The event underscored JLF’s magnetic pull for thought leaders. Dhankhar, drawing from his vice-presidential tenure, praised the book’s dissection of institutional decay. ‘It reveals the unbecoming truths we often ignore,’ he noted, prompting nods from the erudite crowd. Authored by a figure steeped in governance, the narrative fuses personal memoir with sharp socio-political commentary. As the sun sets over Jaipur’s pink hues, JLF pulses with energy, reminding us that literature thrives when it confronts power.
