    Beyond Punjab is one of the three volumes – Punjabi Century (1857 to 1947), Beyond Punjab (1937 to 1960) and Return to Punjab (1961 to 1987) - authored by Prakash Tandon. These volumes collectively known as Punjabi Saga tell the story of five generations of a Punjabi family. The Saga is part autobiography, part social and business history of India during the last decade under the British, part family chronicle, and part analysis of public and private institutions in India, part history of Hindustan Lever Limited (now Hindustan Unilever Limited) and part record of Indian Manager’s career in management. It is very well-written in a clear plain style and simple language, with an eye to details. It is socio-economic history at its very best. It captures the life of five generations of Punjabi family from the time the British came to India in 1852 outside the city walls of Gujarat, till they left in 1947 and India’s socio economic picture till late 20th century. Punjabi Century gives a remarkable account of the way of life in the Punjab. In the second part, Beyond Punjab, the author describes the time he had spent with the Hindustan Lever where he became the first national Chairman outside their home companies in England, Netherlands and America. Return to Punjab tells about his association with the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, the State Trading Corporation of India, Punjab National Bank and National Council of Applied Economic Research.…
