Synopsis The story of my life essentially focuses on how politics destroyed an assiduously built industrial empire; how I fought a long but unsuccessful legal battle for getting my textile mills back; and how in eventually succeeded in reinventing life in the very industry I always loved. This book would not only help the younger generation understand India's industrial history and the roots of its own entrepreneurial abilities but would also inspire some of the few remaining entrepreneurs of my generation to record their histories and share their rich experience, besides warning present and future governments about the dangers of unnecessary meddling in affairs of industry and trade.
