Modi Avhan 2024 Che (मोदी आव्हान २०२४ चे)
2024ची लोकसभा निवडणूक ऐतिहासिक ठरू शकते. जर नरेंद्र मोदी, पंतप्रधानपदाचा पाच वर्षांचा कार्यकाळ सलग तिसर्‍यांदा मिळवण्यात यशस्वी झाले, तर जवाहरलाल नेहरूंनंतर सलग तिसर्‍यांदा पंतप्रधानपदी येणारे ते पहिलेच नेते असतील. 2024च्या सार्वत्रिक निवडणुकीपर्यंतच्या या समग्र आणि व्यापक आढाव्यात मिन्हाज मर्चंट यांनी, मोदींनी पंतप्रधानपदी असताना भारतीय राजकारण, अर्थव्यवस्था आणि संस्कृतीला कसा आकार दिला, याचं मार्मिक विश्लेषण केलं आहे. या निवडणुकीसाठी विरोधी पक्षांनी केलेल्या एकजुटीची रणनीती भाजपाचा विजयरथ रोखू शकेल का, याची चाचपणीदेखील या पुस्तकात करण्यात आली आहे. उदाहरणार्थ, काँग्रेस नेते राहुल गांधी, पश्चिम बंगालच्या मुख्यमंत्री ममता बॅनर्जी आणि विरोधी पक्षांचं शासन असलेल्या राज्यांचे धुरंधर राज्यकर्ते आपापसातील मतभेद बाजूला सारू शकतील? 2012पासून मिन्हाज मर्चंट मोदींना अनेकदा भेटले, त्यांची मुलाखत घेतली. लेखकाने मोदींच्या भौगोलिक राजकारण, अर्थव्यवस्था, तंत्रज्ञान आणि सामाजिक सुधारणा आदि मुख्य विषयांसंदर्भातील धोरणांचं विश्लेषण केलं आहे. 10 विस्तृत विभाग आणि 31 प्रकरणं असलेल्या या पुस्तकात मोदींच्या मागील दशकातील एका प्रादेशिक नेत्यापासून वैश्विक राजनेता बनण्यापर्यंतचा प्रवास साकारण्यात आला आहे.

The Nationalist
I read it very sincerely and the life story of Mr. AM Naik is really motivating story for engineers. --By A Customer on 25 November 2017 Product Description This is the story of an extraordinary business leader, Anil Naik, and the company, Larsen & Toubro (L&T), he has served for 53 years and led for the last 18. Long coveted by the Ambanis and Birlas, L&T has an annual turnover of Rs 1,20,000 crore and a market capitalisation of more than Rs 1,60,000 crore. It is involved in several critical national projects: India s first nuclear-powered submarine; strategic weapon and missile systems; space exploration including maiden missions to the moon and Mars; global infrastructure; airports; metro rail systems; and nearly all of India s nuclear power plants. L&T s Hazira manufacturing complex, Vadodara s Knowledge City and the Kattupalli shipyard have become symbols of world-class Indian engineering and technology. Author Minhaz Merchant spoke to Naik over several months to construct a compelling narrative of a remarkable company and its chairman. What emerges is a portrait of a man whose work and life have been bedrocked on a deeply felt sense of nationalism, synonymous with helping to build a strong and self-reliant India. From a south Gujarat village to the chairmanship of L&T, Anil Naik s journey has been one of grit, determination, entrepreneurial leadership, 16-hour workdays and a unique management style. What emerges is a visionary leader who ringfenced L&T from corporate takeovers by creating an innovative employee welfare foundation and transformed L&T into a global technology and engineering powerhouse. Naik also emerges as a devoted family man and a generous philanthropist who has donated most of his personal income to charities through family trusts focused on healthcare, education and community service. Naik s father, Manibhai, a teacher who spent his life serving the rural poor, was his role model who taught him to be fearless and honest with the motto: If you are in the right, you have nothing to fear. This is the story of a man who surmounted great odds to reach the pinnacle of success, says Merchant. It demonstrates more than anything else that honesty the quality Naik prizes most pays the greatest dividend of all in the end: the respect of your peers, the loyalty of your colleagues, and the affection of your family.
