Mughal Modi-- odyssey of an India Today cover.



When Narendra Modi was announced as the BJP's candidate for Prime Minister last October, i predicted he would become larger than the party. Hence, the sketch, far left on Nov 1. When the time came for a story on how he was reorganising the party, it was time to turn the sketch into a cover. The water-colour on April 7. It was based on a famous Mughal miniature of Emperor Jehangir with a rose. This was finally realised as a photo-visual by Rohit Chawla for the issue which hit the stands on April 18.
