Prime Minister Narendra Modi has written the foreword for the Indian edition of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s autobiography, *I Am Giorgia: My Roots, My Principles*. The book is set to be published in India by Rupa Publications.
In his foreword, PM Modi highlighted that Meloni’s life story is much more than politics and power; it is a testament to her courage and unwavering commitment to public service.
### Leadership Commendation: Strength and Stability for Italy
Modi praised Meloni’s leadership, noting that she has brought strength and stability to Italy during challenging times. He wrote, “She has always been pragmatic and committed to furthering global good.”
Drawing a cultural parallel, PM Modi linked Meloni’s journey to the Indian concept of *Nari Shakti* — the divine feminine energy revered in Indic traditions. He stated, “There are various ways to understand as well as appreciate Meloni’s rise and leadership. Among those, I can see a strong connection between her story and the concept of Nari Shakti.”
### Cultural Resonance: Shared Civilizational Values
PM Modi emphasized that Meloni has remained deeply rooted in her values while confidently leading Italy on the global stage. Her journey from a modest neighborhood in Rome to the country’s highest political office underscores the power of purpose beyond narrow partisan politics.
“Her purpose of defending motherhood, national identity, and tradition will resonate with readers in India,” Modi wrote. “Her belief in defending one’s cultural heritage, while engaging with the world on equal terms, mirrors our own values.”
### Book Endorsement: A ‘Mann Ki Baat’ of Meloni
Calling Meloni’s autobiography a “refreshing story of an outstanding contemporary political leader and patriot,” PM Modi expressed confidence that the book would be well received in India. He affectionately referred to it as her “Mann Ki Baat,” referencing his own popular monthly radio broadcast to the nation.
The friendship between PM Modi and PM Meloni has attracted widespread attention on social media, with their cheerful interactions often trending under the hashtag #Melodi.
