  Inder Kumar Gujral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inder Kumar Gujral (born 4 December 1919) was the twelfth Prime Minister of the Republic of India.
The Gujral Government was sadly in the mire of a very fractious, chaotic stage in the evolution of democracy in India, and failed to achieve any particular goal towards national progress and public welfare.
However, I.K. Gujral had the distinct privilege and honor of leading the country in its 50th year of independence, a year of pride and major celebrations of the country's diversity, vibrant cultural fabric, achievements of the past five decades, and of course, honoring the national freedom struggle and its veterans.
