This book is a rare experiment of doing some serious political commentary on 10 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's work through a graphic novel (or comic book in popular parlance), using 10 different popular art styles. During Shantanu’s research at the University of Oxford on "Usage of graphics novels for political commentary", he studied and followed various political graphic novels. He understood that graphic novels can be a very powerful means to communicate political ideas to the masses. This book is written from a voter's point of view, that why she or he will vote Narendra Modi back to power in 2024. Shantanu has collected most of his stories after directly talking to the beneficiaries of different schemes of the Modi government. Each of the 101 reasons are presented with comparison data of pre 2014 scenario, the human story involved and an English poetic couplet to capture the impact of that particular scheme or the initiative of the Modi government.
