Gujarat Under Modi: The Blueprint For Today'S India
Gujarat Under Modi: The Blueprint For Todays India investigates Narendra Modi’s three terms as Chief Minister of Gujarat, offering a definitive look at how his governance style helped shape his broader national agenda. This political history analyzes the interplay of economic modernization, Hindutva politics, and the broad appeal to Gujarat’s middle class. It is an essential read for readers curious about modern Indian politics—students, policy enthusiasts, and general readers who want a clear, nuanced portrait of a pivotal chapter in contemporary India—and the energy, ambition, and controversy that accompany it.
Written by Christophe Jaffrelot, a leading scholar of Indian politics, this rigorous, readable study blends political history with social analysis. It traces how Gujarat’s development model became the blueprint for Modi’s broader national project, examining governance choices, economic reform, and political mobilization, while also considering caste and class dynamics that shape contemporary Indian politics. More than a regional portrait, the book argues that Gujarat served as blueprint for Todays India. The writing is precise and accessible, guiding readers through complex ideas with careful sourcing and thoughtful context.
