History

Historical Context

India’s constitutional practice of appointing state governors—who act as the president’s representatives—has long produced national leaders. K. R. Narayanan, elected vice-president in August 1992 and president on 17 July 1997 with 95 % of the electoral college, rose from diplomatic service to the nation’s highest office. Today, Dr. Dhal Singh Bisen’s swearing-in as Uttarakhand governor, witnessed by Anand Bardhan, continues that pathway.
