• Description :
  The ascent to power of Himanta Biswa Sarma, who became Assam's chief minister in May 2021, signifies significant changes in Indian politics. After a protracted tenure in the Congress party, he emerged as a potent regional leader within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), demonstrating the shift in Indian politics from being centred around the Congress to being centred around the BJP. His ascent also represents the way Indian politics are gradually escaping the dynastic grip and becoming a field of merit. Himanta's ascent further demonstrates the BJP's metamorphosis into a party that flourishes outside the cow belt and develops talent outside the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Himanta's story is one of many twists and turns, of movements and mentors, of battles and allegiances, from the boy wonder of the Assam Agitation to the student leader who upended things, from the cunning backroom operator to the perfect administrator, and from mass leader and ideologue to a chief minister. There is much more to this story than just one man and his condition. The first and most thorough biography of Himanta Biswa Sarma, the Chief Minister of Assam.
