Bal Narendra, the son of a tea-seller in a small town of Gujarat, embodies many virtues: courage, wit, diligence, fairness, compassion. He sells tea at a village fair to raise money for flood victims. In devotion to the religious tradition of his village, he swims across a lake full of crocodiles and hoists a flag on top of a temple on an island. All that said, Bal Narendra is a deeply dull comic book that I cannot imagine any child voluntarily reading.

Hammesh Modi of publisher Rannade Prakashan says people close to Modi thought of a book on the lines of Amar Chitra Katha comics and started working on it some six months ago. “We wanted an easy and quick book on Modi to reach people across India.
