Book ‘PM Power’ Launched at New Delhi World Book Fair

 

New Delhi, EW correspondent: The book "PM Power", written by senior journalists Amit Kumar and Ritu Srivastava, was officially launched on Monday at the Diamond Books stall during the New Delhi World Book Fair, held at Bharat Mandapam. The book’s release ceremony witnessed the presence of prominent personalities, including Diamond Books Director N.K. Verma, senior writer Awadhesh Srivastava, Sandeep Sharma, Sunil Singh (Director of Pharmas Vision), religious leader Haridas Maharaj Peethadhish Pal Baba, Dr. R.P. Singh, filmmaker Dinesh Singh, along with many other writers and journalists. The book has been published by Diamond Books. 

Speaking on the occasion, N.K. Verma stated that the book elaborates on how India's Prime Ministers have used their power to shape the nation’s destiny. He emphasized that PM Power provides insights into crucial decisions made by various Indian Prime Ministers, many of which remain lesser-known to the public. 

Author Amit Kumar expressed confidence that the book would appeal to readers interested in Indian politics. He highlighted how Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiatives, such as Lakhpati Didi and Drone Didi, are designed to uplift women and contribute to national development. 

Co-author Ritu Srivastava added that the Ayodhya Ram Temple issue could have been resolved during former Prime Minister Chandrashekhar Singh’s tenure. According to her, Chandrashekhar had brought discussions between Hindu and Muslim communities to a decisive stage. However, his coalition partners withdrew support upon learning about these developments, which led to the issue being stalled. 

Religious leader Pal Baba encouraged people to read books like PM Power to gain deeper political insights. Following the launch, the book saw significant demand from readers, prompting the publisher to announce that an English edition will be released soon.

India’s Highway Dream Is Costing Us a Fortune — And Nobody Is Asking Why?

There is a photograph that the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways loves to circulate. A freshly laid six-lane expressway stretches into a golden horizon. Smooth asphalt. Clean white markings. The kind of road that makes you believe, for a brief and generous moment, that India has arrived. Minister Nitin Gadkari has built an entire political identity around such photographs — and to be fair, he has earned some of it. When I began my career as a cost engineer on national highway projects in 2010

Several deaths are reported due to persons drowning in water bodies; those who did not know swimming also jumped in deep water to beat the heat and perished.

Revisiting Religious History In India: Temples, Myths, and the Politics of Memory

The contemporary struggle over religious monuments in India cannot be understood without revisiting the deeper historical questions that underlie it: the nature of “Hinduism” in the past, the evolution of temple architecture, the role of Buddhism under state patronage, and the present-day politicisation of Islamic-period monuments. Taken together, these questions reveal not only a contested past but also a deliberate project of mythmaking in the present, designed to forge a unified religious-national identity by cultivating hostility toward Muslims.
