Reception
Noted Youtuber and political analyst Gunja Kapoor, on Republic TV's website, wrote that book "puts in perspective the long-standing contribution and perseverance the party has displayed" and added that it "deals with a lot of questions that have now become rhetorical due to the sheer absence of an objective explanation to those questions."[4] T C A Srinivasa Raghavan, writing for Business Standard, called the book as "calm, unhurried and adjective-free narration" of why BJP is an ideological alternative to the Left.[5] With a reference of the book, The Rahnuma Daily, Indian newspaper, wrote that book looks like "honest attempt of the author" to documentise the history and contemporary politics of the BJP.[6] The book is included in the curriculum of undergraduate students studying South Asian Studies at Islamic University of Indonesia.[7][8][9]
