PRAVIN
SAWHNEY
Editor
Pravin Sawhney started his career with the Indian Army in 1976.
However, the writing bug bit him and he took premature retirement
as a major and plunged into journalism. Starting his career
with the Business and Political Observer, he moved to the Times
of India, Indian Express and finally The Asian Age.
By
this time he was gripped by wanderlust. Getting
a couple of fellowships he went, first to Royal United Services Institute, UK, and later to the Co-operative Monitoring |
|
Centre, Sandia National Laboratories, United States. On his return to India he published his first book, The Defence
Makeover: 10 Myths that Shape India’s Image. Meanwhile, he joined
the Jane’s International Defence Review, of the Jane’s Information
Group, United Kingdom, as South Asia Correspondent. He also
started writing a column for the Pioneer newspaper, based in
Delhi. Recently, he co-authored Operation Parakram: The War
Unfinished with Lt. Gen. V.K. Sood. When he is not reading or
thinking about writing, he enjoys lecturing people.
