How would liberals react when an individual with a nationalistic approach praise the Prime Minister of the nation? Undoubtedly, they will go berserk and spew venoms against that particular individual. Well, liberals have a tendency to demean those who appreciate Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This time, the victim of the relentless attacks of liberals is Ruskin bond, an Indian author. And guess what, he is being slammed for appreciating PM Modi.
Ruskin bond’s new book
You must have read The Blue Umbrella, The Room on the Roof, Time Stops at Shamli etcetera. These books written by Ruskin Bond have helped him gain popularity and love from the masses. As the country celebrated Republic Day this year, Ruskin Bond’s new book, ‘A Little Book of India: Celebrating 75 years of Independence’ was introduced to pay homage to the country.
Released on January 24, 20222 and published by Penguin Random House India (PRHI), the book is a unification of the “physical and spiritual” attributes of India.
The 87-year-old Padma Shri awardee in its introduction of the book, “It is a record of some of my memories and impressions of this unique land — of its rivers and forests, literature and culture, sights, sounds and colours — an amalgamation of the physical and spiritual.”

In his book, he has also dedicated a few lines to Prime Minister Narendra Modi which can be read as, “Narendra Modi, a man of humble beginnings, whose political acumen, natural sagacity, and yogic willpower have brought him to the top and kept him there through two general elections.”
The author gets cancelled by liberal lobby
Despite having multiple bestselling works to his credit, the author is being slammed on Twitter for his contribution towards national interests. The author’s appreciation for PM Modi has irked the liberal lobby on Twitter.

Bond, in 2019 also, had appreciated an initiative launched by PM Modi. He had stated that India has become much cleaner after the adoption of the Swachh Bharat Mission. And, now, his recent comments to appreciate PM Modi clearly indicate that the development programme by him is being recognized rightfully.
