“It is of oddest irony that degrees of exposure of these crimes have
been effectively left up to two individuals gifted with cussed
unstoppableness – the late
Basava Premanand in India and
Robert Priddy in Norway. It is similarly significant that, so
great is the unwillingness of most major Indian media to tackle
Sathya Sai Baba and his incredibly wealthy and influential cult,
that exposing him has been, with the exception of India Today,
Tehelka and (to a small extent) Hindustan Times, left up to the
foreign media to do – e.g., BBC, CBC (Canada), DR (Denmark), SBS,
ABC (Australia), Times of London, Daily Telegraph, Guardian (UK),
Salon.com (USA), and newspapers in Europe, Canada, Australia, etc.
Again, there is irony in that NRI’s (Non-Resident-Indians) get to
see coverage in the foreign media that is tightly suppressed in
India!”
“The lengths to which Premanand and Priddy have gone to examine the
welter of documentation has required much sacrifice of time and
energy. Robert Priddy and I kept in touch with Premanand
over the years, allowed us confidential insight into the very real
risks to life and limb that Premanand ran.
I may express the wish that, apart from other actions that might
be possible, Indian citizens who have access to V.P.B. Nair
challenge him with the question: Have you, as you told the BBC
that you would do, made efforts to keep your promise to see that
there is a proper investigation into the killings at Puttaparthi?”
