==Biography==

Modi was born in Vadnagar, Gujarat to a family of grocers. His family belonged to the Modh-Ghanchi-Teli ~~oilpresing~~ community, classified under the Indian government as an Other Backward Class. As a child, he would help his father sell tea by the railway station, opening up a tea stall with his brother by a bus terminal.

As a child, he would help his father sell tea by the railway station, opening up a tea stall with his brother by a bus terminal.

When he was 8, he discovered the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and attended ~~shakshas~~ (training sessions) where he met Lakshmanrao Inamdar, whom he would consider a mentor. Modi was described as a keen debater in school, having an interest in theatre. He would often portray larger-than-life characters, which would further shape his image politically. He completed an M.A. degree in political science from Gujarat University in Ahmadabad.

He completed an M.A. degree in political science from Gujarat University in Ahmadabad.

Around 1968, he reached the Belur Math, headquarters of the Ramakrishna Mission in Belur, West Bengal, but was turned away, deciding to travel to northeast India. joined the pro-Hindu Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) organization in the early 1970s and set up a unit of the RSS’s students’ wing, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, in his area. Modi rose steadily in the RSS hierarchy, and his association with the organization significantly benefited his subsequent political career.

Line 22:

In 1990 Modi was one of the BJP members who participated in a coalition government in the state, and he helped the BJP achieve success in the 1995 state legislative assembly elections that in March allowed the party to form the first-ever BJP-controlled government in India. The BJP’s control of the state government was relatively short-lived, however, ending in September 1996.

In 1995 Modi was made the secretary of the BJP’s national organization in New Delhi, and three years later he was appointed its general secretary. He remained in that office for another three years, but in October 2001 he replaced the incumbent Gujarat chief minister, fellow BJP member Keshubhai Patel, after Patel had been held responsible for the state government’s poor response in the aftermath of the massive Bhuj earthquake in Gujarat earlier that year that killed more than 20,000 people. Modi entered his first-ever electoral contest in a February 2002 by-election that won him a seat in the Gujarat state assembly.

Modi entered his first-ever electoral contest in a February 2002 by-election that won him a seat in the Gujarat state assembly.

Modi’s political career thereafter remained a mixture of deep controversy and self-promoted achievements. His role as chief minister during communal riots that engulfed Gujarat in 2002 was particularly questioned. He was accused of condoning the violence or, at least, of doing little to stop the killing of more than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, that ensued after dozens of Hindu passengers died when their train was set on fire in the city of Godhra.

Line 36:

Soon after he took office, his government embarked on several reforms, including campaigns to improve India’s transportation infrastructure and to liberalize rules on direct foreign investment in the country. Modi scored two significant diplomatic achievements early in his term.

In mid-September he hosted a visit by Chinese President [[Xi Jinping]], the first time a Chinese leader had been to India in eight years. At the end of that month, having been granted a U.S. visa, Modi made a highly successful visit to New York City, which included a meeting with U.S. Pres. Barack Obama.

As prime minister, Modi oversaw a promotion of Hindu culture and the implementation of economic reforms. The government undertook measures that would broadly appeal to Hindus, such as its attempt to ban the sale of cows for slaughter. The economic reforms were sweeping, introducing structural changes—and temporary disruptions—that could be felt nationwide.

Line 44:

This disappointment registered with voters during the elections in five states in late 2018. The BJP lost in all five states, including the BJP strongholds of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh. The rival Indian National Congress (Congress Party) won more state assembly seats than the BJP in all five elections. Many observers believed that this portended bad news for Modi and the BJP in the national elections set for the spring of 2019, but others believed that Modi’s charisma would excite the voters. Moreover, a security crisis in Jammu and Kashmir in February 2019, which escalated tensions with Pakistan to the highest point in decades, boosted Modi’s image just months before the election. With the BJP dominating the airwaves during the campaign—in contrast to the lacklustre campaign of Rahul Gandhi and Congress—the BJP was returned to power, and Modi became India’s first prime minister outside of the Congress Party to be reelected after a full term.

In spring of 2021, India experienced a deadly surge on COVID-19. Because of his poor handling of the pandemic, the country faced an oxygen shortage, vaccine shortfall, and misinformation, causing India to become the worst-hit country. He notably called the virus a hoax, and later suggested yoga to try and combat the virus.

===Trivia===

*Many of his supporters have been spreading [[Islamophobia]], including using Islamophobic taunts to demonstrate support to Israel.
