A propos de cet article

No evocative of contemporary Indian politics can match that found in the pages of Pranab Mukherjee s diary, a place where his mind found its most memorable outlet. The 13th President of India, who served as India s External Affairs, Defence, Finance and Commerce Minister at different times; a Parliamentarian with the unique distinction of being the leader of both Houses; and a member of the Congress Working Committee for 23 years, Pranab Mukherjee was a scholar par excellence, powerful orator and one of India s most towering statesmen. But to his daughter, Sharmistha Mukherjee, he was Baba, the workaholic; the history teacher who narrated events in the spirit of adda at dinner time; and the devoutly religious man who never imposed his faith on his daughter. In public and private, Pranab was always larger than life. In Pranab, My Father: A Daughter Remembers, Sharmistha offers a fascinating glimpse into the illustrious life of Pranab Mukherjee. She invites us into her family s private world that was peopled by the Gandhis Indira, Rajiv, Sonia and Rahul; Prime Ministers P.V. Narasimha Rao, Atal Behari Vajpayee, Dr Manmohan Singh and, more recently, Narendra Modi. She uncovers new, hitherto unknown facets of Pranab s political life his unfulfilled ambition of becoming India s prime minister arising out of his inability to emerge as the number one person to earn Sonia s trust, the personality cult around the Nehru Gandhi family, Rahul Gandhi s lack of charisma and political understanding, Mamata Banerjee s opposition to Pranab s nomination as the presidential candidate (which sealed the deal in his favour) and his advice to PM Modi to acknowledge the contributions of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. Through Pranab s diary entries, personal stories narrated to Sharmistha and her own research enhanced by her collection of never-before-seen photographs this is a sweeping, multigenerational narrative from a flickering lamp in West Bengal s remote village to the glittering chandeliers of India s capital. Refreshingly original as it is exquisitely rendered, Pranab, My Father: A Daughter Remembers is a remarkable debut book that celebrates a special father daughter relationship. Read less.…
