KBC Offline Quiz: Which of the following book is written by MO Mathai?
a. Gandhi and Stalin
b. History
c. Reminiscences of the Nehru Age
d. The Glass Palace
Answer: c. Reminiscences of the Nehru Age
Written by M.O.Mathai, who had served as Nehru’s special assistant (Personal Assistant – PA) for almost a decade & a half (between 1946 & 1959), it gives the reader some first-hand information on several anecdotes, facts & historical references. It is an engaging read in which Mathai effortlessly takes the reader back in time and narrates his encounters & experiences with different leaders in a very blunt & unforgiving style. Neatly divided into isolated chapters, he speaks out his mind (personal opinions along with anecdotes & some facts) about each leader per chapter.
