520 _aRudyard Kipling said in an oft- quoted line: "Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet". During Dr. Singhvi's seven year diplomatic sojourn in the United Kingdom, the East and the West did meet, mix and mingle because of his radiant sense of India and his strong diplomatic presence. A Diplomatic Sojourn is a book about that memorable presence of Dr. Singhvi, representing the best of the East in the heart of the West. No wonder, the famous British poetess Kathleen Raine hails him as the Ambassador of Eternal India. A galaxy of the most distinguished contributors have written for this volume. Included in this book are essays, excerpts and photographs of events which bring to the readers many thumbnail pictures of that "golden phase of Indian diplomacy," including those of the Presidents of India, the British Royalty, and the Judiciary, Prime Ministers, Cabinet Ministers, Leaders of the Opposition, MPs, diplomats, poets, educationists and artists both of Britain and of India. Profusely pictorial, A Diplomatic Sojourn is primarily a book of episodic vignettes of Dr. Singhvi's seven years in the United Kingdom and seeks to unfold The Man and His Vision and his Horizons of Hope and Harmony.
