The Modi Years Power, Politics and Change in India

How did one political leader come to dominate an era of Indian history?

The Modi Years: Power, Politics and Change in India examines Narendra Modi's rise from Vadnagar to national leadership and explores the major political, economic and social developments that have shaped India during his tenure.

Rather than advancing a political argument, the book follows an evidence-based approach. Each chapter asks three questions:

• What happened?
• What does the evidence support?
• What remains contested?

Spanning Modi's journey through the RSS and BJP, the Gujarat years, national elections, governance reforms, welfare programmes, foreign policy initiatives and major national controversies, the book separates documented facts from retrospective narratives and partisan interpretation.

Written by scientist and author Anil Kumar Verma, this work applies analytical rigor to contemporary political history and offers readers a framework for understanding one of the most consequential periods in modern India.

Whether supportive, critical or undecided, readers will find a detailed account that informs rather than persuades.
