N2  - This edition of Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookerjee's biography was published in 2001 to mark his 100th birth anniversary. Dr Mookerjee was one of the remarkable figures who played a crucial role in Indian politics during the decades before and after independence. This book explores the life and career of a versatile genius who excelled in every field of activity he entered – as vice-chancellor of Calcutta University (1934-38), as the acting president of the Hindu Mahasabha (1940), as a parliamentarian and the first president of the Jana Sangh (1951-53) and as a crusader for the cause of Indian unity for which he laid down his life, under mysterious circumstances, in prison, on 23 June 1953
