Narendra Modi is the 14th and current Prime Minister of India, serving since 2014. A senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party, he previously served as the Chief Minister of Gujarat for over a decade. His tenure has been marked by significant economic reforms, a focus on Hindu nationalist policies, and an assertive foreign policy.

Early life and education

Born on 17 September 1950 in Vadnagar, Gujarat, he was the third of six children in a family belonging to the Ghanchi caste. In his youth, he worked at a family tea stall and later ran one with his brother near the Vadnagar railway station. He joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in his early teens, which profoundly shaped his ideological worldview. He completed a Bachelor of Arts in political science from the University of Delhi through correspondence and later earned a Master of Arts in political science from Gujarat University.

Political career

His formal political career began within the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, where he held several organizational roles. He joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in 1987 and rose through the ranks, becoming a key strategist. He played a significant organizational role in the Ram Janmabhoomi movement and the 1995 Gujarat Legislative Assembly election. Appointed General Secretary of the BJP in 1998, he managed crucial campaigns, including the 1999 Indian general election. In 2001, he was appointed the Chief Minister of Gujarat, a position he held until 2014.

Prime Ministership

Leading the BJP to a historic victory in the 2014 Indian general election, he was sworn in as Prime Minister by President Pranab Mukherjee. His administration was re-elected with an increased mandate in the 2019 Indian general election. Key parliamentary actions during his tenure include the abrogation of Article 370 and the passage of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019. His premiership has overseen events like the COVID-19 pandemic in India and the inauguration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.

Domestic policies

His government has launched several flagship economic initiatives, including Make in India, Digital India, and the Goods and Services Tax. Major welfare schemes include the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, Ayushman Bharat Yojana, and the Swachh Bharat Mission. Infrastructure development has been emphasized through projects like the Statue of Unity and the Bharatmala highway program. His tenure has also seen the implementation of the controversial farm laws, later repealed, and a strong push for Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).

Foreign policy

His foreign policy, termed "Modi doctrine," is characterized by proactive diplomacy and a focus on national security. He has strengthened strategic ties with the United States, Japan, and Israel, while also engaging with traditional partners like Russia. Key initiatives include the Act East Policy and leadership in forums like the G20 and Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. His government has taken a firm stance against cross-border terrorism from Pakistan, exemplified by military actions like the 2016 surgical strikes and the 2019 Balakot airstrike.

Public image and legacy

He is a polarizing figure, celebrated by supporters for his strong leadership and economic vision, but criticized for his handling of the 2002 Gujarat riots and perceived majoritarian politics. His communication style, heavily utilizing social media and the Mann Ki Baat radio program, has created a direct connection with the electorate. His legacy is deeply tied to the political dominance of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's ideological influence on the Indian state. International media and institutions frequently highlight both India's economic growth and concerns over religious freedom and democratic norms during his tenure.
