PM Modi’s podcast interview has offered a fresh opportunity to both India and China to share their views on sensitive issues: Dr Chandra

In the latest segment of The JC Show, Dr Jagdeesh Chandra opines that India is elated with the return of Sunita Williams, marking a moment of pride for the nation. He further says that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement on Sunita’s remarkable achievements resonates deeply, as she continues to cherish her roots in India and that Modi’s leadership as a global statesman is evident, as he shapes India’s foreign policy and strengthens international relations. Dr Chandra stresses that PM’s diplomatic success is reflected in his interactions with global leaders, including Trump and Putin, and in India’s rising influence in the Indo-Pacific and that the recent intelligence summit in Delhi and Modi’s relationship with key global leaders further solidify India’s global position. Excerpts...

  • The entire country is thrilled about the return of India’s daughter Sunita Williams after 9 months and 14 days. What do you have to say about this?
    Dr Jagdeesh Chandra:
    A heartfelt welcome for India’s daughter... We welcome her with open arms. This is a matter of pride, honour, and excitement for the entire nation. Prime Minister Modi himself has written a letter to Sunita, saying, “Though you were thousands of miles away, the people of India were wishing you good health.” He also mentioned, “All 1.4 billion Indians are proud of your accomplishment.” Furthermore, he extended an invitation to her to visit India, stating, “It would be a matter of joy for us if you visit India.” There’s an interesting coincidence here – Sunita Williams’ father runs a business in Mehsana, Gujarat, while Narendra Modi hails from Vadnagar, a nearby town. The atmosphere there is like Diwali today, with people distributing sweets. Sunita is of Indian origin, an American astronaut, and she still holds immense love and respect for India. I have heard that she still desires to receive the holy Ganga water from Prayagraj and the Bhagavad Gita. We hope that Prime Minister Modi will fulfil her wish. Dr. Jitendra Singh has also congratulated the nation on this occasion. The most fascinating part is that even Elon Musk has said that they have fulfilled their promise of bringing stranded astronauts back to Earth. This event signifies that the relationship between Narendra Modi and Donald Trump will grow stronger. Overall, it’s a grand welcome for India’s daughter, and we extend our heartfelt congratulations.
  • The headline of today’s show is “NaMo: The Global Statesman.” What does this mean?
    The meaning of this is that once again, Narendra Modi has proved that he is the real global statesman, the global leader. He is redefining Indian foreign policy. Most nations, in fact, the entire world, has acknowledged Modi as a global leader. In this podcast, Narendra Modi spoke like a very mature and visionary leader, with a clear mind and a roadmap for India’s future by 2047, envisioning India as a developed nation. When we talk about global leaders, Modi is counted among the three big leaders: Trump, the Chinese President, and Putin. Among these, when we look at the scale of popularity, the population of Modi’s supporters, and his accomplishments, it sometimes seems that Modi might be number one in the race for a global statesman. That’s my personal observation. Hence, it is rightly said that Modi is now the real ‘Global Statesman.’
  • What is the overall message of the 3 hours and 14-minute interview between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the famous podcaster Lex Fridman?
    The biggest message from the interview is that it marks a shift from traditional media to modern channels of communication. Another important point is that Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister of the 21st century, adapting to new technologies and communication methods. He shared candid reflections on his childhood, education, political journey, and leadership. He also paid high tributes to his late mother and father. This interview also sheds light on his political agenda, ideology, and commitment, as well as his aspirations for India’s transformation into a highly developed nation. Furthermore, the message is that the dominance of top anchors from major media channels has been virtually abolished by Modi. He has changed the world of anchoring, where no one is indispensable. Regarding political ideology, Modi believes that no leader can progress without a strong ideology. Mahatma Gandhi and Savarkar had different ideologies, but they shared a common goal: to free India. Modi’s ideology and vision were presented clearly in this interview to the world.
  • Prime Minister Modi referred to Trump as a bold person who makes his own decisions. What does this comment by Modi mean?
    The meaning behind this comment is that Modi was reminded of an incident in 2019 when he visited Houston and Texas for the “Howdy Modi” event, which saw a remarkable turnout of over 1,00,000 people. Trump was also present, and both leaders gave speeches. When Modi was speaking, Trump sat in the audience and listened attentively. Modi expressed his gratitude towards Trump, appreciating his humility in listening to his speech. After Modi finished, he went down to mingle with the crowd, which is a typical characteristic of his personality. He asked Trump if he’d like to take a walk around the stadium, to which Trump immediately agreed, breaking all security protocols and holding Modi’s hand. This act deeply touched Modi. He described Trump as a courageous person who makes his own decisions. Of course, Trump’s decisions, whether positive or negative, are a separate issue, but it is clear that he is a bold decision-maker.
  • Prime Minister Modi said that both he and Trump put their nations first; that is the connection between them. Would you like to comment on that?
    Yes, it’s true. There is a strong connection between the two, and a significant factor is a shared sense of nationalism that resonates in both Modi and Trump. Both of them deeply care about their countries, and this mutual respect is apparent. That’s why, even when discussing sensitive topics, we’ve seen Trump pause and carefully consider his words. There is a special bond between Modi and India, and Trump and the U.S. The respect they have for each other stems from their commitment to putting their nations first—India First and U.S. First. Recently, Tulsi Gabbard, the intelligence chief, was in India and even acknowledged this connection between Modi and Trump, saying that she agrees with this shared perspective.
  • How does PM Modi view the difference between Trump’s first and second terms?
    The basic difference I see is that Narendra Modi feels more focused during Trump’s second term. His roadmap is clearer than before. The second term feels more focused because time is limited, but there is much more to accomplish. Another aspect Modi admires is Trump’s strong and cohesive team. There is a sense of camaraderie within Trump’s team, which is different from what is seen in many other countries where internal divisions exist. Modi also mentioned how meeting people like Musk, Tulsi, and Vivek felt like meeting family members. He is highly impressed by the unity within Trump’s team, and this is reflected in how Modi runs his own team at the PMO, which is alert, results-oriented, and closely knit, much like a family.
  • During the New Zealand PM’s visit to India, Narendra Modi reaffirmed his leadership in the Indo-Pacific countries. What do you think of this?
    This is a fact. I believe that slowly, Narendra Modi is emerging as a powerful leader of the Indo-Pacific region. New Zealand is a major nation, and its Prime Minister has clearly stated that India, under Modi’s leadership, is the country that will protect their interests in the Indian Ocean. They signed defence pacts and security cooperation agreements, and discussions on a free trade agreement are underway. Modi’s vision is becoming the shared vision of many nations, particularly with regard to the importance of free movement in the South China Sea and the sovereignty of nations. Modi is emerging as a vocal leader of the Indo-Pacific region, and New Zealand is a recent addition to this growing influence.
  • When will the collective efforts of Trump, Putin, and Narendra Modi to stop the RussiaUkraine war bear fruit?
    It now seems that a ceasefire may be just one step away. Reports indicate that Trump and Putin have been in talks for over two hours, and they have agreed to a 30-day ceasefire as the first step. Putin has assured that this will eventually lead to a permanent ceasefire. The agreement also specifies that infrastructure and energy projects will be protected from bombing during this ceasefire. However, Ukrainian President Zelensky is unhappy, as he was not included in the peace talks. He believes that European countries should be part of these discussions. Despite these concerns, it seems the ceasefire is now on the brink of happening.
  • Just two days ago, 20 intelligence chiefs from various countries, including U.S. intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard, gathered in Delhi. How do you see Tulsi Gabbard’s visit to India? Is this another diplomatic success for Narendra Modi?
    Absolutely, this is a big event. Where else would so many intelligence heads gather, especially in a country like India? After New York, New Delhi has become a major hub for international leaders. The discussions on counter-terrorism and intelligence sharing are highly significant. India is playing a central role in this global dialogue. Tulsi Gabbard met with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and also with the Prime Minister, who gifted her Ganga water. This diplomatic and administrative success further strengthens India’s position globally.
  • What did Tulsi Gabbard say about Islamic terrorism, Pakistan, and Bangladesh?
    Tulsi Gabbard emphasized the need to eliminate Islamic terrorism globally, including in Pakistan. Regarding Bangladesh, she expressed concern over the treatment of minorities, particularly Hindus, and the destruction of temples. This aligns with India’s stance on global terrorism. Trump had previously mentioned that the issue in Bangladesh was something he left to Modi, and Tulsi’s comments endorse India’s position on both Bangladesh and global Islamic terrorism.
  • What did Modi say about the philosophy of life and death in the interview?
    Modi said something simple but profound: “Death is certain, so why fear what is inevitable? Embrace life, stay happy, stay content.”
