Kuldip Sharma, joined Indian Police Service in 1976 and was allotted the Gujarat
cadre. He has served as Superintendent of Police in four different districts of
Gujarat and has had first hand experience of metropolitan policing during his
assignment as Commissioner of Police at Rajkot, Vadodara and Surat. During the
high noon of militant activity in the country, he was chosen to head the
Anti-Terrorist Squad at a time when Gujarat was categorized as one of the six
most hypersensitive states.
While on deputation to the Central Government, he saw service in Jammu &
Kashmir. He has also worked as Home Secretary as well as Commissioner of
Prohibition and Excise Department, Gujarat State. On elevation to the rank of
Additional Director General of Police, he was assigned to the Criminal
Investigation Department. In 2011 he moved, for the second time, on deputation
to the Central Government and was posted as Director General, Bureau of Police
Research and Development, New Delhi. On superannuation he was appointed Advisor
in the Ministry of Home Affairs. The variety of assignment and depth, resulting
from more than 29 years of policing is reflected in this book. The objective
analysis is what makes the authors contribution truly worthwhile. He presently
lives in Gandhinagar, India and is invited as a guest lecturer by the Indian
Institute of Public Administration, New Delhi and the Indian Institute of
Management, Ahmedabad. Sharma is the author of Heaven's Light Our Guide-
The Genesis of Indian Police.
