## Bio

Born in Punjab in 1919, Inder Kumar Gujral came up through student politics and the Communist Party, then spent time in British jails during the Quit India movement. After independence he shifted to the Congress party in 1964 and entered the Rajya Sabha. He served as Minister of Information and Broadcasting during the Emergency, then as Ambassador to the Soviet Union in 1976. Two decades later, as External Affairs Minister in the Deve Gowda government, he articulated what became the Gujral doctrine—a framework for regional diplomacy that shaped India's approach to South Asia. In April 1997 he was appointed prime minister; the government fell inside a year. He retired from politics in 1998 and died in 2012 at 92, weeks before his 93rd birthday, after a lung infection.
