My Times An Autobiography

Jiwantram Bhagwandas Kripalani or Acharya Kripalani, was one of the major figures in Congress during the Indian struggle for independence. His life spanned almost a century. As a young man, he was witness to the astonishing rise of Mahatma Gandhi and the pinnacle of the Indian freedom movement and in his later years, he would see India nearly lose her hard-earned democracy as the Emergency was imposed.
