#AshokLavasa is a former #electioncommissioner of India and a retired IAS officer. He previously served as India’s finance secretary, civil aviation secretary, and environment, forests and climate change secretary, among other roles. He speaks with Newslaundry’s Abhinandan Sekhri about his new book, An Ordinary Life: Portrait of an Indian Generation.
Ashok says he was inspired by this question to write the book: “If you look back at the past, can you find a few things which can then influence your future and generally have a better society or a better quality of life?”
The discussion also spans Ashok’s father being a man of principle, his experience of being election commissioner, his opinion on #EVMs, and a lot more.
