THE MOST LOVED LEADER!
September 17 celebrates the birthday of PM Narendra Modi, marking a significant occasion for both India and the global stage. Born in 1950, Narendra Damodardas Modi has evolved from a regional leader to a prominent international figure, earning widespread admiration for his impactful leadership. His assertive and strategic approach has notably shaped India’s foreign policy. As he enters the ‘Amrit Kaal’, this milestone offers a chance to reflect on his achievements and the evolving role India plays in global diplomacy under his guidance.
Recently, PM Modi has gained recognition for his role as a potential peacemaker in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with both nations seeking India’s mediation. Modi’s neutral stance and global influence position him as an effective intermediary, showcasing India’s rising role in global peacebuilding.
Beyond Europe, Brunei and Singapore are looking to India as a key partner for economic and strategic growth. Modi’s strengthened “Act East” policy enhances ties with ASEAN, counterbalancing China’s regional influence. For these Southeast Asian nations, India’s market potential and strategic position are valuable assets.
Similarly, the United States, under Modi’s leadership, views India as a crucial ally to counterbalance China’s influence in the Indo-Pacific. The strategic partnership between the two democracies spans defence, trade, and technology, reflecting a shared commitment to global stability and prosperity.
As polls commence in Jammu and Kashmir on September 18, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emphasized the significant milestone of restoring democracy in the region after a decadelong hiatus. This event is a key component of Modi’s broader vision for “Viksit Bharat 2047,” which envisions India as a fully developed nation by its 100th year of independence. This ambitious plan focuses on fostering inclusive growth, advancing technology, and fortifying democratic institutions to ensure balanced and sustainable development across all regions.
Modi’s vision extends beyond political reforms to include economic goals such as achieving a USD 5 trillion economy. This target reflects a commitment to robust economic expansion and global competitiveness. Additionally, Modi’s ongoing efforts to implement ‘One Nation, One Election’ aim to streamline the electoral process, reduce political fragmentation, and enhance governance efficiency. Modi has outlined his vision for the India of tomorrow which resonates with the philosophy of “Sab Ka Saath, Sab Ka Vikas”.
The comprehensive vision laid out by Modi builds on the heritage of India’s rich social and cultural diversity, its tradition, the strength of our human resource and the aspirations of the youth and women. The concept of Brand India encapsulates all the sectors that have the potential to make India a global power. The 5-Ts of Brand India are Talent, Trade, Tradition, Tourism and Technology.
The concept of Rainbow of India envisions 7 key focus areas which will be the overarching theme of all initiatives to make India a developed nation. These themes are India’s Culture, Agriculture, Women, Natural Resources, Youth power, Democracy and Knowledge. Finally, Modi outlined an 8-point key development model, with detailed initiatives on each, to put India back on a high growth path and deliver good governance to the citizens.
In conclusion, PM Modi’s birthday highlights his crucial role in elevating India’s global standing. His leadership is shaping international dynamics and strengthening India’s position in regional and global partnerships. As countries like Russia, Ukraine, Brunei, Singapore, and the US seek India’s cooperation, Modi’s 3rd term reflects India’s growing significance in 21st-century geopolitics.
First India wishes him a very happy birthday and continued success.
