Intertwined Lives P N Haksar and Indira Gandhi

This is the first definitive biography of arguably Indias most influential and powerful civil servant, i.e. P N Haksar, Indira Gandhi's alter ego  during her period of glory. Drawing on Haksars extensive archives of official papers, memos, notes and letters, the author presents a compelling chronicle of the life and times of a truly remarkable personality who decisively shaped the nations political and economical history in the 1960s and 1970s that continues to have relevance for todays India as well. Written in authors inimitable style, this work of formidable scholarship brings to life a man who is fast becoming a victim of collective amnesia.
