Derek O'Brien dominated Indian television as the country's most
well-known quizmaster for over two decades, asking questions to millions
across India. Now he plays a key role in the Rajya Sabha, raising
difficult questions from the front row in the Upper House. One of the
most candid, courageous voices of the Opposition, O'Brien is articulate,
incisive and provocative - qualities that are apparent in his writing.
In this book, comprising his best political essays, Derek O'Brien
reflects on the state of the nation, offering insights from a unique
vantage point inside Parliament. Never afraid of controversy or
contention, he covers topics ranging from the Constitution, the effects
of a hasty GST rollout and demonetisation to the media, the lessons he's
learnt as an MP and the 2019 elections. Thought-provoking and
captivating at once, Inside Parliament is required listening for all
interested in understanding today's India and all who care about its
future.
