Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, one of India's oldest universities, has introduced a pioneering sociology module titled 'Modi Tattva' within its Master's program. This course aims to study Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership philosophy through established sociological frameworks, particularly focusing on his 'charismatic leadership' style. The module comprises four papers, each featuring 15 hours of instruction, and covers themes such as media and digital nationalism, citizenship, and identity politics. Virendra Singh, head of the sociology department, emphasized that the course will analyze the factors contributing to Modi's popularity and long-term acceptance. Key policy decisions, including the November 2016 demonetisation, digital initiatives, and the work of the Jal Shakti Ministry, will also be examined to understand how these reflect the Prime Minister's response to public expectations. The idea for this module originated from fieldwork conducted by students in rural areas, which revealed sociological influences tied to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in public project implementation. Additionally, the course will explore broader themes of nationalism and cultural identity, incorporating the contributions of historical figures like Sayajirao Gaekwad III and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
