Madhu Limaye on Famous Personalities

This book Madhu Limaye on Famous Personalities contains a collection of articles exploring certain unknown facets of these famous personalities. The first article conveys the manner in which Gandhiji transformed political activism in India. The article on Sardar Patel communicates the core belief of the Sardar in an "ordered state" and his efforts towards establishing it in India.

One article reviews affinities and differences between Mahatmaji and Netaji Subhas Bose, while another article pays homage to Jawaharlal, Mahatmaji's heir apparent. Two articles are about Rajen Babu. One describes how he adroitly defeated Jawaharlal's attempts to deny him the post of "the president of our republic", and the other about his contribution as well as his attempts to define the role and responsibilities of the "President of India."
