The biography by Tarun Vijay, a BJP MP and a journalist, has been published by Sichuan University's South Asia Study Centre.
In his message for the book dated April 15, 2014, Modi had said he hoped the book will enable Chinese friends to have a glimpse of what is happening in India right now.
Modi said the book will act as a window to the contemporary scenario in India and shall hopefully help to open up "understanding and companionship".
