RAHUL : THE FIRST AUTHORITATIVE BIOGRAPHY BY JATIN GANDHI & VEENU SANDHU (HARDCOVER)

About the Book: Rahul: Biography of Rahul Gandhi Perceptions of Rahul Gandhi range from the great hope of the nation in some quarters, to that of an over-promoted dynastic scion at the other end of the continuum. Everyone has an opinion, but the man himself remains opaque, his public persona confined to positions on political events, policies or programmes. Who is Rahul Gandhi-the real man-beneath both the hype and the hatchet jobs? What are the ideas and influences that propel him in his pursuit of political goals and in his stated objective of transforming the Congress party into a contemporary, democratic organization? Who are his advisors? Two young journalists, Jatin Gandhi and Veenu Sandhu, who have covered Gandhi since he entered the political arena, trace the evolution of the Rahul brand and explore the relationship, peculiar to Indian politics, between modernity and dynasty.
