Description: On May 16, 2014, Narendra Modi was declared the winner of the largest democratic election ever conducted in human history. But how did this impoverished chai wallah, who sold tea on trains as a boy, rise to become Prime Minister of India? Price examines Modi's character and his position as leader of an increasingly powerful nation, and explores the global impact of Modi's victory as well as on India itself.
