The author said, "I decided to compile a book about my father after I received many requests to write about him. He was a simple man — honest and brave," said Shastri .

"This book has three aspects of his life – political, social and religious. And of course there is mention about the father and son relationship," added Shstri.

The book is originally written in English, titled Lal Bahadur Shastri: Lessons in Leadership, which was released by Dalai Lama. The same book was then translated in to Hindi which was released by Anna Hazare and on Saturday, Gujarati translation of this book was released by Ela Bhall, titled Lal Bahadur Shastri: Netritvana Sutra.
