India, Hindus & Narendra Modi: A look at Shri Narendra Modi's extraordinary achievements...but also where he may have faltered

ABOUT THE BOOK:

This book examines whether—and in what measure—Narendra Modi succeeded, and where we feel he stumbled, as he is about to enter his third mandate. There is absolutely no doubt that he is the best prime minister India ever had. He is non-corrupt, very hard-working, and his entire focus is the welfare and betterment of Bharat. His vision and actions speak for themselves: demonetization, Swacch Bharat, removal of Article 370, which was a must, cancellation of Talaq divorce, Ayodhya, G-20, putting India on the world’s map, etc. It is also not his fault that the people of India did not collaborate fully with him, and that in terms of honesty, cleanliness, corruption, black money, indiscipline, they partly failed him.

It is absolutely true that there is nobody else in sight that could match his greatness and vision. And therefore, he needs to be re-elected for a third term, so that he can continue his fantastic work. But power has its own momentum, and he may rightly feel that HE is the ONLY one capable of guiding India to the superpower status she deserves. We also find that there is an autocratic element creeping into his leadership, and fear has risen, both among his ministers and spokespersons, to say anything that has not been approved beforehand. The PMO today centralizes all power, whereas India needs to be decentralized, and power delegated, so that a new generation of young leadership rises up within the ranks of the BJP. Also, Hindus, who massively elected Mr. Modi and his party two times, and soon three, have not received the attention and the care they deserve.

Finally, we will assess India’s bright future and her position in the world, in the light of Sri Aurobindo's famous essay, The Hour of God.
