In Brief About Narendra Modi

Narendra Modi in 2017

Narendra Damodardas Modi is an Indian politician. He is 14th and current Prime Minister of India, in office since May 2014. He was the Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014, and is the Member of Parliament for Varanasi. Modi is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is a Hindu nationalist and member of the right- wing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

Narendra Modi was born on 17 September 1950 to a family of grocers in Vadnagar, Mehsana district,

Bombay State (Now Gujarat).He was the third of six children born to Damodardas Mulchand (c. 1915-1989) and Hiraben Modi (born c. 1920). Modi's family belonged to the Modh-Ghanchi-Teli community, which is Categorised as an Other Backward Class by Indian Government.

As a child, Modi helped his father sell tea at the Vadnagar railway station, and later ran a tea stall with his brother near a bus terminus. Modi completed his higher secondary education in Vadnagar in 1967.

When eight years old, Modi discovered the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), and began attending its local shakhas. There, Modi met Lakshmanrao Inamdar, popularly known as vakil sahab, who inducted him as a balswayamsevak (junior cadet) for RSS and became his political mentor. While Modi was training with the RSS, he also met Vasant Gajendragadkar and Nathalal Jaghda, Bharatiya Jana Sangh leaders who were founding members of the BJP's Gujarat unit in 1980.Engaged

while still a child to Jashodaben, a girl from a family who lived close by, Modi rejected the arranged marriage at the same time he graduated from high school. The resulting familial tensions contributed

to his decision to leave home in 1967.

Modi traveled around India for two years, and visited a number of religious centres .He returned to Gujarat and moved to Ahmedabad in 1969 or 1970. There, Modi lived with his uncle, working in the latter's canteen at the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation.

In Ahmedabad, Modi renewed his acquaintance with Inamdar, who was based at the hedgewar Bhavan (RSS Headquaters) in the city. After the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971, he stopped working for his uncle and became a full time pracharak (campaigner) for the RSS, working under Inamdar. Shortly before the war, Modi took part in a non-violent protest against the Indian Government in New Delhi, for which he was arrested, this has been cited as a reason for Inamdar electing to mentor him.

In 1978 Modi received a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from School of Open Learning at University of Delhi, graduating with a third class . Five years later, in degree in political science from Gujarat University.

During the state of emergency imposed across the country in 1975,  Modi was forced to go into hiding. The RSS assigned him to the BJP in 1985, and he held several positions within the party hierarchy until 2001, rising to the rank of general secretary.

Modi was appointed Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001, due to Keshubai Patel's failing health and poor public image following the earthquake in Bruj. Modi was elected to the legislative assembly soon after. His administrative has been considered complicit in the 2002 Gujarat riots, or otherwise criticised for its handling of it, although a court found no evidence to prosecute Modi. His policies as Chief Minister, credited with encouraging economic growth, have received praise. His administration has been criticised for failing to significantly improve health, poverty, and education indicies in the state.

Modi led the BJP in the 2014 general election, which gave the party a majority in the Lok Sabha, the first time a single party had achieved this since 1984. Modi himself was elected to parliament from Varanasi. Since taking office, Modi's administration has tried to raise foreign direct investment in the Indian economy, increased spending on infrastructure, and reduced spending on healthcare and social welfare programmes. Modi has attempted to improve efficiency in the bureaucracy, and centralised power through the abolition of the planning commission. He has begun a high - profile sanitation campaign, and weakened or abolished environmental and labour laws. Credited with engineering a

political realignment towards right - wing politics, Modi remains a figure of controversy domestically and internationally over his Hindu nationalist beliefs and his role during the 2002 Gujarat riots, cited as evidence of an exclusionary social agenda.
