The write stuff

Stock market players are not the only ones who are cashing in on Narendra Modi's rise to power. The day after Modi and his preliminary Council of Ministers were sworn in, e-commerce retailer Flipkart offered buyers a "handpicked collection" of books on Narendra Modi with the tagline: "Want to know about Mr Narendra Modi?" Apart from journalist Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay's relatively balanced biography, the other books on offer are mostly favourable profiles by writers like Andy Marino and Madhu Kishwar. A translation of Modi's poems are also part of this collection.
