J. Sri Raman discusses the relevance of the new autobiography of India's far-right leader, Lal Krishna Advani: "These excerpts from Advani's just-published autobiography, 'My Country, My Life,' are of interest not just as evidence of the lead the far right took in forging the US-India 'strategic partnership,' of which so much is spoken and heard these days. The section of the book dealing with this subject is important, also, as an indication of the direction India's foreign policy can take in a not-too-distant future, if there is an upswing in the far right's political fortunes."
