Book Overview
About the Book: JP Movement-Emergency and India's Second Freedom Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan was born on 11 October 1902 in Sitabdiara, a village on the border of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. He married Prabhavati in 1920 but could not have children due to the vow of celibacy taken by her under influence of Mahatma Gandhi. JP was a dreamer and an idealist to a fault. It was Maulana Abul Kalam Azad's fiery oratory and his call to, \"lift up to the skies like leaves before a storm\" that drew JP to the freedom movement. JP wanted to overhaul the entire Indian society. For him, the political system had to be responsive to the aspirations of the poorest of the poor; the glaring in equalities that our economic system breeds had to end; the educational system should be geared to the needs of the nation; the canker of corruption in India's political and administrative system had to be eradicated; the various social ills that afflict our country had to end.
