It takes us through Tibet, Bhutan, and Sikkim at the height of the Sino-Indian conflict which destroyed Nehru's euphoric vision of Hindi-Chini unity; through Kenya engaged in the movement for self-determination and through Indonesia under Sukarno. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgainst the backdrop of a world rife with a Machiavellian ambience of 'spying, secrecy and cloak-and-dagger tactics', Apa Pant meditates on the world of mysticism, occult and spiritualism.  He narrates his encounters with this world - encounters which revealed to him a hitherto unknown perspective on life, compelled him to 'feel the full mystery that is life and death' and taught him to 'marvel at the magic moment of the present'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4100\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Apa Pant \/ Sangam Books \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40785354227881,"sku":"4100","price":16.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/5677.jpg?v=1625520788","url":"https:\/\/indiaclub.com\/de\/products\/4100-undiplomatic-incidents","provider":"The India Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
