  • ... that Price of the Modi Years states that India lost 20% of its workforce under Prime Minister Narendra Modi? Source: Aakar Patel: ‘Modi shrank India’s workforce by a fifth’ Hindu

Source:moneycontrol In conclusion, Patel writes that “Modi’s popularity does not come from his performance.”

  • ALT2 ... that the book Price of the Modi Years found 115 acronyms used by Modi government to be promotional?
    Source: same as above "Patel also comments on the current dispensation’s love for acronyms and alliterations—Patel provides 115 of them, which put a “PR spin to everything”."

    Source: same as above "In his book, Patel writes that the Modi-led government has only changed previously rolled-out schemes’ names and presented them anew, often using the prefix PM. Patel writes that when the Congress MP Shashi Tharoor pointed this out, saying that there were 23 such schemes, he was right about 19 of them."

  • Since the article/hook has already been approved, I'll leave that up to Venkat TL We might simply want to mention that in the lede, again, if Venkat TL thinks the statement is ledeworthy. Of course I suppose you're free to make such an edit. I've no objections. Cheers. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 23:15, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Let's get this show on the road. I made some copy edits, including some minor ones for neutrality--note the addition of "it claims" in the lead, "The book examines the potential human and economic price that it claims India will be paying". It seems obvious to me. I'm choosing ALT1, because it's not "negative"; I don't really see POV problems here in the first place, but this hook cannot be claimed to be negative, and it's properly ascribed to the book. As for the article, it could do with more copy edits, but it's good enough for the DYK section. Drmies (talk) 18:10, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion of POV concerns

[edit]

There is a discussion about NPOV/POV of this article at Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Prep 5: Price of the Modi years - redux. Would be good for people to input there. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:58, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

About the author

[edit]

Can't remember any articles where there is an 'about the author' section. Looked at a few non-fiction books: Glimpses of World History, Antifragile,The God that failed Also, the same information is being repeated verbatim in the article on Our Hindu Rashtra.

Because the author is same. Not a sufficient reason to delete. There are many articles with this info. Look more. --Venkat TL (talk) 09:24, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
