| Note | Memoirs of an Indian Diplomat seamlessly weaves together the narrative of the author’s personal journey of intellectual maturation and self-realization, and the meta-narrative of India’s ‘coming-of-age’ since independence. The author shares not only his own personal and professional anxieties, dilemmas and delights, but also rare insights into India’s evolving foreign policy and the psyche and working of India’s ruling elite and their power play, both within and outside the country. Peppered with anecdotes about his diplomatic maneuvers and dealings, as well as the moods and quirks of eminent political figures and bureaucrats he consorted with, this book gives a slice of history with a human touch. |
