Journalist and commentator Inder Malhotra who passed away on June 11 was perhaps the only one among the editors from the Times stable in the 1980s who is remembered for having stood up to Samir Jain, the then Vice Chairman of the Times Group, as he sought to cut journalists to size. In 2012 he told the Hoot, “I told Samir that although he was fond of describing the newspaper as a product that was no different from a cake of soap, I had never seen a cake of soap that had to worry about its credibility and its integrity. His reply to me was curt: ‘Only profit matters, nothing else’.” Other examples are cited in this Scroll.in story.
