Support The Interview with Karan Thapar - [ Ссылка ]
A subject that has never been discussed publicly and certainly has not been written about before is carefully assessed and analyzed in the recently published first volume of a 2-part major biography of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. I am referring to Mr. Vajpayee’s adulterous relationship with Rajkumari Kaul, who was at the same time married to Birjan Kaul, the warden of the boy’s hostel at Ramjas College in Delhi. The book is called ‘Vajpayee: The Ascent of the Hindu Right 1924-1977’ and confirms that Vajpayee and Kaul had a child out of wedlock in August 1960 called Namita nicknamed Gunnu. As the book says: “As she grew older, Gunnu’s facial features began to resemble her father’s (but) on paper, she was to be the warden’s daughter ... Vajpayee may have felt the void of not being able to officially call himself a father, though Gunnu began calling him ‘Baap ji’.”
