Kozhikot Gopinathan, a Masters in Economics from the University of Jabalpur, is a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the Indian Army. During his 27 years high-octane career as a commissioned officer with the Regiment of Artillery, he saw action during the 1971 Indo-Pak War, and the botched peace-keeping operations in Sri Lanka. His three tenures in the Himalayas ignited his inherent poetic traits, adding magic to soldiering in the rugged mountains. On retirement, he settled in God’s Own Country, where he has pursued his passion for writing. Gopinathan is a keen observer of the murky Indian political panorama and finds it difficult to remain a passive spectator while self-seeking politicians and bureaucrats exploit a gullible public. In The Coup India Missed, his first book, he shares his thoughts on how to challenge the deep-rooted perversity in Indian polity.
