Phase One (1927-47) describes Advaniâs early life in Sindh, narrating the heart-rending story of Indiaâs blood-soaked partition into two separate countries â India and Pakistan â when Britainâs colonial rule came to an end. He was one of the millions of people who migrated from Pakistan to India â and also from India to Pakistan. After giving a fascinating socio-spiritual history of Sindh, Advani describes his life at home and school in Karachi (which he calls his âfavourite cityâ). He also writes about two transformative influences on his life: the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a nationalist organization which he joined as a swayamsevak (volunteer) at the age of 14, and Swami Ranganathananda, head of the Ramakrishna Math in Karachi and an erudite exponent of the philosophy of Swami Vivekananda whom Advani first met in Karachi. Phase Two (1947-57) deals with Advaniâs life as an RSS pracharak (organiser) in Rajasthan and as an activist of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh. He says: âThis phase gave me my grounding in public life and politics. It also steeled my resolve to live a spartan and disciplined life that is dedicated to the ideology and idealism of my organisation.â An important section in this phase deals with the mutually respectful relationship between Mahatma Gandhi and the RSS. Advani convincingly counters the vile propaganda by the Indian Left that the RSS was behind the assassination of the Mahatma in January 1948. Phase Three (1957-77) deals with Advaniâs evolution as a political leader in New Delhi. 'I was asked,' he writes, 'by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, the main ideologue, guide and organiser of the Jana Sangh, to shift my base to Delhi and work as a political aide to Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who had just been elected to the Lok Sabha for the first time. It is during these two decades that I gained advanced experience in political organisation, political strategy and leadership.' A particularly riveting section in this phase is the description of the imposition of the draconian Emergency Rule by the then Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, in June 1975. Along with tens of thousands of pro-democracy leaders and activists belonging to Opposition parties, Advani spent nineteen months in jail. This phase describes, at considerable length, the sad saga of the Emergency and the thrilling tale of the triumph of democracy. It also demonstrates how the Congress leadership tried to destroy the basic structure of the Constitution, a wrongdoing which the party has never honestly debated or apologized for. âThis is not surprising,â Advani writes, âsince the culture of dynastic rule in the Congress leaves no scope for introspection and self-correction on the many blunders committed by the Nehru-Gandhi family, for which India continues to pay a heavy price. Indeed, dynasticism is now a part of the âbasic structureâ of the Congress.â Phase Four (1977-97) is the period when Advani emerged as an important national leader. It describes his sterling work in Parliament, and also as the Minister of Information & Broadcasting in the Janata Government (1977-79), in dismantling the legal edifice of dictatorship created during the Emergency. It also provides a penetrating account of the disintegration of the Janata Party and the formation of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). A particularly engaging section of this phase is a narration of the BJPâs active participation in the movement for the reconstruction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Advani writes: â(It) soon snowballed into the largest mass movement in the history of independent India. The spectacular public response to my Ram Rath Yatra from Somnath to Ayodhya in September-October 1990 far exceeded my own expectations. Just as the struggle against the Emergency opened my eyes to the Indian peopleâs unflinching faith in democracy, the Ayodhya movement opened my eyes to the deep-rooted influence of religion in the lives of Hindus of all castes and sects across the country. The Ayodhya movement also brought to the fore peopleâs revulsion for pseudo-secularism, as practiced by the Congress party, communists and some other parties, and projected my party, the BJP, as a spirited champion of genuine secularism.â The phase ends with a captivating narration of another important political campaign in Advaniâs life â the Swarna Jayanti Rath Yatra, which marked the Golden Jubilee of Indiaâs Independence. Phase Five (1997-2007) is a period of major accomplishments in Advaniâs political career. The BJPâs spectacular rise, since 1989, culminated in the formation, in March 1998, of the first truly non-Congress coalition government at the Centre under Atal Bihari Vajpayeeâs leadership. After a renewed mandate in 1999, the government of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) served the nation with great dedication and distinction for six years. Writes Advani: âMy own role as Ataljiâs deputy in this government, with the specific charge of the Home Ministry, was highly gratifying to me. I feel proud of the NDA governmentâs various achievements, especially in the fields of national security and national development. Some of them, such as the bold decision to make India a nuclear power and our sincere efforts to normalise relations with Pakistan in spite of the latterâs betrayal, will have a permanent place in our countryâs history. History will record that India became a stronger nation, and a more self-confident nation, under Ataljiâs visionary leadership.â This phase also provides a candid and self-critical assessment of the unanticipated defeat of the NDA in the May 2004 parliamentary elections. âI have not the slightest doubt,â Advani says, âthat, as in the past, the BJP will bounce back again.â The highlights of this part of the book are the Vajpayee governmentâs determined fight against Pakistan-supported cross-border terrorism fueled by religious extremism, Indiaâs triumph in the Kargil War, the Vajpayee-Advani duoâs honest efforts to normalise relations with Pakistan, the hopes and frustrations at the Agra Summit between Vajpayee and General Pervez Musharraf, and Advaniâs historic journey to Pakistan in June 2005. About the controversy generated by this visit, he says, âI have no regrets.â ------------------------------------------------------------ --------- Mahanubhavadu. The great P.V. Narasimha Rao garu, great Sr.NTR and now, Advani garu were victims of malice, greed and selfish agendas. Why does this happen to people who bring about positive changes for the betterment of society and nations.  |
