MANDATE:WILL OF THE PEOPLE-

MY REVIEW

Politics has always been a subject which has been inviting curiosity now and for all ages. “Mandate" Will Of The People- has tried to envisage all the major events in political history of our times. As we grew up we have had many rounds about, discussions, debates and surely have been glued to the media for many of those very intriguing events and massacres which had moulded and influenced us and Indian politics.

Vir Sanghvi who we have all known as a  gutsy journalist and TV anchor narrates and brings out many of the  hidden chapters of Indian politics which we have heard, whispered and discussed with our half baked interpretation or insight. Most of the real life events which have at one point of time incited us, grabbed our attention has been elaborated with intricate details from his journalistic vision and diligent observation.

In-depth details about Indira Gandhi’s declaration of emergency to the real facts about Babri Masjid demolition, Punjab’s insurgencies to assassination of Indira Gandhi all have been served from the real realms.  Every topic which had lured controversy has been decently revealed be  it  the emergence of Rajiv Gandhi or Bofors scandal that led to his defeat, the readers  are thoroughly fed with  political analysis from an internal perspective blended with real motives of political controversies and conspiracies.

We all may have lot of queries regarding those shady political events in history which did not have any clear interpretations. Narasimha Rao becoming Prime-Minister to Ram Mandir agitation-the insight story, the real analysis. Why Sonia Gandhi did not agree to be PM? Well, that surely had many minds working harshly to come to a tangible solution. The book has poignantly clicked out some real life images in political arena and served them to common people. Those small notes and intricate details have surely aroused and satiated many minds.

An interesting read, there was a moment I really could not believe my eyes when I came to know Indira Gandhi’s inability to read speech in public. She had even been labelled as “Gungi Doll” by Ram Manohar Lohia.

Vir Sanghvi has come out with a well woven web of political wrangles, rows, disclosures with his chiselled facts expressed in the most honest way." Mandate" The Will Of The People  is swaddled in best way unveiling each and every politically warped chapter of Indian history.
