Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Indias Foreign Policy: 1977-2004: Initiatives, Policy [Hardcover]

Atal Bihari Vajpayeeand Indias Foreign Policy: 1977-2004: Initiatives, Policy Making and Achievementsexamines the life and work of a humanitarian, a visionary, an orator par excellence, a writer, a mass leader, and a Parliamentarian who is still revered by both members of his own party and by the opposition. Vajpayees long political career won him accolades as well as honors. Being closely associated with the Indian political arena from a very young age, Vajpayee with his knowledge, experience and charismatic persona became the Bhishma Pitamah of Indian politics. He had achieved few major milestones during his long political tenure in the Parliament of India. Atal Bihari Vajpayee was unarguably one of the best and most influential Prime Ministers of India, serving the nation for a full term (five years) and two short terms, having impressive contributions to the development of India. He played a very significant role in shaping the foreign policies of India. Vajpayees dedicated efforts to solve persistent and major issues in foreign policies are remarkable. His indomitable determination and spirit helped India to attain its justified place in international forum. Atal Bihari Vajpayees legacy is preserved and reproduced by successive leaders of India honoring his accomplishments.
