भीमराव रामजी आंबेडकर केवल भारतीय संविधान के निर्माता एवं करोड़ों शोषित-पीडि़त भारतीयों के मसीहा ही नहीं थे, वे अग्रणी समाज-सुधारक, श्रेष्ठ विचारक, तत्त्वचिंतक, अर्थशास्त्री, शिक्षाशास्त्री, पत्रकार, धर्म के ज्ञाता, कानून एवं नीति निर्माता और महान् राष्ट्रभक्त थे। उन्होंने समाज और राष्ट्रजीवन के हर पहलू पर अपनी अमिट छाप छोड़ी है। सामाजिक समता और बंधुता के आधार पर एक नूतन भारत के निर्माण की नींव रखी। उनका व्यक्तित्व एक विराट् सागर और कृतित्व उत्तुंग हिमालय जैसा था। विगत अनेक वर्षों से वैचारिक अस्पृश्यता और राजनीतिक स्वार्थ के लगातार बढ़ते जा रहे विस्तार ने हमारे जिन राष्ट्रनायकों के बारे में अनेक भ्रांतियुक्त धारणाओं को जनमानस में मजबूत करने का दूषित प्रयत्न किया है, उनमें डॉ. बाबासाहब आंबेडकर प्रमुख हैं। उन्हें किसी जाति या वर्ग विशेष अथवा दल विशेष तक सीमित कर दिए जाने के कारण सामाजिक समता-समरसता ही नहीं, राष्ट्रीय एकता की भी अपूरणीय क्षति हो रही है। इस दृष्टि से चार खंडों में उनका व्यक्तित्व-कृतित्व वर्णित है : खंड एक—‘जीवन दर्शन’, खंड दो—‘व्यक्ति दर्शन’, खंड तीन—‘आयाम दर्शन’ और खंड चार ‘राष्ट्र दर्शन’। डॉ. बाबासाहब भीमराव आंबेडकर को समग्रता में प्रस्तुत करने वाला एक ऐसा अनन्य दस्तावेज है, जो उनके बारे में फैले या फैलाए गए सारे भ्रमों का निवारण करने में तो समर्थ है ही, साथ ही उन्हें एक चरम कोटि के दृष्टापुरुष तथा राष्ट्रनायक के रूप में प्रस्थापित करने में भी पूर्णतः सक्षम है।

भारत की आध्यात्मिकता तथा पश्चिम की विज्ञान और तकनीक—इन दोनों के समन्वय से आनेवाले समय में एक नए भारत का निर्माण होगा, इस दिशा में महान् युगप्रवर्तक स्वामी विवेकानंद ने जोर दिया। ऐसा करना है, तो युवा और आनेवाली पीढ़ी के मानस में परिवर्तन करना होगा। अगर भारत वर्ष का उत्थान करना है तो सबसे पहले भारत के विभिन्न घटकों पर विश्वास आवश्यक है—अपनी धरती पर, अपनी परंपराओं पर, अपनी संस्कृति पर, अपने गौरवशाली अतीत पर। यह एक प्रखर संदेश हमें स्वामीजी से प्राप्त होता है। एक बात उन्होंने हमेशा कही कि एक नया भारत खड़ा हो रहा है। स्वामी विवेकानंद ने युवकों से यह भी अपेक्षा रखी थी—क्या तुम्हें अपने देश से प्रेम है? यदि हाँ, तो आओ, हम लोग उच्चता और उन्नति के मार्ग पर प्रयत्नशील हों। पीछे मुडक़र, मत देखो।

This book is a worthwhile, prolific, and insightful life sketch of the torch-bearer of Indians. It is about the common man’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, who has become a ray of hope for 125 crore Indians—from a humble farmer to an ambitious industrialist—by taking the path to good governance after being sworn in as India's Prime Minister in May 2014. The game-changer of Indian politics, Modi had taken a mesmerising hold over the Gujarat masses with three consecutive victories in the state assembly elections and was a senior campaign adviser, drawing unprecedented crowds for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. After being elected PM, Modi is often featured in 24x7 Breaking News on media channels and enjoys a good rapport with top world leaders whom he visited during his six months as Prime Minister. The insightful leader led India at the India-ASEAN Summit and the G-20 Summit, and held bilateral meetings with the leadership of countries such as the US, Japan, China, and other neighbouring countries of India. He has launched new avenues of cooperation with the countries with which India has deep historical and cultural ties over centuries. His initiatives, such as 'Make in India' and 'Swachchha Bharat Abhiyan', have been widely lauded. Modi has called for innovative efforts to make renewable energy, especially solar energy, competitive with conventional energy and pitched for global cooperation on repatriation of black money.
