|AUTHOR | “Turbulence & Triumph: The Modi Years” by Rahul Agarwal
Turbulence and Triumph: The Modi Years, the first-ever pictorial biography of Shri Narendra Damodardas Modi, the honourable Prime Minister of India. Completely non-political in approach, its documentary-style visual narrative along with its well-researched text retraces the long and eventful journey of a young boy from Vadnagar, Gujarat to 7, Lok Kalyan Marg, New Delhi, as the 14th Prime Minister of India. On 26 May 2014, he changed the face of India forever.
The politician, the leader, the orator who places a premium on development and modernity; the visionary committed to a New India that can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with any superpower on a global stage; the robust, energetic and inspirational leader the youth of India looks up to and emulates; the ascetic and philosopher who envisions an India that embraces both tradition and technology, has been presented by authors Rahul Agarwal and Bharathi S Pradhan, both accomplished professionals in their own field, as a leader destined to make compelling political history.
Replete with anecdotes from family, friends, colleagues, associates, testimonials of leaders from India and the world across party lines, with photographs sourced from the finest public and private archives, Turbulence & Triumph: The Modi Years, explores the many angularities of the Prime Minister who inspires adulation and awe in equal measure.Om Books International is already in talks with publishers overseas including in the United States, United Kingdom, France, China, Russia, to bring out this inspirational pictorial biography as a well.
Honourable Vice President of India has formally launched the book Turbulence & Triumph: The Modi Years, at Vice President House New Delhi.
