An exclusive excerpt from Vivek Agnihotri's latest book, Who killed Shastri, that investigates the mysterious death of independent India’s second prime minister, Lal Bahadur Shastri, from all possible angles.
It’s not as if movies have lost their edge as agents of conditioning, but what has changed is how the average audience refuses to drink the Kool-Aid of yore with the same enthusiasm.
Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has made a sensation with his movie The Tashkent Files. Speaking with Rohit E David, Agnihotri discussed Congress reactions, freedom of expression under the BJP and his opposition to 'urban Naxals'.

Agnihotri makes an attempt to point to how easy it has been to wipe out Shastri's life (even death) from public memory.
