Amarinder Singh: The People's Maharaja: An Authorized Biography - Book By Khushwant
Singh
An
authentic, definitive and no-holds-barred narrative – packed with fascinating
incidents and anecdotes – that brings alive the life and times of one of the
most prominent, multifaceted and striking individuals (a former royal) in the
sphere of Punjab politics Beginning with a historical background of how the
Patiala kingdom came to be established, and ruled, over the centuries, the author moves on to describe the early years of Amarinder Singh.
He then
portrays the Indo?Pak war zone of 1965 and finally focuses on the combative
arenas of Punjab politics, where numerous electoral and other battles have been
fought. This informative work unravels the subterfuges of politicians and in
trying to ensure their dominance.
The pages
reveal behind-the-scenes intrigues, plots and counterplots even as Punjab was
in the vice-like grip of terrorism in the late twentieth century. Operation
Bluestar (June 1984) and its consequences have been objectively recorded.
Besides tracing the career graph of Amarinder Singh, who reached his pinnacle
when he became the chief minister of Punjab in February 2002, the author
provides useful insights into crucial events that have made an immense impact
on that state and the neighboring areas over the past few decades.
The text also throws light on Amarinder Singh’s five-year tenure as chief minister (marked by both positive and negative aspects) and on the following period, when Parkash Singh Badal regained that post. The contents are rounded off with an update on the Punjab scenario up to February 2017, which saw Amarinder Singh come back with a thumping victory. Here’s a saga that records history in the making in Punjab.
