Revolutionary Raj : Narendra Modi’s 25 Years

From his early rise as Chief Minister of Gujarat to his decade-long tenure as India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has transformed the political, social, and economic landscape of the country. This book captures the defining milestones of that journey, while also contextualizing his leadership within India’s democratic framework and global positioning.
Among the most impactful decisions highlighted is the historic abrogation of Article 370 from the Constitution, a move that integrated Jammu and Kashmir fully with the rest of the nation. Another significant reform discussed is the Women’s Reservation Bill, ensuring 33% representation for women in Parliament—a landmark step toward gender equality and empowerment in Indian politics. Equally important was the abolition of Triple Talaq, which safeguarded the rights of Muslim women, removing a discriminatory practice that had persisted for centuries.
The book also reflects on Modi’s firm stance against terrorism and national security challenges. The Sindoor Operation against terrorism stands out as an example of decisive action taken under his leadership, sending a strong message of India’s resolve to protect its sovereignty. These chapters not only narrate events but also bring Alok Mehta’s analytical depth, highlighting the significance of such policies in shaping modern India.
On the global stage, Narendra Modi’s leadership has elevated India’s status as a powerful voice in world politics. From strengthening strategic alliances to addressing critical issues like climate change, digital transformation, and economic reforms, Modi has positioned India as a key stakeholder in international dialogue. His role in forums such as the G20, BRICS, and the United Nations has redefined how the world perceives India—no longer as a developing nation on the margins, but as a confident, assertive, and responsible global economic power.
What makes this book especially valuable is not only its narration of events but also the analytical essays and columns by Alok Mehta, which provide sharp insights and thought-provoking perspectives. As a seasoned journalist and senior editor, Mehta brings credibility, depth, and journalistic objectivity to the subject. His commentary bridges historical context with current realities, allowing readers to engage with the subject both as history and as an ongoing narrative. Revolutionary Raj: Modi’s 25 Years is not just a biography of a leader, but a study of transformation in governance, democracy, and leadership.
