"Modi’s opponents have assured that none of this got any attention outside Gujarat. Since our academia and the social science community has deeply internalised anti-Modi propaganda, no social scientist has bothered to study the story of Kutch rising out of its own ashes, of its transformation from a subsistence economy to among the fastest growing economies of India. Unfortunately, even the BJP has not taken the trouble to let the rest of India know this story."
