Sangma pennning autobiography

Tura (Meghalaya), Feb 23 (PTI) A tribesman from a Northeastern hinterland who went on to make a name for himself in Indian politics, former Lok Sabha speaker Purno A Sangma is busy these days penning down his life's journey, political and otherwise.

The book, titled 'Beyond Reservation', will delve as much into his rich and varied experiences of life as into tribal communities across the world.

Planning to release his autobiography in September, Sangma said the book would give a message to every tribal that they should not be content with reservation. They should instead strive for making a mark on their own.

The book will also give an account of many Northeasterners who made it big in life and made the country proud as well, he said.
