A Book for the Ages Indian Renaissance: The Modi Decade is more than just an anthology--it is a testament to India's remarkable journey over the past decade. As the nation stands at the cusp of becoming the world's third-largest economy, this book serves as a crucial scholarly resource for understanding the dynamics of its transformation. The book examines the singular influence of Modi and his transformation of the BJP, and the development initiatives that have changed the lives of Indians even in the remotest of villages. There are essays on India's relationship with other nations, especially the US, and on the newly revived relations between India and the Arab world. Yet others reflect on the digital revolution, the challenge of educating a billion people, and the new (intern)nationalist paradigm that is being given shape by the government of India. With insights from global thinkers and experts, the book captures the essence of a defining era in India's history and offers a roadmap for the country's future trajectory. The launch event also featured a panel discussion reflecting on India's rapid progress and the continued impact of PM Modi's leadership (ADVERTORIAL DISCLAIMER: The above press release has been provided by VMPL.
