Description

Politics is often seen as a stage of grandeur—red carpets, powerful speeches, and bold headlines.
But behind the curtain lies another world, silent and unseen. It is a place of sleepless nights, painful compromises, and moments of haunting solitude. This book, Smiles Behind the Curtain of Power, was born from my desire to explore that hidden world. It is not a biography of any one Prime Minister, nor a chronicle of specific events. Rather, it is a portrait of the emotional burden of leadership, woven from fragments of truth, observation, and imagination.

While researching and writing, I was struck by how often public narratives erase the human struggles of leaders. We demand perfection from them while forgetting that they, too, are bound by fears, regrets, and silent sacrifices. Through the chapters ahead, you will journey through a Prime Minister’s inner world—his doubts, dilemmas, and dreams. You will witness the quiet storms that rage within even as he appears calm before cameras. You will see that behind every smile lies a shadow, and behind every decision, a human heart wrestling with consequence.

This book is not just about politics; it is about life, morality, and the shared responsibility we carry as a nation. It asks a question: What does it truly cost to wear the crown of power? As you read, I invite you to look beyond the headlines and see the human story beneath. If, by the final page, you find yourself reflecting not only on the Prime Minister but on your own role in shaping society, then this book will have served its purpose.

As per Manuscript Reader :-

When a manuscript is first read, it carries with it the pulse of its creator. The initial feedback I received left me humbled and encouraged. Readers described this work as “deeply human,” “unflinchingly honest,” and “a rare blend of emotion and intellect.” Some were moved to silence, others to tears. One reader confessed, “I never imagined the loneliness that sits inside those walls of power. This book changed how I see leadership forever.” Another remarked, “It reads like both a political novel and a meditation on life. You’ve given voice to thoughts many have felt but never spoken.” Perhaps the most meaningful response came from a young reader who wrote, “I started this book curious about politics. I finished it thinking about humanity.” Such words remind me that stories have the power to bridge worlds. This book is not just mined anymore—it now belongs to those who read, reflect, and carry its questions forward.
