On why she was wrote the book, Kishwar said, The political discourse in India is so vitiated by Modi phobia that even if one expresses appreciation of the quality of roads in rural Gujarat or 24X7 power supply in the states villages and town, one is branded a supporter of fascism. It is politically fashionable to defend Kashmiri secessionists, press for peaceful engagement with Pakistani establishment. But, to say a word in appreciation of governance reforms in Gujarat, or to credit Modi for having given Gujarat its first-ever riot-free 12 years since independence, is to commit political hara-kiri - one is forever tainted and tarred with the colours of fascism. This intellectual terror created by the anti-Modi brigade pushed me to find out for myself the reason behind this obsessive anxiety about Modi.
