy’s interest in developing friendly relations between India and China” whereas they were “set about humiliating Vajpayee during his trip”. He also studied at Harvard University where he received a PhD in Economics in 1965 and his thesis adviser in Harvard was the famous Nobel Laureate Simon Kuznets. Another phenomena that played its part in breaking the back of the Swamy blackout was the development of private television news channels in the present century.
In fact Swamy was the first Indian political leader to make publicised trip to Israel where he met with some important Israeli leaders such as Yitzhak Rabin and then Prime Minister Menachem Begin in the year 1982. But the slightest independent advancement - even if it is for the common goal - brings out the meanest streak in the insecure second rater; and then everything must be done to crush the supposed emerging rival. Also the mosque should be built at public expense across the Saryu River in Ayodhya. It was in his meeting with China’s supreme Deng Xiaoping the opening of Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage route was announced in April 1981 which was widely reported in the media but had some other claimants too. I cannot pretend to have very much knowledge of the way it functions; but Swamy studied it thoroughly, grasped what a marvellous way it was to keep in touch with a brave new open-minded world and he took to it like a duck to water.
Suhasini Haidar is a professional Indian print and television journalist, anchor with a career spanning 20+ years. “Vajpayee now heading a new and rival political party, the BJP, nevertheless found in Swamy and his hints of Vajpayee’s drinking drugging and womanising habits, a thorn in the flesh; and he applied Jethmalani to put Swamy down,” writes Roxna, detailing how Jethamalani prodded the then Bombay mayor to file a criminal defamation case against Swamy over his remarks that “Pai was engaged in a prostitution racket”.

Although apparently the Chinese authorities jammed it, it continued for a few months during which time an influential “Lutyens Delhi” professor VP Dutt in the Delhi University Chinese field, decided that Swamy was muscling in on his monopoly to broadcast on all things Chinese.
Swamy married Roxna, an Indian woman of Parsi origin who also studied at Harvard, in 1966.
Matters picked up when (I think it was in the late 1980s) there came the era of the gigantic serials, the Ramayana and the Mahabharatha: it became evident that the vast millions of Indians were deeply attached to their Hindu heritage. As the plane made an “emergency” landing in Madras, the Swamys made their way out of the emergency chute and holed up in a lounge before arrangements to a flight to Delhi was made later in the night. She also writes that even after Vajpayee suffering a stroke in 2009, animosity against Swamy in the BJP continued and was stoked by the former prime minister’s "sidekicks” and only after “herculean efforts” by a “more just RSS” Swamy was inducted back into BJP in 2013.
