In:
Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: "I am a CIA agent," proclaimed the bold tag he sported to the
Lok Sabha, with insouciance verging on glee. The bait dangled
at the Indira Gandhi government was delicious revenge, for
the Congress repeatedly denouncing him as "a Washington
parrot".
Sometimes witty, sometimes whacky, ever topical and
trenchant, that maverick architect-politician was Piloo Mody.
The youngest son of Sir Homi Mody, after the redoubtable
brothers Russi and Kali, was an alumnus of the JJ School
of Architecture and University of California, Berkeley.
Piloo possessed idealism tempered with realism. The blend
attracted him to the liberal Swatantra Party, headed by C
Rajagopalachari, of which he was an ardent founder-member.
