Devanur’s book ‘RSS: Aala Mattu Agala critical of RSS, sells in record numbers Barkha Kumari, DHNS, JUL 06 2022, https://www.deccanherald.com/metrolife/metrolife-your-bond-with-bengaluru/devanur-s-book-critical-of-rss-sells-in-record-numbers-1124171.html
Mahadeva dwells on the wave of majoritarianism, and the book shows how it goes against Constitutional values of equality and liberty, says activist and freelance journalist Shivasundar.
One book, six publishers: Devanur on a new model ’ is an experiment in decentralised publishing, well-known writer Devanur Mahadeva told Metrolife on Tuesday. Did you expect such an enthusiastic response to the book? No, not on this scale. We had been planning a decentralised publishing movement. For the first edition, six publishers brought out 9,000 copies of this book. Gauri Media Trust published 2,000 copies, and the entire lot was sold out in just three days. This was unexpected. With demand growing, they are now publishing 5,000 copies. That edition will be out tomorrow (Wednesday). Other publishers are going in for 3,000 and 5,000 copies. My personal view: Isn’t it possible for each taluk to print 1,000 or 2,000 copies and sell them there? Chikkanayakanahalli and Tiptur taluks have already done it.
