Atul Chaurasia

Atul Chaurasia has fond memories of growing up just 80 kilometres from Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh, and nightmares of the communal violence sparked by contested claims to the holy city. He has long dreamed of penning his memoir of those turbulent times but has found himself occupied by journalism for the past 15 years. He helped found Tehelka Hindi magazine and Catch News’ Hindi website, which he led as Executive Editor. Currently, he is Executive Editor at Newslaundry. A reporter at heart, he won the Ramnath Goenka Award for Excellence in Journalism in 2010 and 2013.
