	Atal Bihari Vajpayee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vajpayee is a native of Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh and has been active in Indian politics throughout his adult life (as a member of parliament, he has often resided in Delhi).
		Minister Vajpayee represented the nation at the International Disarmament Conference, where he defended the national nuclear program (India had become the 6th nuclear power in the world with one underground nuclear test in Pokhran in 1974), the centerpiece of national security in the Cold War world, especially as China was a nuclear power.
		Vajpayee's government is criticized over its ignorance of the issues and concerns of India's poor millions, over the famous corruption scandals, and the episodes of communal violence and rise of both Hindu and Muslim radicalism in politics.

		Perhaps alone in the BJP leadership, Mr Vajpayee is seen as a statesman and a pragmatist, capable of initiatives reaching far beyond the Hindu nationalist political agenda.
		Hardliners in the BJP are also ill at ease with Mr Vajpayee's liberal economic policies which have opened India's economy and brought the country closer to the West.

		Vajpayee stated that Musharraf came "as a military man with a specific self-serving goal and was not serious about restoring peace" between India and Pakistan.
		Vajpayee faced opposition to his proposed confidence building measure, the opening of additional locations along the India-Pakistan border for issuing travel visas, because of concerns that this would spread areas affected by cross-border terrorism.
		Indian Prime Minister A.B Vajpayee said that future India-Pakistan talks could be complicated by Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's assertions to the press that a joint declaration could not be signed at the Agra summit because of a split in the Indian government caused by hardliners.

		And yet Mr Vajpayee ended a six-year innings as a leader who was perhaps more popular in Pakistan than he was at home.
		This acceptance of the BJP seems to accompany a perceptible aloofness, bordering on a degree of distrust towards the ruling Congress Party, a far cry from the adulation that Nehru experienced.
		When Mr Vajpayee looked invincible in the saddle, there were newspaper headlines about a Pakistani tailor planning to stitch a handsome 'sherwani' for him.

	Atal Bihari Vajpayee - A Profile
		Shri Vajpayee was Prime Minister of India from May 16-31, 1996 and a second time from March 19, 1998 to May 13, 2004.

		Founder-member of the erstwhile Jana Sangh (1951), President, Bharatiya Jana Sangh (1968-1973), leader of the Jana Sangh parliamentary party (1955-1977) and a founder-member of the Janata Party (1977-1980), Shri Vajpayee was President, BJP (1980-1986) and the leader of BJP parliamentary party during 1980-1984, 1986 and 1993-1996.

	Asia Times: India: The two corners of A B Vajpayee's mouth
		What exactly beset Vajpayee for him to say on Wednesday, in Hindi, "Ayodhya mein Ram mandir ka nirman ek rashtriya bhavna ka prakatikaran ka kaam tha, weh abhi poora nahin hua" (In Ayodhya, the Ram temple construction project is the expression of nationalist feelings, the work has not yet been completed), we don't know.
		As regrettable as Vajpayee's ramblings is his government's refusal to see Pakistan included in any talks with the main Kashmiri separatist alliance, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC), on the grounds that three-way talks are impossible as long as Pakistan provides military support to the "terrorists" operating in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
		Perhaps Mr Vajpayee should get out a history book and inform himself more closely about that cynical mid-1850s colonialist strategy before he plays into such games that could put his country's unity at risk and at the same time undermine his Kashmir peace effort.

		Vajpayee's first brush with nationalist politics was in his student days when he joined the Quit India Movement of 1942, which hastened the end of British colonial rule.
		Vajpayee had embarked upon a journalist's career, which was cut short in 1951 when he joined the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the forerunner of today's Bharatiya Janata Party, the leading component of the National Democratic Alliance.
		Born in the family of a humble school teacher on December 25 1924, in the erstwhile princely State of Gwalior (now a part of Madhya Pradesh), Vajpayee's rise in public life is a tribute to both his political acumen and Indian democracy.

		The rebuke was preceded by the visit to Pakistan by some eminent Deobandi leaders from India to attend a Deobandi conference in Peshawar in April and by the Imam of the Jumma Masjid in New Delhi to meet the leaders of the traditional Islamic parties of Pakistan such as the Jammat-e-Islami (JEI).
