Chandra Shekhar: The Last Icon of Ideological Politics

The book chronicles the arduous journey of a rebel politician, the perennial Young
Turk and India’s former prime minister, Chandra Shekhar.

'Chandra Shekhar Ji was one of the tallest leaders of his times, who closely witnessed
India’s journey as an independent nation and shaped its political landscape. An
unquestionable idealist, a leader with his hands on the pulse of the people, he believed
that ultimate answers lay with the people themselves.'
— Pranab Mukherjee


This is the story of an ordinary man who did not inherit a grand legacy from a well-established
and renowned family; who did not rely on family wealth and eminence; who did not attend any
of the prestigious educational institutions in the country or abroad; and who did not command a
dedicated vote bank of any specific class, caste or community. Yet he took on the most powerful
prime minister of his time and became a formidable opponent of her politics and policies.

It is the story of a man who came from a lower middle-class family and who, despite stiff opposition
from the most powerful Indian prime minister, Mrs Indira Gandhi, won the nomination to the
Congress Working Committee, not once but thrice.

Chandra Shekhar: The Last Icon of Ideological Politics is an up-close and extraordinary life story of
an ordinary person who rose to become one of the tallest figures in Indian politics.
