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 will be published by Rupa Publications in India.
In his foreword, PM Modi highlighted that Meloni’s life story transcends politics and power; it is also about courage and unwavering commitment to public service.
### Commending Meloni’s Leadership
PM Modi praised Meloni for providing strength and stability to Italy during her tenure. He remarked, “She has always been pragmatic and committed to furthering global good.” Drawing a cultural parallel, he compared Meloni’s journey to the concept of *Nari Shakti* (divine feminine energy), a revered ideal in Indic traditions.
“There are various ways to understand and appreciate Meloni’s rise and leadership. Among those, I see a strong connection between her story and the concept of Nari Shakti,” Modi wrote.
### Shared Cultural Values
Noting Meloni’s rootedness despite leading Italy confidently on the international stage, Modi reflected on her humble beginnings in a modest Roman neighborhood. Her ascent to Italy’s highest political office exemplifies the power of purpose over narrow partisan politics.
“Her purpose of defending motherhood, national identity, and tradition will resonate deeply with readers in India,” he noted. “Her belief in defending cultural heritage while engaging globally on equal terms mirrors our own values.”
### Endorsing the Autobiography
PM Modi warmly endorsed Meloni’s autobiography, describing it as a “refreshing story of an outstanding contemporary political leader and patriot.” He likened it to his own *Mann Ki Baat*, his monthly radio address to the Indian nation, calling Meloni’s book her own *Mann Ki Baat*.
The friendship between PM Modi and PM Meloni has been widely celebrated on social media, often going viral under the hashtag #Melodi, symbolizing their popular and dynamic rapport.
