Paramesar Haksar, friend of Feroze Gandhi,
Allahabad Kashmiri, prominent member of the Indian Students' Societies in Great Britain,
career diplomat, a classical scholar and a strategist hiding the song of socialism in his
chest. He fitted like a glove in Indira Gandhi's quick march to the left, in which he was
the young prime minister's ace general as her principal secretary. Come the 1975 Emergency
and Sanjay Gandhi, the new broom, pushed him into everlasting oblivion.
