One life is not enough

One Life Is Not Enough



The book is about the real life events, lived by India's ex-foreign minister Mr. K. Natwar Singh. The book cover events from Pre-independence era(few events of Mr. Singh's childhood) till the Mr. Modi's swearing ceremony(when he invited SAARC nations to his swearing ceremony). once you cover at least two chapters, you would not resist yourself from completing the Book. However You would find that Mr. K. Natwar Singh was close to Nehru-Gandhi family and that brought fortune to his career as Indian Diplomat in INDIAN FOREIGN SERVICES. Book covers so many important events like Indo-china War, liberation of Goa from portugal and international politics thereafter, Nehru period and diplomacy, Indira's period and diplomacy, and Rajiv's time politics and diplomacy. Finally book covers the events of Natwar singh's political life and end of his political career after volcker case.
The Book gives insight on -
  • Indian Diplomacy from era of Nehru to Sonia gandhi
  • emergency period and criticism faced by India at National and International level.
  • Afterward of emergency.
  • Assassination of Indira and Rajiv, Causes and Afterward politics.
  • Dr. Manhohan Singh's time, when India's relation with other countries was on downward trend.
  • Volcker case- though the case was of corruption, but it also shows how our own friends in politics turn their face when odds are against us.
I would give it 3.5 out of 5 stars and put it to good to be read category.
