The name of Shri Jagjivan Ram is historic on account of his disciplined participation in the Anti-Raj movement for Swaraj launched by Gandhiji along with millions of satyagrahis. Babuji as he was called, was a very fine leader, a superb parliamentarian and a successful Cabinet Minister for more than three decades. The chapters, 21 in number, cover his long chequered career of more than six decades. The theme gives a vivid view of each and every aspect of his life. Indeed he was a true symbol of Harijans in our country.
