Prime Minister Narendra Modi has penned the foreword for the Indian edition of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s autobiography, *I Am Giorgia: My Roots, My Principles*. The book will be published by Rupa Publications in India.
In his foreword, PM Modi highlighted that Meloni’s life is not just about politics or power, but also about her courage and commitment to public service.
### Leadership Commendation: Meloni Provides Strength and Stability to Italy
PM Modi praised Meloni’s leadership, stating that she has brought strength and stability to Italy. He wrote, “She has always been pragmatic and committed to furthering global good.”
Drawing a parallel between Meloni’s journey and the concept of *Nari Shakti*—or divine feminine energy, revered in Indic traditions—Modi remarked, “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: India and Italy Bound by Shared Civilizational Instincts
PM Modi noted that Meloni has remained deeply rooted while confidently leading her nation on the global stage. Her journey from a modest neighborhood in Rome to Italy’s highest political office highlights the power of purpose over narrow partisan politics.
“Her purpose of defending motherhood, national identity and tradition will resonate with readers in India. Her belief in defending one’s cultural heritage, while engaging with the world on equal terms, mirrors our own values,” Modi wrote.
### Book Endorsement: Meloni’s Autobiography Called ‘Mann Ki Baat’
The Prime Minister emphasized that India and Italy are connected through shared civilizational instincts such as defending heritage and celebrating womanhood. He expressed confidence that Meloni’s autobiography would be well-received in India as a “refreshing story of an outstanding contemporary political leader and patriot.”
Modi warmly called the autobiography Meloni’s “Mann Ki Baat,” referencing his iconic monthly radio address to the nation.
The friendship between PM Modi and PM Meloni has gained significant attention on social media, with their interactions often trending under the hashtag #Melodi.
