The Chinese version of the book will be published under the auspices of the South Asia Center of Sichuan University. It is entitled "India's Modi-incredible emergence of a star," and is divided into 13 chapters, including "RSS guides the way," "A Himalayan wanderer," "Social activism," "The political call," " Turmoil and turbulence," and "India awakened to a new dawn."
