Droupadi Murmu, India’s second woman president has led an inspirational life, going from a small tribal community in Uparbeda, Odisha, to taking a sortie in a Sukhoi 30 MKI fighter aircraft. Did her ‘Johar!’ greeting in her first presidential greetings make you feel hopeful of a new beginning? Then Kasturi Ray’s book, Droupadi Murmu: From Tribal Hinterlands to Raisina Hills should be on your reading list. It documents the journey of India’s first president from a tribal community, and the second woman after Pratibha Patil. Murmu’s story is one of grit, unfailing determination and extraordinary courage, penned meticulously by journalist and author Kasturi Ray. This is a book that you would like to pass on to the next generation, because it documents an important character of India’s political history and national identity.
