Very well expressed. I had the opportunity to receive him at Nathdwara temple in 1997 before he ascended to the PMO. He had a great appeal in his body language and gestures.
Yet as PM, he failed the Nation in 2002, when he was supposed to act. And; he was taken for ride when he was made to believe ‘India Shining’ by people around him and was made to sit in opposition after preponed elections.
This however does not mean he was not a great statesman. He was an honest politician, meaning to serve the Nation, and above all a great humanist believing in equality, fraternity, liberty and freedom.
Baiji..... you may be right. This was not to critically assess his role as a a PM or otherwise as a statesman, but just to present my personal snippets, to narrate which, I wrote this article, at very short notice and in matter of a couple of hours, everything included,
An interesting and informative narration of the author’s emotional and affectionate reminiscences of a truly wonderful statesman and a popular leader of his own mettle.
