Four Decades through Thick & Thin: Musings of a Diplomat Part 4 – A Lone Tree in Gujarat

This eBook is the fourth volume in the series entitled “Four Decades Through Thick and Thin – Musings of a Diplomat”. The series is an autobiography of portions of the author's forty years of service with the Indian Foreign Service and its predecessor - the British Indian Foreign Service. While the earlier volumes dwell on the author's postings abroad, this particular volume is based in India – in Ahmedabad in the state of Gujarat, where the author was on special deputation from the Government of India. The author's sole India posting takes on a special significance as it has to do with fighting against corruption and thoughts on the importance of people in public office being selfless and committed in their service to the common man. .
