Enjoying this new book. Not sure will have time for the whole thing but recommended! “It is this partnership between Vajpayee and Advani that this book employs as a vehicle to study the Bharatiya Janata Party” 
““They had little in common: one poor, the other rich; one orthodox, the other freewheeling; one provincial, the other anglicized; one a Gangetic Brahmin, the other a Karachi Sindhi.”
““This English-medium education converted Advani into a Macaulayputra. The phrase literally means ‘son of Macaulay’, after the nineteenth-century British politician”
““When Nehru was introducing Vajpayee, he said: ‘This is one of our future prime ministers.’ Khrushchev replied: ‘Then what is he doing here? In our country, we send them to the Gulag.”
