This centennial tribute to V.K. Krishna Menon is the work of many stalwarts who have presented unique vantage points from which to view Krishna Menonâ€™s incomparable stature. â€œ A great man arises and all things are put in placeâ€ said Ssu Ma-chien, the Han historian, about leaders who build a nation. This volume focuses on the multifaceted and international figures that Krishna Menon was and the indelible mark he left as statesman in the world of the twentieth century. These impressions in this volume will be treasured by all who appreciate the debt of gratitude India owes to this great patriot for her independence and several other countries of the world owe to his long, devoted and untiring efforts for world peace and understanding.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR H L Shukla

H.L. Shukla (b. 1939) has created, and for forty years he has dominated the field of Indology and modern linguistics.

His mastery of a huge literature is awe-inspiring: in current affairs, in linguistics, history, archaeology: anthropology, sociology, psychology, folklorology. He doesnâ€™t believe in heroes, but it is not surprising that for many he has become one. And there can be little disagreement that he has fulfilled his expressed hope that â€œIâ€™ve done something decent with my lifeâ€.
