About the Book<br/><br/>For the first time, Modi has been quoted in any book talking about the hitherto untouched aspects of his life. The book is based on extensive interviews of the Gujarat Chief Minister and his close relatives about the influences that shaped his thoughts and actions.The 400-plus pages talk about the inspiring stories that made Modi what he is today-how he evolved as a man of development and empowered people with his decisions, and how he faced the poison-laced barbs of his critics who were ready to tear him to pieces for a crime he never committed.Modi's journey from a tea seller to prime ministerial candidacy has been one of struggle, dedication, determination, hard work and perseverance. Since his childhood, Modi gets up at 4 am and does not go to bed until he has finished his work. An average Indian finds his own reflection in the struggle of Modi. Like Modi, he can dream big. Yes, he can!When he was a young boy of 13, he received a near-fatal injury due to attack by a crocodile in the lake he swam daily. He was bed-ridden for more than a week. "It hit like a sword on my ankle," he said and showed to the author the scar he got due to the nine stitches.Modi was a victim of child marriage, a usual practice in the backward Ghanchi caste, but his desire to serve larger causes persuaded him to skip the final stage of the three-stage Gujarati marriage. When leaving home as a wanderer in search of truth, he took a formal leave of everyone.The Modi family had ancestral links with Rajasthan. How Modis became a backward oil pressing community in Gujarat is baffling? Some say that the original backward Modis migrated from Bihar, where there are still people with the Modi surname in oil pressing trade. The veracity of the claim, however, could not be established.Coming from a poor family, he tried to design solutions to poverty after he became the chief minister. He empowered farmers by making agriculture lucrative. He made industries attractive by linking them with profitability, employment and development.This book reflects the changing opinions of his critics after his recent exoneration by an Ahmedabad court. Despite the court verdict, he continues to be vilified for the 2002 riots. This book is an attempt to bust the cultivated myths being spread against him.Muslims and Modi are drawing close to each other. The community voted overwhelmingly for the BJP in the 2012 Assembly elections and the municipal elections. Even his bitterest critics such as Zafar Sareshwala and Mufti Aijaz Arshad Qasmi have turned his admirers.The book presents Narendra Modi as a gamechanger who knows how to impress people with his work and turn the tables on his adversaries. It remains to be seen whether or not he will succeed in converting the massive support for him into votes for the BJP. <br/><br/>About the Author<br/><br/>Sudesh K Verma is a senior journalist currently working as News Editor, NewsX . In a career spanning more than two decades, he worked for, among others, The Statesman, Deccan Chronicle, The Business Standard and India News Television Channel.His stint as Senior Political Analyst in the British High commission for over three years taught him lessons in bureaucracy but he realized his existence there was in stark contrast to the world outside and one fine morning he decided to quit and do something more meaningful. Influenced by the ideal of becoming a factor for change, he became a social-political activist and led Youth 4 Democracy movement. He supported the Aam Aadmi Party and became one of its founding members.Verma, who has an M.Phil Degree in International Studies from the Jawaharlal University, he has contributed chapters to various books including The Other Side: Redefining Bharat, Edited by Fr Dominic Emmanuel, Frances Gonsalves and John Dayal and Prime Ministers of India, Edited by Shivnath and Neena Jha. He has been writing regularly on socio-political issues.After a careful research on Narendar Modi vis a vis other political leader, the author concludes that Modi is the country's best bet for deliverance. Having known him ever since he was a Delhi-based Secretary of the BJP, the author attempts to present the real Modi.The book is a product of intense research of one year by a dedicated team that sifted through more than 50,000 hyperlinks, a dozen book on Modi including the ones in Gujarati language and various research papers. The author and his team interviewed more than 100 people, mostly those impacted by the initiatives undertaken by the chief minister.<br/><br/> |
