SynopsisBack in the chopper, at the end of the rally, Modi again settled over some papers, this time a printout of emails sent to him. Modi passed the paper to me. A Ukrainian lady had written to him. She was recently married to an Indian and now that she was getting to know the country she congratulated Modi on what he had achieved in Gujarat. But her main point concerned the 2014 election. Back in 2005, she said, they had a chance to change the system in Ukraine - it was the time of the ' Orange Revolution' - but they blew it. If you have the chance to change India, she wrote, don't fail us, because there is nobody else who can do it. If in 2014 Narendra Modi occupies the prime minister's residence at 7 Race Course Road, it will be the end of a long and unexpected journey for the poor, backward-class boy from a small Gujarat town called Vadnapar. Book jacket., 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 It also reveals hitherto unpublished, authenticated documents, which makes this one of the most important books of 2014.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.
