Modi & His Challenges: A Comprehensive Analysis by Rajiv Kumar

Discover "Modi & His Challenges," a meticulously researched book that delves into the political landscape of India, focusing on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's unprecedented journey and his promises to transform the country. Authored by renowned economist Rajiv Kumar, this insightful publication is set to provide an objective assessment of Modi's capabilities in tackling India's multifaceted challenges.

About the Book

Narendra Damodar Modi created history in 2014 by securing an absolute majority in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian parliament. His charismatic election campaign and impressive track record in Gujarat have fueled high expectations both within India and internationally. But will he deliver on his promises?

The book explores this question through three critical angles:

• Examining Modi's ideological journey and ideals that have driven him thus far.
• Analyzing his track record in Gujarat to separate fact from fiction.
• Evaluating his performance during the initial eighteen months of his prime ministership.

The book explores whether Modi's approach can successfully navigate India's complex transitions - economic, social, and political. It also investigates if he will confine himself to replicating the Gujarat model or strive beyond the ordinary to fulfill his historic mandate.
