Pranab Mukherjee: A Self-Styled Constitutional Purist.

 

Former president of India and an eminent politician was the living example of what is called transcending self. His thoughts were never obstruct by self. A true karmyogi is the one who dedicates his self to his work, and that was Pranab Mukerjee .He dedicated his life to the work, before him, stands nationality and humanity. He was a positive reflection of every person before him or even a crowd.

Transcendence of the self is the last frontier in human quest for emancipation and Pranab Mukherjee had crossed it so long ago that he could never notice it.

A five decade long political career, and after administering multiple offices, he became the president of India. A quintessential politician who rose to become the president of India after a remarkable political career. He was a conservative politician and a self-styled constitutional purist with unmatched experience in government and the fine art of statecraft. He was never a mass leader but had commanded the unrivalled respect and admiration of his peers across the political divide.

An erudite and astute politician, fondly called Pranab Da by his colleagues, who graced the situations even when things did not side with him. To recall a memory of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, 'Pranab ji was one of the most distinguished colleagues I had. He had every reason to feel a grievance that he was better qualified than I was to become the prime minister' an excellent politician like him will always hold a dear place to the heart of the nation.
