Lal Bahadur Shastri rose from poor circumstances to be the second prime minister of India. Added to the personal challenge of matching the stature of his predecessor, Pandit Nehru, a leader of international repute, Lal Bahadur Shastri had to face a number of obstacles when he assumed office. Slowly and steadily and with his characteristic cool, not only did he measure up to all these challenges, but he also demonstrated that he could be tough when the occasion demanded.The life story of this great son of India is depicted for our young readers in this Amar Chitra Katha.
