The Forgotten Statesman: KM Panikkar with Narayani Basu

How does a towering personality become a mere footnote in national memory? In this episode of The Reading List, we sit down with historian and biographer Narayani Basu to discuss her new book, A Man For All Seasons: The Life of KM Panikkar, and explore why such a remarkable figure has faded from public memory.
India’s first ambassador to China, advisor to the princely states, pioneering architect of maritime policy, prolific writer, and poet; Panikkar shaped modern India and its place in the world.
With stories of diplomatic intrigue, literary brilliance, and a life dedicated to public service, this episode brings back into focus the legacy of a man who continues to influence India in ways often unseen.
