In its brief existence of about four years, between 1971 and 1975, ʻThe Motherlandʼ, edited by K.R. Malkani (1921-2003) achieved rare distinction and recognition in the world of journalism. It established itself as a fearless and uninhibited voice of the nation, relentlessly exposing the decay seeping into India’s body-politic by the early 1970s. In that respect ʻThe Motherland’sʼ advocacy of ʻIndia Firstʼ and its unalloyed articulation of India’s national interest remain unsurpassed. It was also its strident and uncompromising criticism of the Indira Congress and the Prime Minister’s ways, which eventually led Indira Gandhi to shut it down at the first given opportunity after she imposed the Emergency. ʻThe Motherlandʼ was, “The only paper in India to announce on 26th June the imposition of the Emergency, arrest of leaders and the wave of national shock.” This collection of K.R.Malkani’s columns in ʻThe Motherlandʼ offers an insight into Indian politics and society in the years just before Emergency was imposed by Indira Gandhi. It is a record of India’s political history a quarter century after independence and is a very useful reckoner for the general reader for understanding the years that led to the imposition of the Emergency.

भारत के प्रथम सी.डी.एस. जनरल बिपिन रावत अदम्य इच्छाशक्ति और अपूर्व दूरदृष्टि-संपन्न महायोद्धा थे । अपने सैन्य जीवन में उन्होंने प्रखत्ता और तेजस्विता के साथ नेतृत्व किया। उन्हें मालूम था कि वे जिस मिशन पर आगे बढ़ रहे हैं, वह देशहित के लिए है, दूरदर्शी व दूरगामी है; भारतीय सेना के भविष्य की बेहतरी के लिए है। भले ही यह उनके लिए काँटों भरा ताज रहा हो, पर वे कभी नहीं डिगे। उन्होंने सेनाओं में जितने भी सुधार लागू किए, उन्हें पहले खुद पर भी लागू किया। सेनाओं में नैतिक मूल्यों और भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ उन्होंने 'जीरो टॉलरेंस' की नीति अपनाई। वे सेनाओं में 'मेक इन इंडिया' के सबसे बड़े पुरोधा थे। उन्होंने डी.आर. डी.ओ. और सेनाओं के भीतर अंतर्विरोध के बावजूद देश में हथियार और सैन्य साजो-सामान बनाने पर पूरा जोर दिया। जनरल बिपिन रावत का विराट व्यक्तित्व, दृढ़ चरित्र और बेहतरीन कार्य कौशल, अतिसामान्य सरल व्यवहार, सबकुछ इतना स्वाभाविक और गैर-बनावटीपन वाला तथा प्रभावोत्पादक था कि जो उनसे एक बार भी मिलता, सहज ही प्रभावित हो जाता। उनकी सैन्य रणनीतियाँ, कार्य-तत्परता, अध्ययन, विश्लेषण, बेखौफ, बेलौस, बेबाक बयानगी, उनकी कर्मशीलता, उनकी मानवीय न्यायप्रियता तथा भ्रष्टाचार के प्रति जीरो टॉलरेंस किसी भी निष्पक्ष और निरपेक्ष को उनके पक्ष में कर देता था। भारतीयों के गौरवपुरुष जनरल बिपिन रावत के पराक्रमी और प्रेरक जीवन की यशोगाथा है यह कृति।
