Note: This booklet was published on the occasion of completion of the first year by the NDA government led by Mr. Narendra Modi. Written in Bengali by Suman Kalyan Moulik, the booklet is titled “Completion of one year of Brand Modi: the dream of Achchhe Din and the reality of losing everything” (our translation). It contains 19 articles, including the introductory and concluding articles. Broadly the articles can be divided into economic and cultural articles, the former group preceding the latter. Topics as varied as the Union budget, National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, pharmaceutical policy, Smart City, insurance industry, Jan Dhan Yojna, land acquisition policy, Vedic Science, the Geeta, saffronisation of education, governance by ordinance have found place. Unlike the run-of-the-mill political pamphlets these articles have avoided rhetoric, unsubstantiated claims and hyperbole. References have been duly cited from mainstream and alternate media. Although references are few in number, given that this is campaign literature and not academic treaties it does not hurt. We upload the booklet for the value it carries for our readers and for activists who can put it to good use.- Eds
