Modian Consensus: The Rediscovery of Bharat 

By Swadesh Singh

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Ratings 4.4/5

Synopsis 
Modian Consensus: The Rediscovery of Bharat maps the Indian political trajectory of the last 150 years. It locates various periods of consensus that developed in Bharat from time to time and drove the policy, planning and politics of the day. Four of these consensus phases of the past have been identified as Civilisational Consensus, Gandhian Consensus, Nehruvian Consensus and Secular Consensus. The fifth and ongoing phase, the book argues, is Modian Consensus. The book examines how the politics of the day finds itself willy-nilly amidst a consensus around the politics of Narendra Modi. In the current phase, parties and politicians diametrically opposed to Modis ideas are compelled to follow the line of policies and programmes set by him. The impact of this consensus can be observed far beyond the domain of politics as it stands on the three postulates of cultural rootedness, assertive nationalism and welfare for all. The book explores various manifestations of Modian Consensus, including the challenges it faces and what it augurs for the future of Indian politics.

My Thoughts 
Modian Consensus: The Rediscovery of Bharat" by Swadesh Singh offers a comprehensive exploration of the Indian political landscape over the past century and a half, tracing the evolution of consensus-driven policies and politics in the country.

Dividing the historical trajectory into distinct phases, Singh identifies key periods of consensus, including the Civilisational Consensus, Gandhian Consensus, Nehruvian Consensus, and Secular Consensus. However, the focus of the book lies on the fifth and current phase, which the author dubs the "Modian Consensus."

In this phase, Singh argues, Indian politics finds itself navigating a consensus centered around the leadership and ideology of Narendra Modi. Despite opposition from various quarters, parties and politicians are compelled to align with Modi's policies and programs, reflecting a broader consensus shaped by cultural rootedness, assertive nationalism, and welfare-oriented initiatives.

Through meticulous analysis, Singh examines the multifaceted manifestations of the Modian Consensus, delving into its implications for Indian politics and society at large. He also discusses the challenges and opportunities presented by this consensus, offering insights into its potential impact on the future trajectory of the nation.

Modian Consensus" stands as a thought-provoking exploration of contemporary Indian politics, shedding light on the dynamics of consensus-building and ideological shifts in the country. Singh's insightful analysis and rigorous research make this book essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of India's political landscape and the forces shaping its future.

Highly Recommended!
