My Country My Life is an extraordinary self-portrait of India's leading political personality � L.K. Advani. The book narrates the journey of Advani's life in the context of the momentous political developments in India in the last eight decades. As an immigrant who was forced to abandon his beloved Sindh, which became a part of Pakistan after India's Partition in 1947, Advani gives a poignant first-person account of that tragedy. With a career spanning six decades as a political activist in post-1947 India, during which he has been a ring-side viewer of and participant in almost all the major political events in India, Advani is uniquely qualified to offer a perspective on independent India's evolution. The book offers an insightful reflection on his association with the RSS, which he joined at the age of 14, the birth and evolution of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the profound influence of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya on his thinking and personality, and his seminal contribution, together with his senior colleague and leader Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, to ending the Congress party's dominance over India's polity by building the Bharatiya Janata Party as a viable alternative for governing India. Advani's memoirs tells a gripping story of the fight against the Emergency, the rise and fall of the Janata Party government, the Ayodhya movement, formation of the NDA government and his eventful stint as India's Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. The chapters on terrorism, Agra Summit, the Kargil war, the hijack episode in Kandahar and his historic visit to Pakistan in 2005 are particularly riveting. The book also makes a seminal contribution to the debate on secularism, democracy, national integration, development and good governance, which have been the defining themes of Advani's political career. The importance and timeliness of the publication of his memoirs has increased considerably since he has now been chosen by the BJP-led NDA to lead the multi-party alliance into the forthcoming parliamentary elections. My Country My Life is a testimony to what Advani's admirers as well as his critics have always known about him: he has the gift of clarity of thought, strong convictions and forceful articulation. This is a candid reflection on himself, his party and his nation that is likely to engage readers in a tour de force with India's leading statesman. In a country where political memoirs, especially by those who are still active in politics, are rare, this book is bound to be regarded as a landmark.
