Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What happens when citizens stop questioning power?

For twelve years, India has witnessed dramatic political, economic and social change. But beyond the headlines, slogans and carefully managed public image lies a deeper set of questions about power, propaganda, accountability and the everyday life of ordinary citizens.

The Modi Era: Twelve Years That Changed India is a critical examination of the forces that have shaped modern India. From the changing role of television news and the rise of digital political messaging to corporate influence, rising living costs, youth unemployment, exam controversies and pressure on democratic institutions, this book examines the patterns behind the public narrative.

It revisits major moments and debates of the period, including the COVID-19 crisis, communal violence, the Manipur conflict, political funding controversies, the use of investigative agencies, changes in Parliament and public institutions, federal tensions, textbook revisions and the growing role of political spectacle.

Written from the perspective of an ordinary Indian citizen, this book asks difficult questions: Who benefits when public attention is driven by anger and division? What happens when politics enters every phone, television screen and family WhatsApp group? Can democracy remain strong when criticism is treated as disloyalty?

This is not a book of slogans.

It is a call to look beyond them.

The Modi Era challenges readers to examine the gap between political messaging and lived reality, and to remember a simple democratic principle: no leader, government or institution should ever be beyond public scrutiny.

Because real patriotism is not blind loyalty.

It is the courage to ask questions.
