Diamonds Are Forever, So Are Morals is a biography of Govind Dholakia, an Indian diamond merchant, by Arun Tiwari and Kamlesh Yagnik.[1][2]

Reception

The Hindu Business Line wrote in a review "The life story of diamond baron, Govindbhai Dholakia, 73, gives an inspiring insight about a common man’s triumph in realising the dreams."[3]

The Asian Age wrote in a review "After reading the biography, one is left marvelling at the obvious wisdom of this singularly successful individual, who spawned a sprawling enterprise and an equally large extended family comprising about 1,500 members.[4]

The Outlook India wrote in a review "The autobiography treads a fine balance between Dholakia’s spiritual self and his work karma and will certainly intrigue some young get rich quick entrepreneurs to flip through it."[5]

The book was endorsed by Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, who praised the "nuggets of inspiring information" in the text, saying that he felt it would be "source of inspiration" for future generations.[1]

Translation

In 2023, the book was translated into Gujarati language.[6]
