Amit Shah Hails Modi Era as India’s Renaissance: His Name Will Be Written in Golden Letters
At the launch of “Indian Renaissance: The Modi Decade”, edited by Dr. Aishwarya Pandit, chairperson of the ITV Foundation and associate professor at Jindal Global Law School, Union Home Minister hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, calling his term a momentous and a turning point in India’s history post 1947. He emphasized that when India’s history would be written, PM Modi’s name would be written in ‘golden words’- even by his critics.
Reflecting on the 2014 electoral victory, the home minister highlighted how the BJP won from all corners of the history, from Ladakh, to Kanyakumari to Assam. He stated that while India gained independence from the British Raj in 1947, true freedom from colonial influence was realized only in 2014. Praising India’s inclusivity and acceptance of other cultures, languages and people, he said how communities like Parsis integrated seamlessly and contributed significantly to the nation.
Underscoring numerous developments in the last one decade under PM Modi’s era, Shah cited achievements in multiple sectors including in infrastructure, economy, defense and others. Talking about the Covid period, he laudes India’s exemplary handling of Covid pandemic, ensuring vaccination to 130 crores citizen and minimizing losses. Modi, he said, turned development into a mass movement, giving the country a clear direction.
Discussing Modi’s personal struggle and long journey, Shah recalled knowing him since the 1980s as an RSS worker who traveled by bike and bus, eating with the poor. He credited Modi for raising the issues of sanitation and credited him for bringing toilets, health insurance, and free ration to 60 crore people—something previous governments failed to do. He attributes this to Modi’s grassroot connections, unlike past leaders.
Shah also highlighted major milestones such as the abrogation of Article 370, the rise in tourism in Kashmir, and ISRO’s achievements. He asserted that Modi has ended dynastic politics, casteism, and polarization, leading India toward a brighter future.
