PM Modi News: PM Modi said, “India is full of confidence. When it comes to economic slowdown, India writes the story of development. When there is a lack of trust in the world, India is becoming a pillar of trust. When the world is divided into pieces, India works as a bridge.” Pointing to India’s GDP growth rate of more than eight percent in the second quarter, he said, “This is a symbol of our momentum.”
New Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the 23rd edition of Hindustan Times Leadership Summit on Saturday. During this, he sharply criticized the previous governance model and colonial mentality, which he said had hindered India’s progress for many years. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that today India is the fastest growing large economy in the world. Some people call India a global growth engine. Some call it a global powerhouse. Today many wonderful things are being said about India. But looking at the rapid growth of India today, have you ever read somewhere or heard someone calling it ‘Hindu Rate of Growth’ (Hindu Vikas Dara)? When India is the fastest growing economy in the world, does anyone use this term anymore? The term ‘Hindu Rate of Growth’ was used when India was struggling for a growth rate of 2–3 percent.
He said that this was a reflection of the mentality of slavery. An entire society, an entire tradition was made synonymous with non-productivity and poverty. That is, an attempt was made to prove that the reason for India’s slow growth rate is our Hindu civilization and culture. Look further, today the so-called intellectuals who keep looking for communalism in everything, did not see communalism in the Hindu rate of growth. This term was made a part of books and research papers during their era.
Prime Minister Modi said that this journey of today’s India is not just about development. This is also a journey of change in thinking, this is also a journey of psychological renaissance. You also know that no country can move forward without self-confidence. He said that unfortunately the long slavery had shaken this self-confidence of India, and the reason for this was the mentality of slavery. This mentality of slavery is a big obstacle in achieving the goal of developed India and hence, today’s India is working to get rid of the mentality of slavery.
