Description

They recount how, as a young District Officer, the author confronted both the cultural challenges of rural postings in the extreme south and the implications of being a fledgling Guardian and how, in New Delhi later on, he experienced the bloodletting of August 1947. He questions the myths, action models and growing corruption of the new Indian ruling class of which he was himself a part as he rose to the higher ranks of the central and state bureaucracy. The book's concluding chapters capture the political manoeuvrings of the last Nehru years as well as the prime ministerial life and times of his still undervalued successor, Lal Bahadur Shastri.

About the Author

RAYMOND FRANCIS ISAR was born in 1916 in Sialkot (Pakistan), in a hybrid Catholic family. His father was a convert from Hinduism, while his maternal grandparents were originally Sufis. He was educated at St. Stephen's College, Delhi and Balliol College, Oxford. In 1940 he joined the Indian Civil Service and in 1948 the Indian Foreign Service. In 1956 he was obliged to resign from the IFS on account of his second marriage to a foreign national.
