Sarat Chandra Sinha (1 January 1914 – 25 December 2005) was an Indian politician and Chief Minister of Assam.[1] He was a leader of Indian National Congress, Indian National Congress (Socialist) and Nationalist Congress Party.
He was known for his value-based politics, Sinha belonged to a rare breed of politicians who sacrificed his life for the welfare of the downtrodden people of Indian society.[2] A true Gandhian, he never compromised with his principle what he preached and practised.[3] His illustrious political life was a rare combination of honesty, simplicity and integrity.[citation needed] He was also a writer.[4]
