The author has beautifully captured the Emergency period in India, the effects on Sanjay Gandhi and his short lived career, and its effects on the present political scenario. A well-researched book, it reveals the deep-rooted secrets and myths about late Sanjay Gandhi, his relationships with his political family and the nation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe book narrates the story of how Sanjay’s father, Feroze Gandhi, who often visited the Nehru house Anand Bhavan in Allahabad, had a congenial relationship with the family, particularly with Kamla Nehru and Indira. The volatile nature of Sanjay Gandhi is derived from his father. The book reveals Sanjay Gandhi’s obsession with cars and how that affected the forming of the Maruti factory. It portrays Sanjay Gandhi’s political career from emerging robustly after the Emergency period and becoming the Youth Congress leader. It examines in detail the rumours about Sanjay Gandhi during his political rise and does away with the myths created by the media about him. It also portrays in detail the overdose of the sterilisation campaign which was Sanjay Gandhi’s dream project to come to power and fame. The book tells the story of the rise and fall of the short lived political career that Sanjay Gandhi could carve till his fatal death.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Sanjay Story was published by HarperCollins in 2012.
