Madhukeshwar writes: " It was believed that once Desai had made up his mind, it was impossible to change it. But Shanti Bhushan, the law minister in his cabinet and a well-known senior advocate at the Supreme Court, told me something different: “When a cabinet minister had a view which differed from Morarjibhai's, he didn't impose his views and dismiss it. If logic and reasoning was shown, then he would go with the opinion of the minister and not his own.”
The great grandson writes: "A stubborn man with a cruel face, a man who stuck to his ideas and principles regardless of the situation, and a man of obstinacy and discipline who lived almost a century. This is how history remembers Morarji Desai. But should it be just that?"
