Kanaiyalal Maneklal Munshi was a man of great versatility and unique achievements. He was an eminent lawyer, and (a seasoned statesman) one of the framers of India's Constitution. Coming under the inspiring influence of Sri Aurobindo during his student days, Munshi fought ardently for India's freedom. He worked in close association with Jinnah, Tilak, Besant, Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel and Pandit Nehru. His achievements as Home Minister of Bombay in 1937, India's Agent-General in Hyderabad before the Police Action, India's Food Minister and as Governor of Uttar Pradesh, were characterized by rare courage and decisive energy. Acknowledged during his lifetime as the foremost writer in modern Gujarati literature, his literary output was vast and varied and included novels, dramas, memoirs and historical books in Gujarati. He also wrote several historical and other works in English, notably Gujarat and Its Literature, Imperial Gujaras, Bhagavad Gita and Modern Life, Creative Art of Life, To Badrinath, Saga of Indian Sculpture, The End of An Era, Bhagawan Parashurama, Tapasvini and Prithvi Vallabh. Jaya Somanath deals with the story of the epic heroism of Bheemdev and the transcendental love of the temple dancer Chaula, for the brave warrior and was originally written in Gujarati by Munshiji. The entire novel, as translated into English by Shri H. M. Patel, I.C.S. (Retd.), was serialised in the Bhavan's Journal. The novel is now being brought out in book form for the benefit of wide readership.
