Manohar Parrikar: The man with humble roots

Manohar Parrikar: The man with humble roots

Manohar Parrikar led a spartan lifestyle despite being Chief Minister of Goa on four different occasions. An IITian by graduate he began his innings in politics by winning Panaji Assembly seat. He oversaw surgical strike launched across border in 2017 in the capacity of Defence Minister. A surgical strike that nailed the terror masters who were toying with the idea of launching another assault on India. His intent was crystal clear: Be honest and express gratitude for the assignment on hand.

He believed in simplicity and compatibility. He was a lone warrior in political theatre who was not swayed by supremacy that office  of Chief Minister and Defence Minister initiated. The power template that his innings in politics delivered he used it to perfection to bring comfort to the masses. A mass leader with wide appeal he will be remembered for his simplicity. Shenanigans that power accumulation cultivates didn't pin him down. He brought grace and dignity to the office he presided over.
