Motivating Thoughts of Atal Bihari Vajpayee

Raghav (Author)

As Prime Minister of the country Vajapyeekickstarted many reform and development movements. Under his leadership the Samjhauta Express started between India and Pakistan as a mark of improving the strained political relations between the two countries. Unfortunately it could not materialise based upon the infiltration and cross border violence carried out by Pakistan which eventually turned into the Kargil War in which India defeated Pakistan under the able leadership of Vajapayee. He is also credited for building the nuclear might of the nation by inducting the nuclear weapon programme in the defence capability. He also introduced some major reforms like – Pradhanmantri Gram SadakYojana, Swarnajayanti Gram SwarozgarYojana etc.
Much of what he accomplished during his lifetime can be understood on the basis of the ideas that guided him during his lifetime. This book is an attempt in this direction to offer a short and precise account of the thoughts and the concepts that drove this brave man over a journey of some six decades during which he struggled and succeeded. This book is a humble homage to that journey

The Untold Vajpayee: Politician and Paradox

Ullekh N P (Author) Despite his grand ‘secular’ statements in Parliament that bordered on the Nehruvian, Atal Bihari Vajpayee has often taken brief excursions into the hard-line camp. In 1983, he made an incendiary speech during the Assam elections in which the presence of ‘Bangladeshi foreigners’ in the state was a big issue. Even the BJP disowned Vajpayee’s speech, which possibly inspired the massacre of over 2000 people, mostly Muslims, in Nellie, Assam, the same year. Vajpayee, one of the shrewdest politicians of India, is known for negotiating multiple paradoxes: from militant nationalism to his secret family life; his stint as a communist; his indulgence in food; and his attempt to project himself as a moderate, if not a liberal. Exploring crucial milestones of Vajpayee’s career and his traits as a seasoned politician, the book looks at his relationship with leaders of his party and his love–hate association with the RSS and its feeder organizations.
