📝 About The Book

This Marathi translation by Ashok Padhye presents a powerful and revealing look into the complex and controversial political developments in India during and after Indira Gandhi’s regime. Drawing from original English sources, the book covers major scandals and behind-the-scenes political events that shaped the trajectory of Indian democracy in the late 20th century.

The book discusses the infamous Bofors scandal, pointing out how, although Rajiv Gandhi and his family may not have directly received commissions, they chose not to disclose the names of those involved — possibly due to close political or personal connections. It raises thought-provoking questions about transparency, accountability, and loyalty within political circles.

The narrative also sheds light on V.P. Singh’s tenure as Prime Minister and his handling of the reservation policy, which despite assurances, sparked nationwide protests. Furthermore, it reveals insider details of the Chandraswami episode and the resulting political maneuvering that impacted ministerial positions and internal party dynamics.

Thoroughly researched and engagingly written, this book is a valuable resource for those interested in Indian political history, investigative journalism, and the workings of power, influence, and scandal within India’s highest political offices.
