Jayaprakash Narayan: His Life and Mission

Ratan Das (Author)

Synopsis It has been an extremely uphill venture to observe and describe the life and mission of JP, a personality that has never treaded the prescribed way of either politics or that of revolution. He has been a man of controversial character but courageous enough to work out his own ideals. It is difficult to accept him as a politician of normal political character, nor a revolutionary with a casual violent approach. He was a man of his own ideas, evolved and developed by himself through various currents of life. And ultimately he built himself as a doyen of Indian masses. In his life time, JP has rocked several times the history of the nation by acting as a vanguard of the Liberation Movement of India and triumphantly infused the spirit of revolution into the hearts of the youths.
