520			_aA brilliant lawyer, eloquent parliamentarian, and visionary reformer, Arun Jaitley stood apart for his rare combination of political acumen and human warmth. Whether as the BJP’s master strategist, the nation’s finance minister, or the Opposition’s most articulate voice, he was known for his clarity of thought, persuasive diplomacy and unwavering integrity. His gentle manner and incisive intellect made him the bridge between differing ideologies, a man trusted across party lines. As finance minister, Jaitley oversaw landmark transformations—most notably the Goods and Services Tax, which unified India into a single common market, and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, which reshaped corporate India. Yet, beyond these historic reforms, his enduring legacy lay in his ability to build consensus, inspire respect, and lead with empathy. In this definitive portrait of one of India’s most influential and admired public figures, Sumant Batra chronicles his journey from a spirited student activist in the 1970s to one of the most powerful voices in Indian politics. Crafting a compelling narrative of intellect, conviction, and grace, Batra brings alive not just the public achievements but also the private warmth of a man who combined political brilliance with personal grace. Insightful and engaging, The Life and Legacy of Arun Jaitley is both a tribute to and a study of a statesman whose life embodied intellect, civility, and an unshakeable commitment to nation-building. - From publisher.
