Book Description

Publication Date: December 30, 2006

Earlier considered as politically inexperienced, Sonia Gandhi is undoubtedly one of the strongest icons of Indian politics today. She is inspiration for crores of people for her dynamic leadership by virtue of which she could give an astounding defeat to key rival party led by veterans like Vajpayee and Advani, and bring the Congress party back to power. To have a desire to know this great woman from close quarters is thus obvious. The present book is a humble tribute to her affability, courage and selfless service. It is devoted to reveal her both personal as well as political life. Briefly outlining her childhood and married life, the book mainly focuses on her innate qualities and achievements as a political leader. Structured into six parts, the book begins with the details of her childhood and proceeds with her friendship with Rajiv Gandhi and her role in the family while the later chapters depict her entry into politics, her parliamentary role, and her role in governance. The book is replete with many unrevealed truths of her life along with selected photographs that not only revive her past but also add to the value of the book.
