This book follows the early career of a man of principle and pride, a dedicated nationalist, who at once loved his country while condemning the path chosen for it by its leaders and the majority of its practicing politicians. He came from a humble background and from the countryside, though he was no country bumpkin, but a self-made man of high intellect. Coming from a middle peasant caste, the Jats, he embodied and spoke for a new social movement, that of the backward castes of northern India, whose interests he always promoted and in whose advancement he played the most important role.
