The author had the privilege of witnessing the making of history in the times and tenures of all the Prime Ministers of India from behind his camera.
Prem Prakash is a pioneer in Indian journalism and during his long career has covered some of the most important stories of post-Independence India including the 1962 war with China, the 1965 and 1971 wars against Pakistan, the Emergency, the assassination of Indira Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri’s fateful Tashkent journey.
