The country's Home Minister Amit Shah is celebrating his 58th birthday today. He has become one of the great faces of the country's politics today. But do you know the difficulties he has faced in reaching the point where he is today? Shah, who has the ability to interfere in every field in the politics of the country, has once gone to jail. Let us know some of the big things related to the life of 'Shah of politics':-

1- Amit Shah was born on October 22, 1964, in the house of a businessman in Mumbai. He belongs to a noble family in Gujarat. His village is in Chandur in Patan district. After his early studies in Mehsana, he came to Ahmedabad to study biochemistry from where he took a BSc degree in biochemistry. Before coming to politics, Shah used to handle the family business of plastic pipes in Mansa. Shah joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) at a very young age.

2- In 1982, during his college days, Amit Shah met Narendra Modi. In 1983, he joined the All India Students' Council (ABVP) and thus began to grow politically.

4- Amit Shah, a stockbroker by profession, started his political career by winning the by-election from the Sarkhej assembly seat in Gujarat in 1997.

6- Amit Shah made headlines when Pranesh was killed along with 19-year-old Ishrat Jahan, Zeeshan Johar and Amjad Ali Rana in a fake encounter allegedly on the outskirts of Ahmedabad in 2004. Gujarat Police had claimed that the men had come to kill Gujarat CM Modi to avenge the post-Godhra riots in 2002. Gopinath Pillai had filed an application in the court seeking that Amit Shah also made an accused in the case. However, on May 15, 2014, a Special Court in CBI dismissed the petition for not having enough evidence against Shah.
