When he graduated, he was awarded the title of Shastali (a master of sacred scriptures). He returned to politics and followed Mahatma Gandhi. He was imprisoned several times. From 1937 to 1946, he served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Uttar Pradesh. After India's independence, he served as Minister of Transport and Interior of Uttar Pradesh. In 1952, he was elected as a member of the Bundestag and served as Minister of Railways and Transport. In 1961, he served as Minister of the Interior. He became famous for his good mediation.

After Nehru's death in May 1964, Lar Shastri became Prime Minister of India. Shastri was careful under the Nehru route and achieved certain results in adjusting the agricultural strategy during his short 19 months of rule. But he was criticized for failing to resolve economic issues and gained high reputation for his firm position on the controversial issue of Jammu and Kashmir in neighboring Pakistan (1965).

In August 1965, armed riots occurred in Indian-controlled Kashmir, and the Indian army quickly suppressed and annihilated more than 5,000 people. Later, India organized troops to enter Pakistan through the ceasefire line. Second India-Pakistan War broke out. Pakistani army first defeated and then won and stabilized the situation. Both sides suffered huge losses. A ceasefire was agreed upon after the United Nations mediation.

From January 4 to 10, 1966, Lar Shastre held negotiations with Pakistani President Ayub Khan in the Soviet Union and signed the Tashkent Declaration. On the 11th, a few hours after signing the document, he died suddenly due to a heart attack. On the 19th, Nehru's daughter, Mrs. Indira Gandhi, was elected as the ruling Congress leader and Prime Minister of India.

Lal Shastri died of sudden illness a few hours after signing the Tashkent Declaration, and died without warning. The explanation given by the Soviet experts was that the heart disease was suddenly incurred, which sounded logical, and no party had the motivation or condition to kill Lar Shastri. The outside world just wondered how death on Su's land was too bizarre.

After the death of Lal Shastri, Pakistan took the blame. A few years later, East Pakistan became independent with the support of India and Bangladesh . India can also take Pakistan and exclaimed a vent.
