LETTERS TO MOTHER Hardcover

Letters to Mother," authored by Narendra Modi and translated from Gujarati by Bhawana Somaaya, offers a unique and deeply personal glimpse into the early life and formative thoughts of the current Prime Minister of India. The book comprises a collection of letters Modi wrote to the "Mother Goddess" (Jagat Mata) every night for years as a young man, often grappling with his fears, anxieties, joys, and a profound desire to understand the purpose of his life and effect change. Though he periodically burned these writings, one diary from 1986 survived, revealing the inner world of a 36-year-old Modi, a raw and vulnerable individual with a keen sense of observation and an urge for self-expression. This book serves as a powerful testament to his introspection and the origins of the philosophies that would later shape his political journey.
