One thing we keep thinking about the years of turmoil of 90s India really didn't get much done. But come to think of it, it brought in some of the astute public servants to limelight. They could do things which with the political stable world would have been hard to achieve. This story of an able IAS officer who managed to survive the political battles yet try to bring in changes he could bring to the society was indeed remarkable. I think a very worthwhile read to understand the changing times of India. A must read.
