My Country My Life is an extraordinary self-portrait of India s leading political personality - L.K. Advani. As an immigrant who was forced to abandon his beloved Sindh, which became a part of Pakistan after India was partitioned in 1947, on the basis of the communally inspired Two Nation Theory , Advani gives a poignant first-person account of that tragedy. With a career spanning six decades as a political activist in post-1947 India, during which he has been a ring-side viewer of, and participant in, almost all the major socio-political developments in India, Advani is uniquely qualified to offer a perspective on independent India s political evolution. The apogee of Advani s achievement was his seminal contribution, together with his senior colleague Atal Bihari Vajpayee, to ending the Congress party s dominance over India s polity by building the Bharatiya Janata Party as a viable alternative for governing India. The book provides a riveting, insightful and assertive account of Advani s fight for democracy during the Emergency, his Ram Rath Yatra for the reconstruction of the Ram Temple at Ayodhya that resulted in the biggest mass movement in India since Independence and catalysed a nationwide debate on the true meaning of secularism, and his years as India s Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister in the Vajpayee-led government of the National Democratic Alliance between 1998-2004.

An overview of (modern) Indian political history
By Srikanth Chander Madani
This book is an exceptional compendium of the post-1947 history of (the Republic of) India. As far as the biography genre goes, it is neither as personal as Boswell, nor as humorous as Rousseau, and lacks the romantic-artistic insights of Berlioz. But then the author is no artist; instead one learns of a true patriot's efforts to serve his country. This account is unique, not only because of its broad perspective (it belongs to an Indian politician of unimpeachable integrity, who speaks at least three languages, has worked across the breadth of a country as diverse as Europe and has been involved in the history of India since its re-creation last century) but also because it is that of a true democrat. There is nothing of the romance of Hemmingway's fighter in Spain, or of the fiery youths who courted execution by Imperial Britain: but their passion is here reflected, played out instead over five decades of nation-building.
Especially for Indians who grew up in urban India in the 1980s and 1990s, with politics dominated by the Congress (I) and public opinion moulded by English-language print-media, this autobiography is vital, for it fearlessly looks at major historical and political milestones, starting with the partition of India, the assassination of Gandhi, the 1962 "border incident", the prevalence of corrupt politicians, dynasty politics, cultural identity, the tyrannical Emergency of the 70s, the Ram temple, market reform, nuclear testing, terrorism in Punjab and Kashmir and foreign relations, with a focus on immediate neighbours: military dictatorships in Pakistan, the Kargil war, the 1971 birth of Bangladesh and increasing trade with China.
Apart from two typographical (?) errors (Herold, instead of Harold, for a PM of GB; sic. for sic) and a surprising condemnation of a learned patriot early on, the photographs could have been better arranged, and graphs and visual devices used to reinforce historical timeline, especially given that the memoirs of contemporary politicians are often regarded as text-books.
I recommend this work to any student of Indian politics, economics or society, to everyone who loves India, and to any one who despises her; but mostly to those Indians who might have given up hope for their country.

A Bold Effort
By Rajkiran
Advani has done the country an enormous service in setting a trend of writing political memoirs. I hope other political leaders do it as honestly (some call it boldly) as he has done. Sure, there was a little touch of presenting himself as good but that is only natural in any autobiography.
What is commendable is that he did not hesitate from touching upon the controversial subjects esp. when his political career is still active.
The book also takes us through a wonderful journey of a political activist sticking to his convictions despite victories, defeats and opportunities. His candid assessment of loss of morals within his own party is truly admirable. I am not a person who reads books. This is my first book of over 300 pages and I've read it in less than four days. Such a gripping story it was!
India is indebted to a politician like him who single-handedly responsible for taking it from a democratic monarchy to a bipolar democracy. We hope he will succeed in making this country a strong, secure, and a morally correct model for the world.
Wish him good luck and awaiting for the part II of the book.

A must for every Indian's political education
By Saurav Basu
`My Country, My Life' is the memoirs of one of contemporary India's most senior, charismatic and controversial politicians who at eighty, is as active in political life as he was six decades ago when he began his career as a swayamsevak of the RSS.
Advani has been the chief ideologue of the right wing, BJP - the party which has grown from a mere two Parliamentary seats in 1984, to the single largest party in 1996, and to its crowing glory of leading the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the centre, which was India's first non-Congress government to last its full term in power.
The book spanning almost 1000 pages is immensely readable even for a political novice due to its intrinsic jargon-free nature. The clarity of thought and idea is impressive. He discusses controversial issues and political opponents with a great degree of calmness and poise.
Although some critics have claimed that Advani's book is an exercise in image makeover, there is nothing in the book to suggest this idea, as there is no deviation on fundamental issues from his publically-stated position. This is a much welcome work as it puts in black and white the position of the mainstream Hindu right. In the absence of a written record of the official position, it has often been grossly misinterpreted - sometimes in plain ignorance by many western academicians, but mostly willfully by politically-motivated, Hindu-hating, leftist ideologues.
Advani in discussing pivotal episodes of India's last 50 years from partition, to the age of the Nehruvian blunders consummating in the Sino Indian War, the emergency raj of Indira and its resistance from jail, leading free India's largest mass movement in Ayodhya, making India nuclear, fighting the pseudosecular Muslim appeasing anti-national parties of India, the myths and truths of Godhra has them accurately represented, quite in contrast to the academically dishonest methods of those leftist-marxists like Bipin Chandra and Ramachandra Guha whose ideological servitude involves them frequently indulging in half truths and bowdlerizations.
All in all, this book is not only an immensely readable first-person account of the events, ideas, and influences that have shaped the political life of one of independent India's most senior politicians, but only an insightful insider's analysis of the political events and decisions that have determined the destiny of India right from the dawn of independence to the present times.
