Seasoned Diplomat To Scholar Prime Minister- Profile of I.K. Gujral

This book is an exciting journey into various facets of the illustrious career of India’s new Prime Minister, Inder Kumar Gujral. Leader of a multiparty coalition, he was chosen to preside over the destiny of world’s largest democracy. He enjoys good reputation among the people in all walks of life because of his clean image. He is neither casteist nor communal and has thus wide acceptability. Indeed he is a perfect compromise Prime Minister for the fractious United Front. Politics is an art, statesmanship is science and party organisation is a craft. Gujaral successfully combines these roles to a remarkable degree. He exudes understanding and sweet reasonableness without compromising of fundamentals. This book offers a collective psychoanalysis of the Indian Prime Minister. Himself a refugee, he had come to Delhi like millions of others. Destiny had assigned him the role of unfurling the National Flag on the ramparts of the Red Fort in the 50th year of India’s Independence.
