Have you ever wondered what truly defines India’s transformation in the past decade? How does a nation of over a billion people balance its ancient traditions with the demands of a modern world? The Seven ‘I’s of Modi’s India dives into these questions and more, offering an insightful exploration of India’s journey under the Modi administration from 2014 to 2024.

Why This Book is a Must-Read

In a world filled with books on politics, governance, and culture, what sets The Seven ‘I’s of Modi’s India apart? Written from the perspective of a non-resident Indian (NRI) with a global viewpoint, this book combines the author’s personal insights, analytical depth, and a fresh comparative approach to India’s transformation. It’s not just a book—it’s a lens through which readers can explore how some NRIs perceive the events that defined the decade. Written by a professional engineer with no political affiliations, who got a chance to live in the western countries for a decade, the book offers an unbiased perspective shaped by a keen interest in observing people, societies, and cultures. The goal isn’t to be politically correct, but to present events and trends as they were observed.

A Unique Framework: The Seven ‘I’s

The book is structured around seven interconnected pillars:

  1. Infrastructure: Examining how the infrastructure plays a crucial part in any country’s growth and development. The chapter compares some of the key infrastructure projects that made headlines in India to their western counterparts.
  2. Industrialization: Delving into industrial policies that prevail in the UK or Europe and contrasting them with India’s industrialization efforts.
  3. Innovation: Highlighting technological breakthroughs—from space exploration to Digital India initiatives—how does an innovation-friendly ecosystem in the West compare to the one in India?
  4. Immunity: Exploring national security, defense advancements, and responses to internal and external threats. How does west differ? What did we overlook?
  5. Ideology: Unpacking the ideological shifts in governance and their cultural implications and comparing recurring discussions about civil codes and citizenship laws in India and in the west.
  6. Identity: Reflecting on how people have a variety of evolving identities or “limited identities” that steer the politics of the nation. It also gives a way how a person can look beyond the inherent biases and prejudices.
  7. Institutions: Analyzing the evolution of social institutions and their role in shaping lifestyles and mindsets while comparing the same with the ones prevailing in the west.

Each chapter is a deep dive into its respective theme, weaving together data, narratives, and comparisons with global trends. From the rise of indigenous startups to the impact of Aadhaar on governance, the book connects the dots between policy decisions and their real-world implications.

How It Stands Out

  1. A Global Perspective: Unlike many books written from a purely domestic lens, this book provides a comparative analysis of India’s journey with similar global developments. For instance, how India’s space race echoes the global competition during the Cold War or how the concept of national identity evolves in different cultures.
  2. Blending Facts with Storytelling: The book doesn’t just present data—it tells stories. Stories of people, places, and policies that bring the numbers to life.
  3. Relevance Across Audiences: Whether you’re a policymaker, student, or someone curious about India’s trajectory, this book offers something for everyone.

What Readers Will Gain

  • A deeper understanding of India’s policy decisions and their cultural and social impact.
  • Insights into how India’s transformation aligns or contrasts with global trends.
  • A nuanced view of the challenges and opportunities facing India as it navigates the 21st century.
