Politics is often seen as a stage of grandeur-red carpets, powerful speeches, and bold headlines. But behind the curtain lies another world, silent and unseen. It is a place of sleepless nights, painful compromises, and moments of haunting solitude. This book, Smiles Behind the Curtain of Power, was born from my desire to explore that hidden world.

Politics is often seen as a stage of grandeur-red carpets, powerful speeches, and bold headlines. But behind the curtain lies another world, silent and unseen. It is a place of sleepless nights, painful compromises, and moments of haunting solitude. This book, Smiles Behind the Curtain of Power, was born from my desire to explore that hidden world. It is not a biography of any one prime minister, nor a chronicle of specific events. Rather, it is a portrait of the emotional burden of leadership, woven from fragments of truth, observation, and imagination. While researching and writing, I was struck by how often public narratives erase the human struggles of leaders. We demand perfection from them while forgetting that they, too, are bound by fears, regrets, and silent sacrifices. Through the chapters ahead, you will journey through a prime minister's inner world-his doubts, dilemmas, and dreams. You will witness the quiet storms that rage within even as he appears calm before cameras. You will see that behind every smile lies a shadow, and behind every decision, a human heart wrestling with consequence. This book is not just about politics; it is about life, morality, and the shared responsibility we carry as a nation. It asks a question: What does it truly cost to wear the crown of power? As you read, I invite you to look beyond the headlines and see the human story beneath. If, by the final page, you find yourself reflecting not only on the Prime Minister but on your own role in shaping society, then this book will have served its purpose. In the corridors of power, silence is often louder than speech. Behind every smile broadcasted on a television screen, behind every rally where thousands roar in praise or protest, and behind every firm handshake with a foreign dignitary lies a hidden mind-troubled, calculating, burdened. "Smiles behind the Curtain of Power" is not merely a book; it is an introspective satire, a fictional yet emotionally piercing dive into the unspoken corners of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mind. This book is not about policy, propaganda, or party lines. It is about pain, patience, power, and paradox. It is about the moments no camera captures-the tremble in the fingers before signing an order that may cost lives, the solitary walk after hearing about soldiers martyred in Pulwama, the silent tears after a plane crash wipes out lives too close to national pride. India's prime minister is often seen as a stoic figure, commanding stages and silencing oppositions with strategic brilliance. But what happens when the loudness of war, the cruelty of terrorist attacks, and the shadows of mysterious crashes surround him? What goes on in the mind that has to appear confident, even when everything is falling apart? These are moments when the PM, in fictional solitude, argues with him-about morality, about nationalism, about the cost of political decisions. Sometimes, his only confidante is the mirror; sometimes, it's the cold silence of Kedarnath's temple cave. Through these chapters, we do not paint Modi as a demon or a deity, but as a deeply conflicted man, carrying the hopes of 1.4 billion on a spine that bends under invisible pressure. The satire is gentle yet thought-provoking. It pokes whom it hurts, not to mock, but to uncover truths veiled in the fog of nationalism. This is the story of a prime minister, not as a ruler, but as a human being stitched with flaws, regrets, and a persistent desire to leave behind a legacy that history will not laugh at.
