Power star and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan always tries to create an impression that he is a politician of a different breed, compared to others.He wants to prove himself as an intellectual, compared to other politicians. So, he often refers quotations from western intellectuals, philosphers, poets and books written by experts, so that the people should think he is not just an actor, but a highly knowledgeable politician.
For the last couple of days, Pawan has been posting in his Twitter the cover pages of books he had read in the past and posting quotations from these books to take a dig at media houses and his political rivals. On Friday evening, Pawan referred to a book “We, The Nation: The Lost Decades” written by noted legal luminary Nani Palkhiwala, stating that this book played a key role in shaping up his political thinking.
In his tweet, Pawan said the book written by Nani Palkhiwala came into his hands when his second brother Nagababu was doing his law in 1980’s and got it home. “Till now, he never knows that he was the one who introduced me to Nani Palkhiwala, who played a key role in shaping up my political thinking,” he tweeted.
Netizens did not lose much time in exposing Pawan’s bluff. First of all, the book was first published in 1994.So, there is no chance of Pawan reading it before Palkhiwala wrote it. However, there was another book written by the legal expert.
It is: “We, The People” written in 1984. May be, Pawan forgot to refer to this book, instead of the first one. But he posted the cover page of the book published in 1994.Assuming that Pawan had mistakenly done it, one wonders at what age Pawan had started reading the books.
As per the Wikipedia, Pawan was born on September 2, 1971. So, he must be nine years in 1980 and it is impossible for anybody to read books at that age for gaining political knowledge.
Assuming that Pawan was referring to Palkhiwala’s book written in 1984, (his tweet says 1980’s and not exactly 1980), he would have been just 13 years when the book was written and even at this age, he would not have read the book.
