Book Review - LK Advani autobiography "My Country, My Life"

Lal Krishna Advani is an important leader of the BJP. In fact, after Vajpayee is the best known face of the BJP Indian political horizon. Advani lasted eight decades of Indian politics. From this point of view alone, his autobiography "My Country, My Life 'a significant contribution.

The book is comprehensive, covering his life from his time Advani in Karachi before independence to 21 Century. This is a huge canvas and Advani spent much time on itthe facts as he sees them. Few Indian politicians of considerable stature wrote an autobiography, with the exception of Nehru. Advani must be completed for this step.

Advani book is interesting reading as it provides an overview of the thinking process of the Hindu social and party political options for the start of the political morality of the Jan Sangh LEDs. This party then transformed into the BJP. The first part of the book, especially, itsPeriod in Karachi and the impact of RSS on it makes interesting reading. He expressed his disappointment with the Congress Party for the perceived failure to prevent partition and commends the work of the RSS in the difficult days of 1947 when India flames with riots between Hindus and Muslims was. Advani also discussed the bomb plot of 1947 in Karachi, where some leaders have been involved Sindhi Hindu.

Advani to clarify its equation of Gandhi. He brings up the fact that heall due respect to the leader, but his analysis of Nehru and Indira Gandhi are revealing. Criticized them.

The book distributed over a thousand pages, had worked at least 200 pages and related content would not have lost. After reading his book one can appreciate the brand of nationalism Advani. His interpretation of the ruling Shah Bano and his Ram Rath Yatra and the Ram temple in Ayodhya, which led to the downfall of the government, VP Singh are interestingthey reflect the views of Advani and the BJP Hindu party which is (Bharat Janta Party).

Advani, however, throughout his long association with the RSS (GOM Swayam Sevak Sangh) and the Hindu revivalist BJP party and the former Jan Sangh should come as a secularist. Nowhere in the book Advani seems to be something other than a nationalist. Penning was when this book is a possibility that the Indian Prime Minister, which would be with some parts that were written in MayView. But this is not the merit of the book, not diminish. The reading gives you an overview in the mind of one of the great Hindu leader of the BJP today.

Advani was deputy prime minister in the BJP government led by Vajpayee. His friendship with Vajpayee will be clear where the mentor of Vajpayee and Advani was the follower. However, Advani fly over his role in the liberation of the wanted terrorist Masood Azar, after the abduction of Air Indialine of aircraft. Slides in Greater This would add value.

Moreover, no personal intimate details of personal life is Adjani. The autobiography is not the political will, but should be comprehensive, including personal life. This gap is not addressed in the book.

But the book is worth reading if only for the work of the Spirit of him who asked not to be the king. Advani defeat at the hustings by the substance of the book, not diminish.
