Publisher's summary

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.

Modi became the chief minister of the Indian state of Gujarat in 2001. He was undefeated in all subsequent elections and became the state’s longest serving chief minister. While Modi strode Gujarat like a colossus, propelling multi-dimensional progress, bigger responsibilities beckoned. Modi’s exemplary success in Gujarat, paved the way for him to be popularly elected India’s prime minister in an overwhelming victory in 2014. He is a prime minister unlike anyone earlier, both in terms of appeal and body of work. As a result, in 2019, he was re-elected with an even bigger mandate.

His appeal is the result of his work in many domains over a long social, political and administrative career. Modi’s impact is not restricted to India alone, and numerous national and international polls regularly declare that he is the most popular international leader.

In 2021, Modi completed 20 continuous years as the head of a government. This book, a compilation of chapters authored by eminent intellectuals and domain experts, attempts a definitive and expansive exploration into the fundamental transformation of Gujarat and India over the last 20 years due to Modi’s unique model of governance.

Fanclub stories uncluttered by facts

Sadly, this book is written by fans that attribute everything to Modiji, and bend the facts to heap praise on the man. For example, in the sports field, Modi is presented as the only leader that supports Olympic sports and has contributed to India's great successes in the games, yet in 2012 India won 6 medals, and in 2024 it won 6 medals, with only 7 being won in 2020, and 2 in 2016. Hardly great progress. The 2024 election shows how out of touch the authors are with the people and their concerns for employment, inflation and an absolute abhorrence for dictatorship and excessive power. The authors are part of the cadre that led to the complete failure of the party and media to recognize how distasteful the government rhetoric was received by the people. The 2024 election is all you need to see how accurate this biography is.

The Man Who Makes The Impossible Possible

It was an exciting, encouraging experience which gave the feeling of enormous hope and security about the world's future under Modi's leadership. He is a unique leader whom there is no comparison in the history. Such a hardworking, caring leader who dedicated every millisecond of his time and thoughts and energy to not just India's advancement but for the whole world. I consider myself being fortunate and humbled to live in this era.
