About the Book

By Many a Happy Accident: The Journey of M. Hamid Ansari


One of the most-awaited memoirs of the year, By Many a Happy Accident is a compelling account of M. Hamid Ansari’s extraordinary journey from academia to diplomacy and, ultimately, to the second-highest office in India. A life shaped by unplanned yet pivotal turns, Ansari’s story is a testament to dedication, intellect, and public service.


From his distinguished career as a diplomat to his two consecutive terms as Vice President—an honor shared only with Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan—Ansari offers an insightful perspective on governance, constitutional values, and the evolving political landscape of modern India. “Public life, like diplomacy, requires both patience and conviction—one to listen, the other to act when it matters most,” he reflects.


Beyond his role as Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, he used his position as a platform to advocate for justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity—values enshrined in the Indian Constitution. His candid observations on identity, security, and empowerment make this memoir both thought-provoking and timely.


With its blend of personal anecdotes, political insights, and reflections on India’s democratic ethos, By Many a Happy Accident is an engaging and significant read, offering a rare glimpse into the workings of power and governance in the world’s largest democracy.
