The Ratan Tata, Barkha Dutt & Other Tapes

Recordings of conversations with the likes of Ratan Tata, Ranjan Bhattacharya, Barkha Dutt, Shankar Aiyar, Sunil Arora etc

Please allow a few seconds to elapse before the recordings begin. The file names have not been changed by us and have the date and time embedded in them -- this 20090611-155759 suggests.
