Defamation, you say?

A week ago, a letter from the books editor at Caravan said that Arindam Chaudhuri (remember him?) has slapped a Rs. 500 million lawsuit against Siddhartha Deb, Caravan, Penguin India and Google India. I wanted to blog about it but was caught up.

Caravan's press release can be found here. And the article that Chaudhuri has had removed from their website can be found on Google cache here.

But hey - this may already be old news for some of you. Not sure what one can do to show support; maybe circulate the cached link widely? See how nice Deb has actually been in his piece? He's not in the business of writing hagiographies after all.
