"Modi 2.0: The Unconventional Trailblazer - Exploring the Modi Regime and its Global Impact"
Today, on the occasion of Narendra Modi's birthday, it's crucial to grasp the distinctive nature of the 'Modi government' or 'Modi regime.' Those keen on national and international politics can observe that Modi's popularity and acceptance among the masses surpasses that of his party.
This is Modi 2.0, the Modi who charted his own course, not entirely aligning with hardcore Hindutva ideologies to attain power in 2014, as aptly noted by Prashant Kishor. Prashant Kishor was once an ally of Modi and had designed a special election campaign called "CAG- Citizens For Accountable Governance"-for him prior to 2014. However, he now works for the opposition party.
In the past, the Congress lacked transparency, and that’s where Modi struck a chord. He swiftly aligned with global tech giants like Google, Tesla, and Facebook, realizing that RSS ideology alone wouldn’t resonate with the educated youth. His shrewdness in creating an reformer’s image post the divisive Gujarat riots is remarkable.
Modi's role in the global economy and business strategy is undeniable. In the realm of today's information distribution, these tech corporations lead. Even in communist states like China, major media corporations like South China Morning Post were acquired by Jack Ma.
Google is now the biggest distributor of news and old print news media like New Republic, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and the long-distressed Time magazine have been acquired by tech moguls.
Hence, in Modi's policies, the importance of foreign technology is highlighted. From then on, he has been learning, evolving, and advancing himself.
Critics often label him a corporate middleman, and while this profession may be looked down upon in socialist and communist ideologies, in the global economic and business political perspective, being a power-broker is a powerful role. Modi has become that international power-broker, whose influence has helped in sealing deals, like resently Adani Group signed a significant deal with the Israeli government for the usage of an Israeli port, marking a big diplomatic win for Modi's new India.
At the age of sixty, Modi’s flamboyant personality and his ability to adapt to various roles could be compared to ancient kings. One could even speculate that Shah Rukh Khan may have grappled with an inferiority complex due to Modi’s flamboyant persona.
In G20 Summit, 2023, the internet and public might have been curious about Modi’s overt flirtations, notably with Italian politician Giorgia Meloni, showcasing his vibrant personality and his comfort with public display of affection in the realm of politics.
What is Modi thinking now?
He understands how Artificial Intelligence will change the game in the coming days. I recently went through Indian AI websites for one of my clients' projects, and I was amazed at how meticulously they've prepared their datasets. Understanding the Indian market and using AI to create groundbreaking products or services isn't as difficult as it seems.
This is Modi 2.0 - a policy that distinguishes itself significantly from Atal Bihari Vajpayee's era, moving away from his party's hardline politics. Unapologetically stating - this is the Modi regime.
