Rising: 30 Women Who Changed India
Rising: 30 Women Who Changed India is a compelling memoir that traces the life and public service of H.M. Patel—from his entry into the Indian Civil Service in 1927 to his leadership as Finance Minister and Home Minister, guiding India through the perilous years leading up to and just after independence. Written for readers who love history, governance, and the personal stories behind major political milestones, the book carries a warm, reverent tone—educational, hopeful, and inspiring for students, history enthusiasts, and professionals alike.
In Rising: 30 Women Who Changed India, the life of H.M. Patel is presented in a clear, chronological arc that threads together pivotal events—the Labour government's victory in Britain, the Cabinet Mission, the formation of the Interim Government, and the harrowing days of the 1947 partition.
