Maharaja Sayajirao University in Baroda, Gujarat, India, has added a module on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership philosophy, titled 'Modi Tattva,' to its sociology curriculum for BA and MA students. This course will be part of a paper on the 'Sociology of Patriotism' and will explore various themes such as geo-nationalism and cultural nationalism. Sociology department head Virendra Singh emphasized the importance of discussing PM Modi's political role and leadership, drawing parallels with figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. The course will require students to engage with Modi's public acceptance and electoral presence, analyzing significant policy measures including the November 2016 demonetisation of ₹500 and ₹1000 notes, digital initiatives, and the establishment of the Jal Shakti Ministry. The module will consist of 60 hours of teaching and will carry four credits. Its design was informed by fieldwork conducted by postgraduate students during surveys related to a NITI Aayog project, which highlighted the role of individuals affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in public program implementation.
