Childhood and Early life :

Narendra Damodardas Modi was born on 17 September 1950 in a Gujarati Hindu family of grocers in Vadnagar, Mehsana district, Bombay State (Which is present day known as Gujarat).  Modi’s father’s name was Damodardas Mulchand Modi . His mother’s name is Hiraben Modi. 

In his 13 years as Gujarat’s chief minister, Modi rarely discussed his family history. As the 2014 midterm elections approached, he started to frequently mention his low socioeconomic status and having to work as a young child in his father’s tea business on the Vadnagar train station platform.

In 1967, Modi finished his higher secondary education in Vadnagar, where his instructors characterized him as an ordinary student who was a good debater and had a passion for the performing arts. In theater works, Modi tended to play larger-than-life characters, which has affected his political persona.

Modi Joined RSS

Modi was accepted into the RSS as a balswayamsevak, and Lakshmanrao Inamdar afterwards served as his political mentor. Modi met Vasant Gajendragadkar and Nathalal Jaghda, two Bharatiya Jana Sangh stalwarts who were founding members of the BJP’s Gujarat chapter in 1980, while he was training with the RSS.

Jashodaben Modi and Narendra Modi were married at the age of 18 in accordance with his caste family rite. When Jashodaben wed Modi, she was barely 17 years old. Modi wanted to Join RSS As a pracharak that’s why Modi never consummated about his marriage in publically , But during 2014 election Modi started to accept this things publically. 

 Modi spent two years traveling throughout Northern and North-Eastern India. According to reports, Vivekananda had a significant impact on Modi’s life. The Hindu ashrams created by Swami Vivekananda that Modi visited include the Belur Math in Kolkata.

He also visited the Advaita Ashrama in Almora, and the Ramakrishna Mission in Rajkot.

In1968, Modi reached the Belur Math but was turned away, after which Modi wandered through Calcutta, West Bengal and Assam, stopping in Siliguri and Guwahati. 

Modi and Inamdar, who worked at the local RSS headquarters known as the Hedgewar Bhavan, reconnected in Ahmedabad. According to Modi’s words, he participated in a Jana Sangh Satyagraha in Delhi in 1971 under the leadership of Atal Bihari Vajpayee in order to enroll for the Bangladesh Liberation War. This was his first known political involvement as an adult. Modi claims he spent a brief time in Tihar Jail as a result of the national government, which Indira Gandhi commanded, forbidding open support for the Mukti Bahini.

After the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War, he joined the RSS as a full-time pracharak (campaigner), serving as Inamdar’s assistant. Modi participated in a non-violent protest against the Indian government in New Delhi just before the war, for which he claims he was detained.

In 1978 Modi received a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the School of distance Learning at the University of Delhi, graduating with a third class. Five years later, in 1983, he received a Master of Arts degree in political science from Gujarat University.

Early in his political career:  

India’s state of emergency, which was imposed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in June 1975, lasted until 1977. Many of her political rivals were imprisoned and opposition organizations were outlawed at this time. The Gujarat Lok Sangharsh Samiti, an RSS organization coordinating opposition to the Emergency in Gujarat, chose Modi general secretary. The RSS was prohibited soon after. In Gujarat, Modi was compelled to live in secret and frequently traveled while wearing a disguise. Sangharsh Ma Gujarat (In The Struggles of Gujarat), a book written by Modi in Gujarati, details what happened during the Emergency. He came into contact with various prominent national political figures as well as trade unionist and socialist campaigner George Fernandes.

Modi became a regional organizer of the RSS in 1978, overseeing RSS activities in the Surat and Vadodara areas, and in 1979 went to work for the RSS in Delhi, where he was tasked with researching and writing the RSS version of the history of the Emergency. He returned to Gujarat shortly thereafter and was assigned by the RSS to the BJP in 1985. In 1987, Modi helped organize the BJP’s campaign in the Ahmedabad municipal elections, which the BJP won comfortably; Biographers have described Modi’s planning as the reason for this result. After LK Advani became BJP president in 1986, the RSS decided to place its members in important positions within the BJP; Modi’s work during the Ahmedabad elections led to his selection for the role and Modi was later elected as the organizing secretary of the Gujarat unit of the BJP in 1987.

Promotion of Modi as  BJP general secretary :

Modi rose in the party and was appointed as a member of the BJP National Election Committee in 1990. Modi helped organize Lal Krisna Advani’s 1990 Ram Rath Yatra and Murli Manohar Joshi’s 1991–92 Ekta Yatra. Modi returned to electoral politics in 1994, partly at Advani’s urging, and as party secretary, Modi’s electoral strategy was seen as central to the BJP’s victory in the 1995 state assembly elections. In November of that year, Modi was appointed BJP national secretary and transferred to New Delhi where he took charge of party activities in Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. In the selection committee for the 1998 Gujarat Assembly elections, Modi favored supporters of BJP leader Keshubhai Patel over those supporting Vaghela to end factionalism in the party. His strategy was credited as key to the BJP winning an overall majority in the 1998 elections, and Modi was promoted to BJP general secretary (organisation) in May of that year.

Modi as a Chief Minister of Gujarat:

First time Narendra Modi as CM:

In 2001, Keshubhai Patel’s health was failing and the BJP lost several seats in the state assembly in a by-election. Allegations of abuse of power, corruption and mismanagement were made, and Patel’s standing was damaged by his administration’s handling of the 2001 Bhuj earthquake. The BJP national leadership was looking for a new chief ministerial candidate, and Modi, who had expressed doubts about Patel’s administration, was selected as a replacement. Although BJP leader L. K. Advani did not want to ostracize Patel and was concerned about Modi’s lack of experience in government, Modi declined an offer to become Patel’s deputy chief minister, telling Advani and Atal Bihari Vajpayee that he “will be fully responsible for Gujarat.” or not at all”. On 3 October 2001, he replaced Patel as Chief Minister of Gujarat with responsibility for preparing the BJP for the December 2002 elections. Modi was sworn in as Chief Minister on 7 October 2001 and entered the Gujarat state legislature on 24 February 2002 by winning a by-election to the Rajkot – II constituency, defeating Ashwin Mehta of the Indian National Congress.

2002 Godhra riots:

On 27 February 2002, a train carrying several hundred passengers caught fire near Godhra, killing approximately 60 people. The train was carrying a large number of Hindu pilgrims returning from Ayodhya after a religious ceremony. In a public statement after the incident, Modi said it was a terrorist attack planned and organized by local Muslims. The next day, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad called a statewide bandh. During the bandh, riots broke out and anti-Muslim violence spread across Gujarat. The government’s decision to shift the bodies of the train victims from Godhra to Ahmedabad fueled the violence further. The state government later said 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus were killed. Independent sources put the death toll at over 2K, overwhelmingly Muslims Around 1.5 Lacs people were driven into refugee camps. Among the victims were many women and children; the violence included the mass rape and mutilation of women.

The Gujarat government itself is generally seen by scholars as complicit in the riots, and has otherwise come under heavy criticism for its handling of the situation. Several scholars described the violence as a pogrom, while others called it an example of state terrorism. Modi’s government imposed curfews in 26 major cities, issued shoot-down orders and called in the army to patrol the streets, but failed to prevent the violence from escalating. The BJP state unit president expressed support for the bandh despite such actions being illegal at the time. Government officials later prevented victims of the riots from leaving the refugee camps, and the camps were often unable to meet the needs of those who lived in them. Muslim victims of the riots were subjected to further discrimination when the state government announced that compensation for Muslim victims would be half of what was offered to Hindus, although this decision was later overturned after the case was brought to court.

Blaming of Gujrat roits :

Modi’s personal involvement in the 2002 events continues to be debated. During the riots, Modi said that “What is happening is a chain of actions and reactions”. Later in 2002, Modi said that the way he handled the media was his only regret about the episode. In March 2008, the Supreme Court reopened several cases related to the 2002 riots, including the Gulbarg massacre, and set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to look into the issue. In response to a petition by Zakia Jafri (widow of Ehsan Jafri, who was killed in the Gulbarg carnage), in April 2009 the court also asked the SIT to probe the issue of Modi’s complicity in the killings. The SIT questioned Modi in March 2010; in May she submitted a report to the court that found no evidence against him. In July 2011, court-appointed amicus curiae Raju Ramachandran submitted his final report to the court. Contrary to the SIT’s opinion, he said Modi could be prosecuted based on available evidence. The Supreme Court referred the matter to the Magistrate’s Court. The SIT reviewed Ramachandran’s report and submitted its final report in March 2012 asking for closure of the case. Zakia Jafri filed a protest petition in response. In December 2013, the magistrate court dismissed the protest petition and accepted the SIT’s finding that there was no evidence against the chief minister. In 2022, the Supreme Court dismissed Zakia Jafri’s petition challenging the clean chit given to Modi by the Special Investigation Team during the riots, upholding previous judgments that no evidence was found against him.

Modi 2nd Time as Chief minister :

Following the violence, there were widespread calls from within and outside the state for Modi to resign as chief minister, including leaders of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the Telugu Desam Party & opposition parties stalled Parliament over the issue. Modi submitted his resignation at the April 2002 BJP National Executive Committee meeting in Goa, but it was not accepted. Despite opposition from the Election Commissioner, who said that a number of voters were still displaced, Modi managed to advance in the elections by December 2002. In the elections, the BJP won 127 seats in the 182-member assembly. Modi made significant use of anti-Muslim rhetoric during his campaign, and the BJP benefited from religious polarization among voters. Modi framed criticism of his government’s human rights abuses as an attack on Gujarati pride, a strategy that saw the BJP win two-thirds  of the seats in the state assembly. He won Maninagar constituency defeating Indian National Congress candidate Yatin Oza. On 22 December 2002, Bhandari swore in Modi for a second term.

During Modi’s second term, the government’s rhetoric shifted from Hindutva to the economic development of Gujarat. Modi has curtailed the influence of Sangh Parivar organizations such as the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) and the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP).

Modi Banned by USA ,UK & EU : 

Modi’s relationship with Muslims continued to attract criticism.  After the election 2004, Vajpayee blamed the violence in Gujarat for the BJP’s electoral defeat and said it was a mistake to keep Modi in office after the riots. Questions about Modi’s relationship with Muslims have also been raised by many Western nations. Modi was barred from entering the USA by the State Department under the recommendations of the Commission on International Religious Freedom, the only person to be denied a US visa under that law. The UK and the European Union refused to admit him because of what they saw as his role in the Gujarat riots. As Modi rose to prominence in India, the UK and EU lifted their bans in October 2012 and March 2013, and he was invited to Washington, D.C., after his election as prime minister in 2014.

Modi Later Career:

In the run-up to the 2007 Gujarat legislative elections and the 2009 Indian general elections, the BJP stepped up its rhetoric on terrorism. Modi criticized Prime Minister Manmohan Singh “for his reluctance to revive anti-terror legislation” such as the Prevention of Terrorism Act of 2002. After the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, the Gujarat government authorized the deployment of 30 high-speed boats for the Coast Guard. In July 2007, Modi completed 2,063 consecutive days as Chief Minister of Gujarat, making him the longest serving holder of the post. The BJP won 122 of the 182 seats in the state assembly in this year’s elections.

Despite the BJP’s shift away from explicit Hindutva, Modi’s election campaign in 2007 and 2012 contained elements of Hindu nationalism. Modi only attended Hindu religious ceremonies, and had prominent associations with Hindu religious leaders. During his 2012 campaign he twice refused to wear articles of clothing gifted by Muslim leaders. During the 2012 campaign, projected himself as protecting Gujarat against persecution by the rest of India. While campaigning for the 2012 Gujarat Legislative Assembly elections, Modi made extensive use of holograms and other technologies allowing him to reach a large number of people, something he would repeat in the 2014 general election. Modi won the constituency of Maninagar, defeating Shweta Bhatt of the INC. The BJP won 115 of the 182 seats, continuing its majority during his tenure. After his election as prime minister, Modi resigned as the chief minister and as an MLA from Maninagar. Anandiben Patel succeeded him as the chief minister.

Development projects

As Chief Minister, Modi favored privatization and small government. His programs during his alternate term have been credited with reducing corruption in the state. He established fiscal and technology premises in Gujarat and during the 2007 Vibrant Gujarat peak, real- estate investment deals worth ₹6.6 trillion were inked.

The governments of Patel and Modi assisted NGOs and communities in developing groundwater conservation programs. Water table depletion in 2004 had returned to normal groundwater levels by 2010. As a result, the state’s genetically modified cotton production surged to become the greatest in India. After a popular agitation drove the firm to leave West Bengal, Modi offered Tata Motors land in Gujarat to build a plant to manufacture the Nano. Several additional firms followed Tata to Gujarat.

The Modi administration completed the task of supplying power to every village in Gujarat. Modi drastically altered the state’s power distribution system by expanding the Jyotigram Yojana scheme, which segregated agricultural electricity from other rural electricity, greatly affecting farmers.

Gujarat’s economic development during Modi’s stint as chief minister The state’s GDP growth rate averaged 10%, which is comparable to other highly industrialized states and higher than the national average. Gujarat was placed #1 among Indian states for “economic freedom” in 2013, according to a survey that measured governance, growth, citizens’ rights, and labor and business regulation among the country’s 20 major states.

Over the decade from 2001 to 2011, Gujarat did not change its position relative to the rest of the country with respect to poverty and female literacy, remaining near the median of the 29 Indian states. It showed a marginal improvement in rates of infant mortality, and its position with respect to individual consumption declined. With respect to the quality of education in government schools, the state ranked below many Indian states.

2014 Indian general election

Modi was named the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate in September 2013, ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha election. Several BJP leaders expressed opposition to Modi’s candidature, including BJP founding member L. K. Advani, who noted concern about leaders who were “obsessed with their personal agendas”. Modi was a key figure in the BJP’s electoral campaign. Several BJP voters indicated that if Modi had not been the party’s prime-ministerial candidate, they would have voted for another party. The emphasis on Modi as a person was unusual for a BJP election campaign. The election was dubbed a referendum on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

During the campaign, Modi focused on the corruption scandals under the previous INC government, and played on his image as a politician who had created a high rate of GDP growth in Gujarat. Modi projected himself as a person who could bring about “development,” without focusing on any specific policies. His message found support among young Indians and among middle-class citizens. Modi got the majority in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

The BJP received 31% of the vote and more than quadrupled its Lok Sabha total to 282, making it the first party to gain a majority of seats on its own since 1984.

Modi ran for Lok Sabha in two different constituencies: Varanasi and Vadodara. In Varanasi, he defeated APP leader Arvind Kejriwal by 3.7 lakh votes, while in Vadodara, he defeated Madhusudan Mistry of the INC by 5.7 lakh votes. Modi was unanimously elected as the BJP’s leader and He was named Prime Minister by India’s president.

2019 Indian general election

On 13 October 2018, Modi was named the BJP candidate for prime minister for the 2019 general election. The chief campaigner for the party was BJP’s president Amit Shah.
