The book “The Prime Minister: Discourses in Indian Polity” authored by senior journalist and academic Dr. Anil Singh was formally launched in New Delhi.

The event drew an eclectic gathering of academicians, media professionals, political observers, and students of political science.

The book delves into the evolving role of India’s Prime Ministers through the lens of public discourse and governance. Through detailed research and analysis, Dr. Singh traces the transformation of the office over the decades, from Nehruvian idealism to the contemporary narrative-driven leadership styles.

At the launch event, the author spoke about how the idea of the Prime Minister has been reshaped by political, media and cultural forces over time. “It’s not just about power; it’s about performance, perception, and the projection of leadership in a hyper-connected democracy,” Dr. Singh said.

Published by Samayik Prakashan, the book offers insights into how Prime Ministers use language, media, and public platforms to shape national narratives, influence policies, and connect with citizens.

Commenting on the book, several attendees noted its relevance at a time when political communication and the branding of leadership have become central to governance.

“The Prime Minister: Discourses in Indian Polity” is now available at major bookstores and online platforms. It is expected to be a valuable addition for readers interested in politics, governance, and media studies.
