Guarding India’s Integrity

This is an eye opening autobiography of the author, after his return home from Nepal, at the end of his Ambassadorial appointment there. While promoting Indo-Nepal cordial relations, he also established very close personal relations with the Government and the people of Nepal. The same identification with the people characterised his subsequent tenures as Governor. His return from Nepal was followed by an interlude of seven years. Thereafter, he was appointed Governor of Assam in 1997. After six years in Assam, he was appointed Governor of Jammu and Kashmir in 2003, in which capacity he served for five years. During all these three phases of his life, he remained very pro-active, as amply brought out in this book.
