About this eBook

Narendra Modi, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, is powerful, popular and controversial. With the general elections due to conclude in May 2014, Modi's campaign rallies have drawn unprecedented crowds. Yet, the man remains an enigma. His supporters regard him as the visionary, decisive leader India needs today. His detractors see him as a polarizing fi gure. Is Modi authoritative or authoritarian? Decisive or divisive? A team player or a loner?

Andy Marino recorded interviews with Narendra Modi during more than half-a-dozen exclusive meetings - unprecedented access to a very private man. What emerged is this riveting, objective biography of a man who could be India's prime minister. Not shying away from the controversies that have dogged Narendra Modi, including the Gujarat riots and questions about the Gujarat model of governance and development, this political biography provides an unbiased account of possibly the most important figure in Indian politics today. Marino records hour-by-hour details of the 2002 Gujarat riots, presenting a balanced analysis of that raw wound on India's polity. It also reveals hitherto unpublished, authenticated documents, which makes this one of the most important books of 2014.

The author analyses Narendra Modi's values, the people who shaped his thinking and the sort of national leader he will make. Personal details of Modi's early life, his wanderings in the Himalayas between the ages of seventeen and nineteen, his rise through the political ranks, his vision for India and his personal philosophy on religion and politics are revealed in a book that is lucid, fast-paced and readable. Narendra Modi: A Political Biography is an insightful, exhaustive and impeccably researched account of the ascent of a political leader.

Ratings and reviews

I wonder who gonna buy this book.t he charge of this book is Rs:234 no one will buy even if it's price was Rs:10.already fed up with his ruling and no one is interested in knowing his political backgrounds.all he does is wasting india's money,misleading indian poor people's,and making unnecessary problems.i am so sad that indian people's are so fool to believe him

Doesn't worth even a penny. It's all just a fake story portrayed for the 2014 assembly elections just to stimulate the sentiments of the comman man. Ever heard about his great story before?🤔 Unmarried before 2014 and then married😂😂 What is his educational qualification?🤔 A tea vendor - left home to become sadhu - then RSS worker - Then nobody knows how he gets MA degree 🤔🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥.

Most of the content shared is just to show one side. Not so interesting. If u are OK with all fake and made up news then go for it otherwise it's waste of money to buy it.
