Chander Mehra

Chander Mehra, 85, is a former editor-columnist-author. Hospitalized for eight years, he has worked in senior positions in India and Africa . He has survived through trying times during the regimes of African tyrants as well as during the Emergency in India. In Kenya, he was detained without trial thrice because his commentaries in The Statesman India were inimical to the dictator. Even today, he is a “Prohibited Immigrant”. The manuscript of his book, Good Governance: The Great Debate, and several papers were and are lost forever. In India, during the Emergency, he was briefly detained for editing the manuscript of Jayaprakash Narayan’s TOTAL REVOLUTION. Chander Mehra’s published books include: two novels, Jihad Rediscovered, banned by some Islamic states, and Soldiers of Allah (Amazon, 2013), written in-between episodes of cardiac arrest. A cancer-survivor, he has been hospitalized for more than eight years, but continues to write on his ramshackle desktop and is currently giving finishing touches to the manuscript of CORRUPTION> AGENDA FOR THE 2!st CENTURY. Mr. Mehra has interviewed five Indian Prime Ministers: Indira Gandhi, Atal Behari Vajpayee, Morarji Desai, Inder Kumar Gujral and Chandrashekhar. He has also interviewed several African leaders, including Nelson Mandela’s closest friend Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Kenya’s last President Daniel arap Moi and the late Jomo Kenyatta’s son Uhuru Kenyatta, now President.
