Jayaprakash Narayan and Nanaji Deshmukh. Two men, from different backgrounds, whose lives would come together during the Emergency. Both born on the same date.
Thread on their Jayanti. ImageImage
#JayaprakashNarayan was from Bihar’s Saran district, his father was a lower Government official, and he later went on to study in the US too. Nanaji on the other hand, was from Maharashtra’s Hingoli district, had a tough childhood., and later rose up the ranks of the RSS.
Their ideologies too differed, where JP was socialist, left leaning, Nanaji’s was more rooted in the Integral Humanism of the Jan Sangh. And yet their paths came together during the Emergency and events preceeding it.
