[^1]\n\nPenguin India stated that publishers have a responsibility and duty to critically examine a manuscript, raise questions, make recommendations, and exercise independent editorial judgement. [^2]\n\nAlka Jena, Deputy Director of the Planning & Convergence Department in the Government of Odisha, co-authored the book 'The Orissan' with the father-daughter duo Sandip and Pallavi Das. [^3]\n\nThe situation regarding the memoir is described as a political row. [^4]\n\nThe stalled publication of the memoir is linked to an impasse over a 'particular issue'. [^5]\n\nAlka Jena stated that the book aims to preserve recipes and techniques that are often carried only through memory and risk disappearing when a generation passes. [^6]\n\nPallavi Das, based in New York, pitched the book idea to her father Sandip in the summer of 2023, aiming to create a meaningful coffee-table book rather than a conventional cookbook. [^7]\n\nThe book 'The Orissan' was published by Penguin Random House India and is priced at ₹5,999. [^8]",
