DISRUPTOR Hardcover

"DISRUPTOR: How Vishwanath Pratap Singh Shook India" by Debashish Mukerji is a meticulously researched biography that re-examines the life and transformative, albeit brief, political career of India's seventh Prime Minister, V.P. Singh. The book delves beyond his most remembered act—implementing the Mandal Commission report for OBC reservations—to explore his relentless crusade against corruption as Finance and Defence Minister, his efforts to liberalize the economy, and his role in challenging political norms. Mukerji paints a detailed portrait of a complex leader who, despite often antagonizing both Congress and the BJP, fundamentally altered the course of Indian politics, offering crucial insights into a tumultuous period of the nation's history.
