The 2002 violence and the abject failure of the state’s then ruler to stop the savagery are no more a disqualification in Indian politics. Instead, some 12 years after the anti-Muslim pogrom in Gujarat, he has become Prime Minister of the country.
The debutant writer observes that India under Narendra Modi’s rule cannot be understood without a reference to his reign as Gujarat chief minister when communal riots killed more than 2,000 Muslims in that state.Īt that very moment, the book argues, Modi’s political career should have ended. Komireddi, is a well-documented and highly readable political commentary on Narendra Modi’s rule from 2014 onwards.
