A Touch of Greatness is an engaging account of R.M. Lala's association with some of India's greatest citizens. It includes the profiles of politicians, social activists, industrialists, religious leaders and artists, whose lives have demonstrated 'what one can live for ??? and what one can live by'. The book figures giants of modern India such as C. Rajagopalachari, Jayaprakash Narayan, J.R.D. Tata, Morarji Desai and Vinoba Bhave. It also profiles the Dalai Lama, Azim Premji, Narayana Murthy, Nani Palkhivala and Sam Manekshaw who embody compassion, endeavour, intellect and selflessness. It also includes a moving tribute to the author's father. A Touch of Greatness is a tribute to an array of men who share one thing: a dedicated contribution towards making the country, indeed, the world, a better place.
