  • Vinod K. Jose, "The Emperor Uncrowned: The rise of Narendra Modi," Caravan Magazine, March 1, 2012 In the article, Jose provides a historical perspective on his subject Narendra Modi: "The transformation of Modi’s image has been powered by a sophisticated public relations campaign, but the embellishments rest on a foundation of genuine accomplishment." Several journalists incorporated parts of Vinod Jose's article, including Simon Denyer's controversial use in The Washington Post and its attributed use by Shoma Chaudhury in a profile on Modi in Tehelka Magazine.A writer from the Wall Street Journal recommended the article and noted, "The piece coincides with the tenth anniversary of the bloody religious riots in the state, which left an indelible stain on the legacy of the chief minister." Ananya Vajpeyi, the author of Righteous Republic: The Political Foundations of Modern India, called Jose's profile on Modi "courageous". The Guardian considered Jose's profile on Modi a "carefully researched article", Le Monde called it "an uncompromising profile", while the New York Times India blog called it "exhaustive". A writer from News Laundry wrote, "Vinod K Jose’s Caravan piece was undoubtedly far more exhaustive, informative and readable than the Wikipedia-with-colour story by Jyoti Thottam in Time."
