New Delhi, Aug 11: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release former President Ram Nath Kovind’s autobiography on Wednesday, offering readers a personal look at the journey that took him from a modest upbringing to the country’s highest constitutional office.
Titled Triumph of the Indian Republic: My Life, My Struggles, the book is expected to provide an account of Kovind’s early life, public service and experiences during his tenure as the 14th President of India.
The autobiography will be released at Vigyan Bhavan in New Delhi on Wednesday morning, with Prime Minister Modi scheduled to address the gathering.
For Kovind, the book brings together several chapters of a public life that began far from the corridors of power. His journey included work as a lawyer, service in Parliament and constitutional responsibilities before he went on to become Governor of Bihar and later President of India.
Kovind served as President from 2017 to 2022, becoming the second person from a Dalit community to hold the country's highest constitutional position.
The autobiography is expected to go beyond official milestones and explore the personal experiences, challenges and values that influenced Kovind throughout his life.
His story also reflects the opportunities created by India's democratic institutions, particularly for people from ordinary backgrounds to enter public life and rise to positions of national responsibility.
The book is likely to offer readers a more personal understanding of the man behind the constitutional office, including the experiences that shaped his views on public service, democracy and the country's development.
The release also comes at a time when interest in the personal journeys of India's former constitutional leaders remains strong, particularly among younger readers seeking to understand the people and experiences behind important public institutions.
By putting his experiences into his own words, Kovind's autobiography is expected to preserve a personal record of a journey that spans law, politics, public administration and the presidency.
The book's release will therefore be more than the launch of a political memoir. It will provide an opportunity to reflect on a life shaped by education, perseverance, public service and India's democratic system.
