Prime Minister Narendra Modi's book 'Exam Warriors', which ruled as number one in the non-fiction list for quite some time, is now available in Urdu. The Urdu version of the book was launched in the national capital on Saturday. This is the 15th language in which the book has been published. 'Exam Warriors', launched earlier this year, already has versions in 14 languages including Hindi and English. The book - published by Penguin Random House - is also available in a digital format on Narendra Modi Mobile App.
The book was launched at a function organised by the India Islamic Cultural Centre. The event was attended by Union Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Prakash Javadekar, Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, and MoS for PMO Personnel Jitendra Singh attended the launch, along with film actors Rishi Kapoor, Annu Kapoor and filmmaker Muzaffar Ali and hundreds of school children. "No one else could have written this book. Narendra Modi is the first Prime Minister to have come from the ground-level after many years...We have spent many decades in a feudal hangover," Singh said at the event.
In praise of Urdu, he said there are many people who are not able to read Urdu script but want to read it, and for them, it is not unlikely that an Urdu version written in the Hindi script may be launched in future. HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar, who had recently launched the Telugu translation of the book, said that it is not only for children but for parents also who unnecessarily pressurise their children during exams.
The 193-page book, which was released earlier this year just a few days before the commencement of CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) board exams, has 25 chapters. In the book, PM Modi has talked about some yoga exercises and the importance of the quality of sleep required for students to beat the stress.
