"""Modi’s India is a masterpiece of careful research.""---James Crabtree, Financial Times ""The most comprehensive study of Modi’s India to date offers a bleak and unsparing view of the direction of the country.""---Gideon Rachman, Financial Times, Best Books of The Year 2021 ""Christophe Jaffrelot’s book is a work of outstanding scholarship, a formidable documentation and compelling commentary on how India has changed in the first seven years under the leadership of Narendra Modi. . . .it is only a scholar of exceptional assurance and erudition who would attempt such an audaciously comprehensive, contemporary history written in real-time rather than with hindsight, and succeed simultaneously to inform, stir and provoke his readers.""---Harsh Mander, Telegraph of India ""Modi’s India is an exhaustive account of contemporary Indian politics, which impressively draws on numerous sources and examines a range of issues . . . . this work emerges as an important contribution to the study of the future of democracy in India and beyond.""---Pratim Ghosal, Commonwealth & Comparative Politics ""The strengths of this book are many.""---Stephanie Duclos-King, Religious Studies Review"
