About the Book
Autobiography (1931–1967) by Karan Singh is a fascinating memoir that chronicles the formative years of one of India's most distinguished public figures. Covering the period from his birth in 1931 to 1967, the book offers an intimate account of his personal life alongside the dramatic political and historical events that shaped modern India, particularly the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir.

His reflections reveal the challenges of leadership during a period of rapid constitutional and social transformation.
