New Delhi: Former Air India director Jitendra Bhargava's controversial book 'Descent of Air India' will be available on Kindle from today. After its publisher Bloomsbury decided to withdraw all copies from the market, Jitendra Bhargava had vowed to make it accessible to readers in the form of a self published e-book.
Former Civil Aviation minister Praful Patel had filed a defamation case against the author and the publisher for holding him responsible for the near collapse of India's national carrier Air India.
Praful Patel's anger even forced the publisher Bloomsbury to put out an apology in a national newspaper. After his book was pulped, an angry Bhargava had described the decision as arbitrary and the publishers were under pressure from Praful Patel to withdraw the copies from bookstores across India.
