Book Name: Staggering Forward: Narendra Modi and India's Global Ambition
Author: Bharat Karnad
Genre: Non- fiction, Political
Publisher: Penguin Viking
Introduction: Prime Minister Modi's first term, however, raises troubling questions. How has his strongman persona and social background impacted policymaking? Has the country's role in the region, in Asia and the world changed, become more meaningful? What has been the effect of Modi's India First foreign policy on neighbours, and with respect to raising India's stock in the world and showing the Indian military has teeth?
Analysing Prime Minister Modi's foreign and military policies in the context of India's evolving socio-political and economic milieu, this book offers a critical perspective that helps explain why India has not progressed much towards becoming a consequential power. .
My opinion: Frankly I wasn't much used to this kinda book, still I dared to read it- 500 pgs long book! At first at left lost & confused but as soon as 20-30 pages were done, my curiosity to read more started to increase! Definitely I am a political reader, I mostly read Dr. B.R Ambedkar (best reads ever), so is the reason I was much comfortable with this book too. What's better when you get to read about all the Global tactics, Indian defence services, Current affairs & most of all to read about our PM- Narendra Modi (talk of the town). This book is combination of everything one must know if interested in overall Indian social & political systems. It's a must read & highly recommend! Cover is stunning & hypnotic.
.
Pros: So yes, finally I am done than earlier- because the writing was so strong, bold, straight forward & gripping. Bharat has done a great job because it needs guts to write & to point out on such political & social topics. More of all it's not just a political stuff but I got to know alot about our PM too! Also, the book is full of knowledge & yes it's worth reading. Felt gald to read this one.
Cons: Well no such cons, but I admit this book is not for beginners, you need solid roots to understand, well everyone should give it a try.
