"The Iron Man of Bihar-K.B. Sahay (Harnessing Social Change through Agrarian Reforms)"

K.B. Sahay is a political figure long forgotten in the labyrinth of caste based socio-political spectrum of Bihar, which has witnessed major waves of social change leading to major political shift after 1990. The agrarian reforms initiated by K.B. Sahay just after independence triggered this social change. This book, a biographical sketch of this noted leader, gives valuable insight into the process of social change. K.B. Sahay was an able administrator and a leader who accorded top priority to the industrial development of Bihar. He took up the battle right into the court of the central government and crossed swords with then central leadership for the industrial development of the state, just as he waged a lone battle to abolish Zamindari and harness an era of social change. He was a visionary who worked tirelessly for the economic uplift of Biharis and Bihar. His resoluteness and his steely determination earned him the title 'Iron Man of Bihar'. Unfortunately, there have been no documen-tation of the life and work of this legendary public figure. This biographical sketch aims to bridge this gap, presenting the lesser-known aspects of K.B. Sahay's life and provides insight into this remarkable personality.
