Maan Ki Baat Now In a Book Form


The Press Information Bureau on May 25 2017, released two books at a high powered function in the presence of the then president, Shri Pranab Mukherjee. The books were Maan Ki Baat: A Social Revolution on Radio and Marching with a Billion- Analysing Narendra Modi’s Government at Midterm.


While the Mann ki Baat book is written by Rajesh Jain, a former aide to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the other book has been penned by journalist Uday Mahurkar. The Maan Ki Baat book is described as an analysis of the Prime Minister’s weekly radio show, “Maan ki Baat.”

The Maan Ki Baat radio broadcast programme has been described as a reflection of the strong passion for dialogue of Prime Minister. The preface to the book has been written by the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

The Japanese prime minister said, “Talking on a one hour radio show once a month while addressing challenging tasks as Prime Minister requires tremendous efforts, I cannot but feel his strong passion for dialogue.”

The Maan Ki Baat book marks the journey of the program which will be completed 3 years in october. The book will also go into analytics on what was followed up in terms of feedback from listeners, and even has chapter on how the phrase Mann Ki Baat has entered the political lexicon in order to mock Prime Minister Modi.

The Maan ki Baat radio broadcast was first done on vijaya Dashami in 2014 and since the beginning there was curiosity about the origins of the program. People often want to know the idea behind it along with the mind of the man behind the inspiring voice of the Prime minister which reaches million of people every month.

The Maan ki Baat book recites the common thread of positivity and optimism that Prime Minister Modi has woven through his Mann Ki Baat program. It also talks about how this thread has been picked by common Indians who then converted it into a mass movement. 

The book also has some interesting anecdotes which have been shared by the members of the Prime Minister’s core team and people from MyGov and AIR regarding how the format was chalked, how the idea came and how the frequency was decided among other things.

In some genres, the most important element may be the plot and in others it will be the character that will interest the readers. Whatever the genre, however, the story is more than the plot. If your dialog establishes atmo...
