About the Book
Courage & Commitment: A Life in Politics
Margaret Alva’s unflinchingly honest autobiography, Courage & Commitment, takes readers on a remarkable journey through her forty-year career in Indian politics, serving under four Prime Ministers—Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, P.V. Narasimha Rao, and Manmohan Singh. From a young woman inheriting a political legacy to a seasoned leader navigating the complexities of power, Alva’s story is one of resilience, defiance, and dedication to public service.
With candid reflections, she confronts the controversies that shaped her career—her 1979 expulsion from the Congress party, her clashes with Sanjay Gandhi, her pivotal role in Rajiv Gandhi’s final campaign, and her involvement in the Jain Hawala investigation while overseeing the CBI. “Politics is not for the faint-hearted, nor for those unwilling to speak their mind,” she writes, laying bare the behind-the-scenes struggles of governance, party dynamics, and personal battles.
Beyond politics, Courage & Commitment offers rare glimpses into the lives of towering political figures and global leaders. Set against the backdrop of Mangalore, Bangalore, New Delhi, and beyond, it is a deeply personal and revealing memoir of a woman who fought against odds, refused to be sidelined, and ultimately carved her own legacy in Indian politics.
“To survive in public life, one must have both—the courage to speak up and the commitment to stand by one’s convictions.”
