Biju Patnaik

What does one make of a man who flew a daring sortie into Dutch occupied Indonesia and sneaked away their Prime Minister? Or made equally daring sorties into Kashmir during the first India Pakistan war in 1947? Or a man who set up industries all over Odisha? Biju Patnaik was not just a political leader, he was also an aeronautical engineer, a fighter pilot, an industrialist and fought for freedom too. He was a true nationalist, and yet the interests of his beloved Odisha, always were close to his heart. A man of unimpeachable integrity, and a visionary, that was Biju Patnaik.
