Father Dearest: The Life and Times of R. K. Dalmia

About the Book

A GRIPPING BIOGRAPHY OF A BUSINESS TYCOON

A gripping biography of R.K. Dalmia, the most flamboyant business tycoon that India has produced in the last century. Like a meteor, he flashed across the firmament in a blaze of glory before being reduced to the ashes of ignominy in a prison, convicted of fraud. An odd mixture of puritanism and profligacy, and a sadist who tortured his family of six wives and eighteen children, he broke all the laws of God and man.
