Abstract

The upcoming biography of Pranab Mukherjee, titled 'Pranab, My Father: A Daughter Remembers', written by his daughter Sharmishtha Mukherjee, reveals various aspects of his life and career. The book draws extensively from Mukherjee's personal diaries and includes details such as his advice to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to acknowledge the contributions of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. It also discusses his unfulfilled ambition to become prime minister due to his inability to earn Sonia Gandhi's trust, the personality cult around the Nehru-Gandhi family, Rahul Gandhi's lack of charisma and political understanding, and Mamata Banerjee's opposition to his nomination as the presidential candidate. The biography provides insights into the father-daughter relationship between Pranab Mukherjee and Sharmishtha and offers a multigenerational narrative of his journey from a village in West Bengal to the political capital of India.
