Rate this book
When P.V. Narasimha Rao became the unlikely prime minister of India in 1991, he
inherited a nation adrift, violent insurgencies, and economic crisis. Despite
being unloved by his people, mistrusted by his party, and ruling under the
shadow of 10 Janpath, Rao transformed the economy and ushered India into the
global arena.

With exclusive access to Rao’s never-before-seen personal papers and diaries,
this definitive biography provides new revelations on the Indian economy,
nuclear programme, foreign policy and the Babri Masjid. Tracing his early life
from a small town in Telangana through his years in power, and finally, his
humiliation in retirement, it never loses sight of the inner man, his difficult
childhood, his corruption and love affairs, and his lingering loneliness.
Meticulously researched and brutally honest, this landmark political biography
is a must-read for anyone interested in knowing about the man responsible for
transforming India.
