New Delhi : Nearly 40% of the 1.22 billion population of India will decide the political destiny in Red Fort in 2014. The main agenda is that the current politicians must mirror youthful ambitions, ideals and aspirations. Otherwise, India will find itself trapped in the old and obsolete. For progress to come, prosper and continue India needs progressive leaders who think beyond the individual and interest group, the only interest group should be for India and its place in the global community.

This book attempts to explain why Jayalalithaa Amma is important. What qualities does she possess that makes her the best among the other leaders? This book is not an autobiography of Jayalalithaa Amma,  but an assessment of the positive and negative qualities of each leader who appears to be in the run for prime minister. It is intended to provide a sketch or profile of India’s leaders, past and present, and to underscore how Jayalalithaa compares with them overall. It is a simple document portraying the good leaders available to us now. The book fully explains why Amma has emerged as the best choice for a national leader role in 2014.

Dr Pon Mohaideen Pitchai, Author, Amma – Metamorphosis into National Leader, says, “India has produced great engineers, IT specialists and scientists who have contributed globally, but seems to be incapable of grooming its own leaders to lead it towards a better future . As a Human Resource expert, I am keenly aware of the nuances in the behaviour of other people. I have extensive knowledge of leadership behaviour in general. It is one of my responsibilities to guide and help improve the young population of people aged between 18 and 35, who will be the ones to decide the fate of the Central Government in 2014. They must decide on who exactly are the right people to govern this country. They must select the best PM candidate who can drive us all to development. The opinions aired here come only with the best intentions, and are meant to support Amma’s government efforts in the future. People must know the reality of her contributions and challenges she has faced as a public servant.”

“I had talked to many people who are all educated and well-versed in Indian politics. 75% of them appreciated Amma’s motivation and future plan to uplift Tamil Nadu. Amma has shown courage, tenacity and a strong willpower to overcome all obstacles, and also shrewdness in judging the pulse of the public. She has all the qualities of leadership – charisma, oratorical skills, intelligence, administrative ability, quick grasp, etc. She has grown away from her intemperate style and is one of India’s great leaders. For all the above reasons, I had the urge to do an opinion survey and bring the good deeds of Amma in front of the people. This will only help in developing the good future of India. “

More than 500 people were interviewed in the past year during the initial stages of writing this book. The interviews were conducted on an informal basis in India, the GCC countries, Australia, Canada, UK, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. A Competency Grid was prepared by the author for Rahul, Modi and Jayalalithaa for comparing their Leadership Levels and Amma came out to be the strongest and most credible candidate for Prime Minister.

The book covers the Indian Political and socio economic struggle showcasing the review of the political parties in India. The books also throw a light on the India’s leadership vacuum, that how it had faced the shortage of the true leaders and the awful effects of it. There is also a take on the earlier leaders who have helped in building the future of India. The author has also compared a few politicians on certain parameters (Experience, leadership skills, national outlook, Economic Knowledge etc.) as to come on a conclusion of the best contender for the next PM. Then finally is the Metamorphosis of the Amma, her achievements, her SWOT Analysis as a National Leader, an overview of her Government’s performance etc.
