About this ebook

A Prisoner’s Scrap-Book is a fascinating account of the unfolding of events of the Emergency (1975-77) as seen from a prison house. Written in a simple and straightforward style embellished with anecdotes; this is not just one more prison diary. Nor does it attempt to theorize. In words that speak from the heart; the author—then the president of a major Indian political party and how the country’s. Home Minister—has recorded his thoughts and the events that took place on a day-to-day basis during his nineteen-month sojourn in the country’s jails. In his foreword to the book; former Prime Minister Shri Morarji Desai writes; “...The diary reveals a person of singular honesty and dedication; culture and equanimity. It depicts the burning faith with which he withstood the consequences of governmental trickery and his passion; as an editor for the freedom of the Press and the mass-media....”
The book also includes a collection of pro-democracy literature written by the author under a pseudonym and circulated in the underground conduits.
The author’s uncompromising commitment to democratic norms and values is reflected here; as well as his abiding faith in an open society and the unfettered right of the people to pursue its ideals.
A book which deserves to be read by all who value such ideals.
