Narendra Modi: Creative Disruptor - The Maker of New India

by R. Balashankar

"Narendra Modi has been the most transformative Prime Minister India ever had. In popularity and power he surpassed both Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. In reforms he broke the record of P.V. Narasimha Rao and A.B. Vajpayee. He instilled aspiration in Indians as never before.

Under Modi, India witnessed the greatest power shift—the BJP with a new political narrative and style emerging the ruling party and replacing the six-decade supremacy of the Congress. The government became modern, digital, graft free, accountable, and credible and is involving the public like never before. It brought GST, demonetisation and India-centric diplomacy, scrapped obsolete systems and rules, fixed targets and goals on Clean India drive, welfare schemes, and building of roads and ports.

How Modicare, free cooking gas, smart cities and ease of doing business are changing lives. What are the tales of Rafale, lynchings, award returns and intolerance. How Modi and Arun Jaitley are cleaning up the NPA mess. How affirmative actions ensured a new deal for minorities, OBC and SC/ST groups. How anti-Modism is driving the Opposition. How Amit Shah has made BJP an election roller coaster. How Nitin Gadkari in four years has built more roads than in UPA’s 10 years; How Modi ended cronyism exposed in the Radia tapes. How Modi has changed systems and made a new India; How the Modi leadership can be defined in ethos, pathos and logos. This book is a detailed assessment of Modi’s impact on Indian polity and its course in the future.".

This book was written before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and is a compilation of Modi government's achievements from 2014 to 2018/19, and even takes the readers through the controversies that took place during this period and the reality behind it.

Nice Book ,well written , but a need to be more balanced

[Amitra Jyoti · Rating 3 out of 5]

The language was lucid.The book is basically a propaganda piece to glorify Modi, well, nothing that I have not expected.
As a book it is hard to rate. It is written as an answer to Tharoor’s Paradoxical prime minister and that book itself was difficult to rate. Both of them say that they are right and both of them say that the ‘other ‘ is wrong .Well you be the judge.
I myself am entirely confused about the current political scenario and I thought that reading books on it will make me clearer, now I know that that’s not happening anytime soon.
Is this a high quality readable material?
I don’t think so, but if you want to know both sides of the story then go for it.
A point that was raised by the author should be noted I think, which is that Mr Tharoor thought it would be more newsworthy to write a book about the negatives of Mr Modi than the positives of Tharoor’s “Prince” Mr Rahul Gandhi.
Don’t take me wrong, I have nothing against the young man but I have nothing going for him too.
See you at the hustings then.
