Description

Brilliant, erudite, and well-read with a sharp mind and a keen eye, V.P. Raman, or VPR, as he was known to his friends, was a maverick lawyer of his time. He straddled many fields besides law, including politics and cinema. This biographical account written by his son, P.S. Raman, or Bharat, as he is also called, began with the exciting discovery of documents that detailed the life of the Raman family from the time of the Patriarch, A.V. Raman. Bharat, who discovered the papers documenting his family history during the lockdown engendered by COVID-19, put pen to paper in telling the Raman Family Saga. The result is a delightful account of the family’s history, including that of its women, especially the feisty Sundaram, who was a tennis player in the 1920s and 30s. This biography of VPR is rich in anecdotes that detail the historical backdrop of not just Dravidian politics and cinema but also the man’s close encounters with personalities who shaped the country in turbulent times. With a foreword by Shri K.K. Venugopal, Attorney General for India, this book is a must-read not just for those who enjoy biographies, but for judgments as well as anecdotal accounts of court encounters that make this book enjoyable for students of law.
