Lal Bahadur Shastri:Past Forward is an English version of Sunil's earlier book in Hindi, Lal Bahadur Shastri-Mere Babuji. The book is a son's grateful tribute to his father who had instilled in him not only the virtues of honesty, integrity and commitment, but also love and concern for the millions of poor people of India. It rewinds four decades of Indian history when Shastriji was an active participant in the national affairs and brings it forward to 25 years after his demise. This book, epitomizing the life of Lal Bahadur Shastri, is addressed to young and old as it captures the essence of a wholesome relationship between father, mother and their son. It is a must-read book for readers of all ages—for the modern youth it reveals the beauty and elegance of simple living; for the adult it provides an insight into honesty and ethicality in political life so bankrupt in contemporary times while for the older persons it is a nostalgic return to that era when all these Gandhian values were lived through by great leaders like Shastriji.
