"The Ram Mandir shall be built at the site of Ram Janmabhoomi only, the place where Ram was born. No power in the world can stop the Ram temple from being built,"

[Narendra Modi, audio extract from 'Lok Adalat Ma Ayodhya']

During the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, @narendramodi delivered many powerful speeches. One, titled 'Lok Adalat Ma Ayodhya,' was especially impactful. It resonated so well with the public that the speech was recorded and thousands of cassette copies were sold for people to listen to it again and again.

As the nation celebrates #नए_भारत_की_नई_अयोध्या, we explore the decades-long journey of Narendra Modi in the centuries-long struggle for the Ram Mandir.. As a swayamsevak in RSS, @narendramodi played a crucial role in the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, focused on reclaiming Lord Rama's birthplace in Ayodhya. His involvement spans nearly six decades, dating back to the 1970s.

Many Yatras were conducted throughout India for awakening and revivalism....

As the historic judgment on Article 370 shapes the path forward for the @narendramodi government's #NayaJammuKashmir, let's delve into the archives and look back at the time when the seeds of this decision were planted in the mind of a young Narendra Modi.

The removal of Article 370, while rooted in a nationalist framework, unfolds across multiple layers and is more intricate than it may initially seem. Narendra Modi, a leader known for making policy decisions based on practical experiences, applied a similar approach to the Kashmir issue. He realized early on that achieving true integration of J&K with the rest of the nation required addressing and eliminating the discrimination perpetuated by Article 370. Narendra Modi understood that this discrimination had far-reaching implications in legislative, societal, cultural, and daily aspects of the lives of the people in J&K.

Land integration alone was insufficient; the integration of Kashmir's people into India was imperative.
Early Years as a Crucible for Modi's Kashmir Understanding

@narendramodi possessed a comprehensive understanding of Kashmir's issues, backed by both book knowledge and firsthand on-ground experiences.

For instance, in a 1984-85 speech at the Sangh Shiksha Varg in Pune, when he was an RSS worker, Narendra Modi highlighted the discrimination embedded in the land laws of the region, specifically pointing to Articles 370 and 35A.

Later, as a BJP worker, he came to know of the challenges in the region through direct interactions with locals while traversing the state. These engagements occurred during a period of heightened terrorism in the late 1980s and early 1990s in the region.

In 2013, Modi was invited to inaugurate a super-speciality hospital in Pune dedicated to the late Deenanath Mangeshkar.

It was in 2013 when on meeting Modi, the Queen of Melody said - 'I pray to God that we see Narendra Bhai as PM'. 'Modi@20: Dreams Meet Delivery', a recently released book, includes a Foreword by the late Lata Mangeshkar narrating her interactions with Modi.

The 92-year-old artist describes how she saw Narendra 'bhai' not as a conventional politician, but as a leader with intent & action.

On this day in 1893, #SwamiVivekananda delivered the famous Chicago speech. Presenting some archives culled from the pages of PM @narendramodi's history

Here Modi discusses how Vivekananda explained Advaita to the Western world.

[Audio excerpt, Sangh Shiksha Varg in Pune, 1985] #SwamiVivekananda had a profound influence on young Modi's mind, inspiring him to dedicate his life to service.

A journey of inner discovery began at the Ramakrishna Mission, where Modi lived with sadhus and saints. During his stay, he got to spend time in Vivekananda's chamber.
