The Media and critics should stop blind
criticism of RSS, said former BBC stalwart Mark Tully. He was speaking
on the occasion of a book release titled “Modi & His Challenges”,
penned by Rajiv Kumar.
BBC icon Mark Tully who was the voice
and face of foreign media in India for many years, has welcomed the book
saying that critics should stop RSS baiting and instead engage with it,
endorsing a view that Rajiv Kumar expresses in the book.
Energy Minister Piyush Goyal was also
present at book launch. Terming RSS as an organisation that focuses on
reaching out to different segments of the society, particularly those in
distress, he said RSS has never “told any of us that we have to either
like or dislike” any other community or any other person who practises
any other religion.
‘Modi & His Challenges’ offers a
frank assessment of the Modi government over the past two years. It's
comprehensive in not only identifying the challenges, but also
explaining Modi's approach, and suggesting some course correction.
Rajiv Kumar, senior fellow at CPR, is an
economist and the author of several books on the Indian economy and
India's national security. Dr Kumar is also chancellor of the Gokhale
Institute of Economics and Politics in Pune and the founding director of
Pahle India Foundation, a non-profit research organisation that
specialises in policy-oriented research and analysis.
In an attempt to break the myths around
Narendra Modi, the author attempts to take us through a journey of the
leader's life, his political aspirations, his growth within the party,
his remarkable stint in Gujarat and his performance over the last two
years in Delhi.
The author identifies the many
formidable challenges Modi faces as the leader of the world's largest
democracy that is in the midst of a complex transition and recommends
measures that Modi must implement to deliver on his promises, thereby
enabling India to realize its true potential.
