The book, titled ‘Pranab, My Father: A Daughter Remembers’ authored by Sharmishtha Mukherjee. The book is being brought out by Rupa Publications. The book is also a mirror to the father-daughter relationship between Pranab Mukherjee and Sharmishtha. This and other nuggets of Mukherjee’s life from an unprepossessing village in West Bengal’s Birbhum district to a roller-coaster career thereafter are the highlights of an about-to-be-released biography penned by his daughter, classical dancer Sharmishtha Mukherjee.
Among the other details Sharmishtha Mukherjee has been able to glean from her father’s personal diaries as well as memories of her conversations with him include his unfulfilled ambition to become prime minister because of his inability to emerge as the ‘number one person’ to earn Sonia Gandhi’s trust, the personality cult around the Nehru-Gandhi family, Rahul Gandhi’s lack of charisma and political understanding, and Mamata Banerjee’s opposition to his nomination as the presidential candidate.
