Narendra Modi Turns 75: Political Journey, Achievements, Uri Attack & Operation Sindoor

On 17th September 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi turns 75. For millions of Indians, this is not just the birthday of a leader but a celebration of a journey that reshaped India’s politics, economy, global stature and security outlook. From his humble beginnings in Gujarat to becoming a three time Prime Minister of the world’s largest democracy, Modi’s story is an inspiring blend of resilience, vision and determination.

Over the last decade, India has witnessed sweeping changes — from financial inclusion programs and digital revolutions to bold foreign policy moves and decisive national security responses like the Uri surgical strikes and Operation Sindoor in 2025. Modi’s leadership has been defined by a mix of people-centric governance, technological modernization and assertive diplomacy.

In this article, let’s walk through Narendra Modi’s political journey, his three terms as Prime Minister, India’s transformation under his leadership, and the landmark actions that shaped his tenure.

Early Life and Political Rise

Born on 17th September 1950 in Vadnagar, Gujarat, Narendra Modi’s childhood was far removed from the corridors of power. From helping his father at a tea stall to rising through the ranks of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), his journey reflects grit and dedication.

He entered mainstream politics through the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and soon became a key strategist. In 2001, he took over as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, where he focused on infrastructure, industry and governance reforms. His development model earned him both national attention and international recognition.

The 2014 Breakthrough: India Chooses Modi

The 2014 General Elections marked a turning point. Riding on promises of development, good governance and strong leadership, Narendra Modi led the BJP to a historic win with a full majority, something India had not seen in decades.

His first term was characterized by bold initiatives such as:

Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission) – a mass movement for cleanliness and sanitation.
Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana – bringing millions of unbanked citizens into the formal financial system.
Digital India – transforming governance and services through technology.
Make in India – boosting manufacturing and entrepreneurship.

Second Term: Bold Decisions and Global Leadership

The 2019 General Elections reaffirmed the public’s trust, giving Modi an even stronger mandate. This period was marked by decisive actions, including:

Abrogation of Article 370 – restructuring Jammu and Kashmir’s special status.
Strengthening India’s military response after the Uri attack in 2016, which killed 19 soldiers, followed by surgical strikes across the border.
Massive infrastructure push – highways, airports, metro projects and modernization of railways.
India’s global rise – active participation in international forums, elevating India’s diplomatic influence, and closer ties with major powers.

This phase also saw India’s economy becoming the fifth-largest in the world, reinforcing its growing global clout.

The Uri Attack and India’s Security Posture

One of the defining security moments during Modi’s leadership came in September 2016, when terrorists attacked an Indian Army camp in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir. The attack left 19 soldiers dead and shook the nation.

In response, India carried out surgical strikes across the border, sending a clear message that terrorism would not be tolerated. This marked a significant shift in India’s defense doctrine, from strategic restraint to assertive retaliation.

The Third Term: Operation Sindoor and India’s Assertiveness

Narendra Modi’s third term, beginning in 2024, has been equally impactful. One of the most significant moments was Operation Sindoor in May 2025.

Triggered by a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam (April 2025), the operation involved coordinated strikes and decisive military action across the Line of Control. Operation Sindoor showcased India’s strengthened defense capability and political will to safeguard national security. It also highlighted Modi’s uncompromising stance against terrorism and his ability to rally both the armed forces and the nation during crisis.

Economic and Social Transformation

Beyond security, Modi’s leadership has brought sweeping economic and social reforms:

Financial Inclusion: Jan Dhan accounts crossed 500 million, empowering rural and urban poor alike.
UPI Revolution: India became the global leader in digital payments.
Startup Ecosystem: India emerged as the third-largest startup hub in the world.
Vande Bharat Express: Modern trains redefining domestic travel.
Ram Mandir in Ayodhya: A historic and cultural milestone.
Chandrayaan-3: India’s successful moon mission, cementing its position in space exploration.

India on the Global Stage

Under Modi’s leadership, India has transformed into a more confident global power. The G20 Summit hosted in India showcased the country’s diplomatic strength and economic potential. From climate change discussions to defense partnerships, India has emerged as a bridge between the developed and developing world.

Celebrating Modi Ji at 75

As Narendra Modi turns 75, his political journey stands as a testament to how one individual’s vision and determination can reshape a nation. Loved by millions, criticized by opponents, yet undeniably influential — Modi has left an indelible mark on India’s history.

From Vadnagar’s railway platform to the world stage, his story is more than politics, it’s about belief, resilience and a relentless drive to see India rise.

Conclusion

At 75, Narendra Modi Ji continues to lead India with energy and determination. His three terms as Prime Minister have seen both triumphs and challenges, but what remains constant is his focus on development, nationalism and India’s global stature.

As the nation wishes him a Happy Birthday, it also reflects on how far India has come under his leadership — and how his legacy will shape the future.
