Rasheed Kidwai est un auteur indien de non-fiction et journaliste, reconnu pour ses explorations perspicaces de récits politiques. Son expérience journalistique façonne son style d'écriture distinctif, qui explore le fonctionnement interne d'institutions et de figures politiques influentes. L'œuvre de Kidwai offre aux lecteurs une perspective unique sur les dynamiques du pouvoir et de la politique en Inde.
In this candid account of her life, Kidwai assesses not just her own contribution to public life, but also provides an honest appraisal of the turn in fortunes of the political party she has remained a loyal member of. The reader is treated to rare glimpses into the homes, lives and the hurly-burly of election campaigns over the decades.
Subsequent events-which included a botched police investigation, bungling by the lower judiciary, mysterious deaths of the accused and the principal investigator, and Indira Gandhi's inexplicable silence-led to the rise of several conspiracy theories.
