This review is from: Rajiv Gandhi: A Political Study (Hardcover)

This book examines some of the policies of Rajiv Gandhi in his first term in office, though a bit out of date (written before his assasination). Gupta shows the similarities and differences that the young Prime Minister shared with his mother- Indira. Gupta shows how this techno-reform-minded fresher to Indian politics achieves little (atleast in his first term) and resorts to some of controversial undemocratic ways of handing things like Indira Gandhi. Keep in mind that it is not a very thorough account on the man or his policies, just an introduction.
