Subimal Dutt, best known as India's longest-serving Foreign Secretary, is the subject of the first academic biography in this book. It chronicles his remarkable life spanning nearly nine eventful decades, from his humble beginnings as a Bengali village boy to his distinguished career. Dutt navigated the challenging terrain of professional ambition and deep spirituality, never succumbing to the temptation of becoming one of the "brown Englishmen" so typical of South Asia's civil servants. Instead, he remained a strictly impartial, straightforward, and incorruptible officer of the "vernacular type." His intellect and discipline led him to the Indian Civil Service, where he excelled as an administrator and eventually moved into the field of foreign relations.
