This is a thought-provoking book by General Krishnaswamy Sundarji, who served as the Chief of the Army Staff of the Indian Army from 1986 to 1988. The book is a blend of military analysis, social commentary, and reflections on India’s governance and strategic challenges.
In the book, Sundarji critiques the nation’s approach to critical issues such as national security, political leadership, and societal development. Using the metaphor of the blind men from the well-known parable, Sundarji highlights the fragmented and myopic decision-making processes in Indian society and governance.
It’s a key read for those interested in military strategy, political science, and the challenges faced by post-independence India.
