Delhi Riots 2020 - The Untold Story Becomes Big Hit: Over 15,000 Copies Sold In Less Than 24 Hours
Delhi Riots 2020 by Garuda Publication
Over 15,000 copies of the book "Delhi Riots 2020: The Untold Story" have been sold in less than 24 hours after it was launched for pre-order by Garuda Prakashan yesterday evening (24 August).
The book was launched by Garuda Prakashan after Bloomsbury India - the original publisher backed out following a concerted campaign by leftists.
Soon after the book's launch, the servers of Garuda Prakashan crashed due to the heavy demand to pre-order the book. The publisher has now enhanced its server capacity to cope with the higher demand.
The book authored by Monika Arora, Sonali Chitalkar and Prerna Malhotra faced a major backlash from individuals like William Dalrymple who mounted pressure on Bloomsbury to desist from publishing it.
Bloomsbury buckled under the pressure and refused to go ahead with the publication despite prior agreements. As per author Monika Arora the publisher did not give any written explanation for sudden change of mind. Bloomsbury also reportedly removed the book from its online platforms.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
