Narendra Modi surprised India and the world with his enthusiasm for diplomacy and the capacity to reinvigorate Indias foreign policy after he took over as the prime minister in May 2014. Despite his lack of political experience in Delhi and taking full advantage of his extraordinary mandate, he overcame the negative dynamic with America, recast the approach to China and Pakistan, deepened the strategic partnership with Japan and Australia, rejuvenated Indias neighbourhood policy, wooed international business leaders and reconnected with the Indian diaspora. Modis World tells the story of Modis unexpected success on the foreign policy front and its potential consequences for Indias place in the world. It offers insights into his inheritance from the UPA government, his own foreign policy conception and diplomatic execution.
