“Today, we have launched a book that elaborates on the transformation of the country during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tenure from 2014-24. In these 10 years, we have ended one era and are beginning a new one. Whenever the history of India is written, even Modi's greatest critics will write golden words about this era. PM Modi led a stable government after three decades, and this has played a crucial role in shaping India’s future,” Shah remarked.

Amit Shah on PM Modi’s Leadership Amit Shah further highlighted the impact of Modi’s leadership with key observations: • “PM Modi has reshaped India’s global image, making it one of the fastest-growing economies.” • “For the first time in 40 years, one leader has secured a third consecutive term, reflecting the people's unwavering trust in his vision.” • “His government has lifted 25 crore people out of poverty and ensured basic necessities for millions.” • “He has brought political stability and strong governance, laying the foundation for a developed India.” • “Modi’s leadership is about transforming governance—be it economic reforms, social welfare, or national security.” About the Editor Dr. Aishwarya Pandit is Associate Professor, Jindal Global Law School.

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.
