Kamaraj: The Life and Times of K. Kamaraj by Bala JeyaramanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A nice biography of a man who was not known beyond South India. The book highlights his simplicity and his organizational capabilities.
He is famous for being the chief minister of Tamil Nadu, but the fact that he was a long term Congress party member who was looked up to for solving internal strife is lost on most people. Many do not know or appreciate this facet of his.
One cannot but end up admiring this map after reading this book. It is definitely not a panegyric to the man neither an ode, but a simple description of the facts which lends a lot of credibility to the book.
Do read to get an insight into one of the better politicians in the Indian politics.
