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 highlights that Meloni’s life is not merely a tale of politics or power but also a story of courage and a deep commitment to public service.
### Leadership Commendation: Meloni’s Strength and Stability for Italy
Modi praised Meloni’s leadership, emphasizing the strength and stability she has brought to Italy. He wrote, “She has always been pragmatic and committed to furthering global good.”
Drawing a parallel with Indian cultural values, PM Modi likened Meloni’s journey to the concept of *Nari Shakti*—the divine feminine energy celebrated in Indic traditions. He said, “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 Instincts Between India and Italy
PM Modi also noted that Meloni has remained deeply rooted in her origins while confidently guiding her nation on the global stage. Her transformation from a modest neighborhood in Rome to Italy’s highest political office exemplifies the power of purpose over narrow partisan politics.
According to Modi, Meloni’s dedication to defending motherhood, national identity, and tradition will strongly resonate with Indian readers. “Her belief in defending one’s cultural heritage, while engaging with the world on equal terms, mirrors our own values,” he observed.
### Book Endorsement: A ‘Mann Ki Baat’ for Readers
The Prime Minister expressed confidence that Meloni’s autobiography would be well received as a “refreshing story of an outstanding contemporary political leader and patriot.” He affectionately referred to the book as her *Mann Ki Baat*, echoing the name of his own popular monthly radio address to the Indian nation.
The warm friendship between PM Modi and PM Meloni has garnered attention on social media, with their playful and cordial interactions frequently going viral under the hashtag #Melodi.
