Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a leader who demonstrated to the world that dreams can indeed be realized. It is an incisive analysis and cogent presentation.
The book is a rare compilation that gives the readers a ringside view of the evolution of one of the most popular and iconic leaders of modern India. PM Narendra Modi has, over the last 20 years, carved out a unique place in the history of post-independent India while being the Chief Minister of Gujarat for about 13 years and over the last eight years as the Prime Minister.
PM Modi is a phenomenon at the national level. The book presents different facets of the distinct thought process, the pioneering, pro-active approach and the quintessential, transformational leadership style that Narendra Modi has come to be so closely identified with.
The dreams of Modi and their realization in scale needs to be presented and understood. The book certainly helps in decoding Modi and helps understand how he has the courage to dream big for the people of his country and the grit to translate these dreams into tangible reality positively impacting the lives of crores of Indians.
Modi is now the template for what it means and takes to be a national leader. The label was earlier handed out to even politicians of no proven merit and only capable of winning election from one or two safe Lok Sabha seats. While national leaders were identified in the immediate aftermath of the independence movement by their “name recall” across regions because of their participation in the freedom struggle, in the latter decades, notably at the height of the coalition era, the expression came to be much abused.
Modi has done so with greater frequency and perseverance than any politician in the past 75 years. Before the 2014 and the 2019 polls, there had been “no mandate for hope; and no mandate that was simply a reward for tested performance”.
The authors, Sudha Murthy , Sadhguru and Nandan Nilekani have come out with a gem.
“The rise of Narendra Modi is a watershed moment in Indian politics. In fact, such is the magnitude of his influence on the country that India’s governance paradigm and political history can be easily divided into two distinct eras—pre-Modi and post-Modi” as the preface of the book goes.
