rahul gandhi

New Delhi: A book on the life and thinking of Rahul Gandhi, MP and general secretary of Indian National Congress is going to hit the market next month. Titled “The Magic of Rahul Gandhi”, authored by noted TV journalist Mohammad Irfan Sheikh, the book discusses the impact of Rahul Gandhi on youth, his ideology about religion, vision about India in the 21st century and his personal life after he entered into the politics and revamping the party to a good position in the last general elections. The book was recently launched by the Chief Minister of Delhi, Sheila Dixit at a function held at her residence in the presence of MP Mr. Hamdullah Sayeed, Mr. Rajeev Kumar Gupta, President- IMS Noida; Mr. Irfan Sheikh; Mr. C.S Nagpal, ED IMS Noida . Mrs. Dixit said that ‘this book represents hope and Rahul Gandhi is doing a very good job and his efforts should not be ignored’. Published by IMS Publishing house Noida, this book reflects the emergence of Rahul Gandhi as an icon of the Indian youth. Seeing his rather brief political career and maintaining a low profile until recently, he is now seen as the future Prime Minister of the country. After reading this book, one can easily understand the feelings of Rahul Gandhi. Some one asked Rahul Gandhi about his religion. He said “I thought about the answer and replied by saying that the Indian Flag is my religion. I promised myself, after my father died that I would serve the people; as this Flag represent, by taking up a job. Before I know what our workers and people feel and need, I would be doing a disservice both to my religion and to my party”.
At one place Rahul Gandhi said that “whenever he met an Indian he saw him as an individual without the caste tag”. After reading this line, one can easily understand whenever Rahul Gandhi visits to a Dalit family in a village to spend a night with them or eat aloo-subji or parantha with them by sitting on the floor, is not a political gimmick which is always opposed by political parties. The book also tries to project the aspirations and expectation of the youth from Rahul. The author has also raised a serious issue of the rise in the rate of suicide cases by young students and has asked Rahul on what are the ways to address to this menace of depression among the youth of this country.
