Remembering Swaraj Kaushal

Swaraj Kaushal was not just a senior advocate but also India's youngest-ever governor.
At 34, he became Mizoram's Advocate General and played a big part in ending two decades of insurgency by helping draft the Mizoram Peace Accord.
He was married to late BJP leader Sushma Swaraj and is survived by their daughter Bansuri, who continues his legacy in politics.
