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 Indias Image. Meanwhile, he joined the Janes International Defence Review, of the Janes Information Group, United Kingdom, as South Asia Correspondent. He also started writing a column for the Pioneer newspaper, based in Delhi. He co-authored Operation Parakram: The War Unfinished with Lt. Gen. V.K. Sood. |
