New Delhi: Veteran journalist Kedar Nath Gupta, in collaboration with Manoranjana Sinh, is set to release his deeply personal memoir, Ink, Saffron and Freedom, offering a vivid account of India’s political and social evolution over nearly a century. The book, which traverses Delhi’s transformation, the role of journalism, and the vision of an Akhand Bharat, will be launched on April 30 at 5:00 PM at the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre, 15 Janpath, New Delhi.
The event will witness the presence of distinguished personalities, including Dr. Krishna Gopal, Sah Sarkaryavah* of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), and Sh. Prem Prakash will release the book.
A Journalist’s Witness to History
Gupta’s memoir provides a gripping narrative of India’s tumultuous journey—from the horrors of Partition, including the 1946 Garhmukteshwar massacre, to the Emergency’s crackdown on press freedom, and the ideological shifts within the RSS. The book also reflects on contemporary aspirations for a united and strong India.
“This text is as much about me as it is about the world I grew up in,” says Gupta. “I can only hope that it leaves you, my dear reader, thinking about this lived life long after you’ve brushed past its final pages.”
A Love Letter to Delhi and Journalism
More than an autobiography, *Ink, Saffron and Freedom* is a tribute to Delhi’s vibrant past—when newsrooms were battlegrounds for truth, and the city thrived as a hub of poets, revolutionaries, and ideologues. Gupta’s recollections paint a picture of resilience, capturing the essence of a journalist who chose to shape history rather than merely observe it.
The memoir is expected to resonate with readers who have experienced Delhi’s ever-changing landscape and the pulse of India’s democratic spirit. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of journalism and the nation’s unyielding quest for freedom and unity.
