About the Book

Narendra Modi is a paradoxical man. He says one thing and does another.

He gives voice to a number of liberal ideas (such as the constitution being his holy book, and sab ka saath, sab ka vikas), while at the same time pandering to some of the most illiberal elements in Indian society, on whom he depends for political support.

Another paradox is how a Prime Minister who prides himself on effective governance has, through his silence, appeared to condone the worst aspects of misgovernance—communal riots, lynchings, the violence of gau-rakshaks and so on.

A third paradox is his talk of soaring ambitions for the country when his government’s performance is underwhelming.

So who is the real Narendra Modi? A noble, selfless leader who acts effectively in the interests of all his countrymen or an autocratic, right-wing bigot who is interested only in power and converting plural India into a Hindu Rashtra? Or something in between?

This brilliant study of Modi and the effect he has had on our country answers these and other questions about a leader who is reviled and worshipped in equal measure.

The book is divided into five sections comprising fifty chapters. The first section takes a close look at Modi’s life and times. The other four sections look at key aspects of the way in which Modi’s government functions and the lasting and often deleterious impact it has had on Indian society, major institutions, the economy, foreign policy and our fundamental values.

Using years of close observation, personal encounters with Modi, considerable scholarship, a deep understanding of Indian politics, and an insider’s view of the way in which government functions, Shashi Tharoor has stitched together a compelling portrait of this paradoxical figure.

Never before has there been such a superbly written and devastatingly accurate account of the most controversial prime minister India has ever had.

Book Review

‘A probe into Narendra Modi’s failures…’ - The Hindu

‘Tharoor echoes the sentiments of the many who oppose Modi, but does so with academic rigour.’ - The Week

‘It deserves to be read, as much to get a grip on Modi and his brand of muscular nationalism, as to visualise an India that is compassionate, fair to all, and builds on its strengths.’ - The Hindu Business Line

‘The Paradoxical Prime Minister deserves credit for scrutinising the actions of a ruling Prime Minister, focusing on how, according to the author, there is a gap between what he said and what he achieved…’ - IANS

‘In all the chapters, divided into five sections: The Paradoxical Prime Minister, The Modification of India, Moditva and Misgovernance, The Failure of Modinomics and Flights of Fancy, Tharoor has left no stone unturned to make every chapter an interesting one with a lot of behind the scene drama and on and off conversations.’ - Free Press Journal
