Jayprakash Narayan: Prophet of People’s Power

JP, as he is fondly remembered, is, for many, now synonymous with two turbulent and momentous periods of Indian history i.e., his heroic role during Quit India Movement of 1942 and his leadership of 1974 Student’s Movement to save democracy in the country. However, the book, translated by the author himself form Hindi with new inputs, gives an insight into the multi-faceted personality of JP and his life-long struggle and dedication for the uplift of the downtrodden without ever nursing any personal ambition.
