Diplomatic Tales: A Journey Through the Halls of Power
Revised Content:
Language: English Pages: 223 About The Book
The story goes, perhaps apocryphal, that one day the Ugandan dictator, Idi Amin, instructed his foreign minister to change the country's name to Idi, and to inform the UN and all other international bodies. A week passed, and President Amin then summoned the minister, asking if he had carried out the orders. The shivering Minister replied that there was a problem. When the president inquired about the problem, the Minister explained, "Your Excellency, there is a country called Cyprus, and its people are called Cypriots. If Uganda were to be called Idi, we would be called Idiots."
In his diplomatic career spanning more than three decades, K. Natwar Singh has encountered and interacted with numerous leaders, and he has a story to tell about most of them. In his book, "Walking With Lions: Tales from a Diplomatic Past," Singh presents fifty episodes that entertain, inform, and illuminate. Readers will find insights into the character and personality of prominent figures such as Indira Gandhi, Fidel Castro, Haile Selassie, and Zia-ul-Haq. The author also analyzes certain individuals, including Moraji Desai and Lord Mountbatten, with disarming candor, while expressing his admiration for leaders like C. Rajagopalalchari and Nelson Mandela. Additionally, the book offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into the interaction between the godman Chandraswami and the surprisingly submissive Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher. Beyond these political figures, the book also features short tributes to artists, writers, cricketers, and film stars, such as M.F. Hussain, Nadine Gordimer, Don Bradman, and Dev Anand.
Recounted with empathy and humor, this collection of encounters serves as a warm, unaffected, and reassuring reminder that even the great can be as fallible as the rest of us.
