Fired from OPEN magazine[]

In November 2013, Bal was controversially fired from his position of political editor of OPEN magazine.[14] In an interview, OPEN's former Editor Manu Joseph revealed that the magazine's proprietor, Sanjiv Goenka, had told Joseph that Bal's views, expressed in his writings and in television appearances, were resulting in him "making a lot of... political enemies."[15]
