Beyond Rahul Vs Modi (2014-2024: The BATTLE for INDIA'S SOUL)

Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi are seen as the two rival contenders to lead India in the next decade. While media attention is focused on the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections, analysts with a long term perspective are looking at how India will move along till 2024. Irrespective of the outcome of the 2014 elections, the Rahul versus Modi narrative will remain an integral part of popular debate and controversy in the next decade. This promises to be a truly fascinating and often emotional battle as the two fight to capture the heart, mind and soul of Indian citizens and voters. In the electoral arena, the battles will decide the future of the two major parties, the Congress and the BJP as well as the many regional parties across India. But as the suggested title of the book indicates, this battle goes well beyond electoral outcomes and acrimonious media debates. The sudden emergence of Arvind Kejriwal with his Aam Aadmi Party has compelled many analysts to wonder if this "Third Force" could upset the political landscape of the country.
