Prime Minister Narendra Modi has penned 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 described Meloni’s life as more than just a story of politics and power. He highlighted her courage and unwavering commitment to public service as defining aspects of her journey.

### Leadership Commendation: ‘Meloni Has Provided Strength and Stability to Italy’

PM Modi praised Meloni’s leadership, stating that she has brought strength and stability to Italy. He wrote, “She has always been pragmatic and committed to furthering global good.”

Drawing a parallel to Indian traditions, Modi connected Meloni’s rise to the concept of *Nari Shakti*—the divine feminine energy revered in Indic culture. He observed, “There are various ways to understand as well as appreciate Meloni’s rise and leadership. Among those, I can see a strong connection between her story and the concept of Nari Shakti.”

### Cultural Resonance: ‘India and Italy Bound by Shared Civilizational Instincts’

The Prime Minister noted that Meloni has remained deeply rooted in her heritage while confidently leading her nation on the global stage. Her journey from a modest neighborhood in Rome to holding Italy’s highest political office exemplifies the power of purpose beyond narrow partisan politics.

According to Modi, “Her purpose of defending motherhood, national identity, and tradition will resonate with readers in India. Her belief in defending one’s cultural heritage, while engaging with the world on equal terms, mirrors our own values.”

### Book Endorsement: PM Modi Calls Meloni’s Autobiography ‘Mann Ki Baat’

PM Modi underlined the shared civilizational instincts binding India and Italy—such as safeguarding heritage and celebrating womanhood. He expressed confidence that Meloni’s autobiography would be embraced as a “refreshing story of an outstanding contemporary political leader and patriot.”

He also referred to the book as her “Mann Ki Baat,” echoing the title of his popular monthly radio address to the nation.

The friendship and camaraderie between Modi and Meloni have been widely celebrated on social media, with their interactions frequently going viral under the hashtag #Melodi.
