C K Daphtary (1893-1983) became a legend in his lifetime: one of India's great lawyers, equally renowned for his wit and humor in court and outside (collected in this book). He was the second Attorney General for India. A vigorous defender of an independent judiciary and the rule of law, he opposed the Emergency of 1975 in his writings and public speeches. His letter to his granddaughter, illustrated with his sketches, reveals his caring nature and talent as a caricaturist. This book has been compiled as a tribute to the memory of a Renaissance man who was a titan in the world of Law.
