The Dozen Modi Years Made The World Read India Differently
He has stood the longest; he stands out; the record is outstanding. What remains is the mandate of the India century He has proved a crisis manager par excellence. Only his steely resolve, courage and meticulous action could have carried 1.4 billion Indians through the once-in-a-century calamity of the pandemic and made it an opportunity. He now steers India through the perilous upending of the geopolitical and geoeconomic order. Last week Prime Minister Narendra Modi became the longest continuously serving Prime Minister India has elected. The milestone is his, and it is Indias: no one has governed this democracy longer at a stretch, none through three consecutive wins amid politics this competitive. Beyond the record, what matters is what he did: every unforgiving minute filled for India with sixty seconds worth of distance run, each of those dozen years marked by 365 days of milestones, and the new, dynamic India the world now reads in the making. I spent my working life in the field, in capitals, in board and conference rooms, and at the United Nations, where the worlds opinion of nations is made. The change this past decade is the most pronounced I have seen: condescension has given way to competitive attention and the wish to learn, in awe at Indias shift from conscientious objector and system-taker to system-shaper, all multivector engagement and strategic assertiveness, wielding both the power of advocacy and the advocacy of power. The world reads the man accurately: not handed his authority, he reached the highest office of the worlds largest democracy from a childhood on a railway platform, without a family name; one who traversed India understanding its people, breaking the humble chapati with them, sharing joys and sorrows, building a political life from the ground up. To a world weary of inherited power and entitled succession, a leader authored rather than anointed carries particular credibility. He is the first Indian Prime Minister to wear the countrys civilisational self as his identity rather than apologise for it or play the impostor in foreign garb. The measures of global opinion agree: for years Modi has topped the Morning Consult ranking of democratic leaders, above two-thirds, far ahead of the West. Pew finds eight in ten Indians view him favourably, more satisfied with their countrys direction than most mature democracies. Governments concur: 19 foreign parliaments addressed, some 30 state honours, several their nations highest. To his people he speaks directly, baring his mind and heart in Mann Ki Baat each month; to other leaders, a charm holding Washington and Moscow, the Gulf and Europe, with remarkable alchemy. India now exports models rather than importing them. Its digital public infrastructure carries nearly half the worlds real-time payments and moves welfare to hundreds of millions of accounts. 250 million have risen from poverty in a decade on the official measure: Antyodaya, the states operating principle, not a slogan, leaving no one behind and reaching the furthest behind first, as the UNs Agenda 2030 urged. If any leader has truly governed by that maxim, it is PM Modi. In the pandemic it administered over 2 billion vaccine doses, fed 800 million free, supplied vaccines to nearly a 100 countries and medicines to 150. The UN named him a Champion of the Earth, the Gates Foundation its Global Goalkeeper of the Sustainable Development Goals, for measurable progress on poverty, hunger, health, gender equality, energy and climate; UNICEF and UN Women have lauded his championship of women and girls, from Beti Bachao Beti Padhao to the womens parliamentary quota. His targeted and transversal programmes have engineered a structural shift for women and girls, from home to college, kiosk to corporation, local government to Parliament. He has driven women-led development as a moral and social justice imperative, indispensable to mobilising half the nations capacity. No nation rises without its empowered women; India now acts on that truth at the scale of a continent. He has restored to Indians the pride of being Indian, within the country as much as in the 35 million diasporalargest in the world. The nation has moved as one: in the pandemics collective resolve, behind the armed forces after Operation Sindoor, and at the Maha Kumbh, where over 600 million pilgrims formed humanitys largest gathering. The symbols reach for what binds: a tribal woman in Rashtrapati Bhavan; the turban, cap or tribal headdress he dons region by region in respect and affection; village Indians made heroes in Mann Ki Baat or the Padma awards; 200 million homes under the Tricolour for Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav; Vande Mataram in its 150th year; Swachh Bharats 110 million toilets, a peoples movement; one India, diversity knitted together, every region respected. Modi is the first Prime Minister to articulate the ambition of India as a leading power and act on it: military and economic strength, nuclear and space capabilities, a defining role and normative weight in global systems, a critical mass of diplomatic, R&D and technological resources, built purposefully and successfully, while projecting its soft power as never before. On terrorism, the doctrine is zero tolerance, from Uri to Operation Sindoor, even as globally he remains a votary of peace and security through dialogue. Above all, he has proved a crisis manager par excellence. Only his steely resolve, courage and meticulous action could have carried 1.4 billion Indians through the once-in-a-century calamity of the pandemic and made it an opportunity; I shudder to think what would have happened had he not been at the helm. He now steers India through the perilous upending of the geopolitical and geoeconomic order, two major wars and the narcissistic stances of leading powers, holding it to calm and stability, safeguarding its energy security, the fastest-growing major economy. The miracle is that he dares to transform the most populous, youth-rich, complex, federal and self-contesting democracy, rife with veto wielders, vested interests and myopic, anti-national opposition leaders who plot anarchy, invite Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference, and block vital reform. Globally, the change is in posture as much as in standing. India convenes where it once attended, and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, the world as one family, has become a record of delivery rather than a slogan. India is at once microcosm and macrocosm of the world: what it solves for itself it proves for everyone, and offers as global public goods. Its digital public infrastructure is shared in the Global South and North; its G20 presidency made the African Union a permanent member; it leads the International Solar Alliance; its Panchamrit climate pledges are clothed with Mission LiFE in the soul of Indian heritage. It hosted the developing worlds first global AI summit; in the fourth industrial revolution, as on the Moon, it no longer plays catch-up but leads, deploying for all. What distinguishes the period most is that India has named its ambition aloud: this, he tells India and the world, is to be Indias century. The economy has climbed from the worlds tenth largest to its fourth; the destination is declared: Viksit Bharat, developed by 2047, the centenary of independence, modernity and heritage one inheritance, not rival claims. The restoration of civilisational sites, the recovery of its antiquities, the reclamation of the name Bharat: these are not nostalgia. They assert that a civilisation over 5,000 years old need not borrow its self-respect and greatness from anyone. The world I spent my career observing measured India against its own unfulfilled promise. It has begun, this decade, to measure itself against destination India instead. The strongest case for this leadership is ahead: India is the vastest laboratory of human development, endeavour and perfectibility on earth, its work immense and unfinished, which is why a country this vast needs such leadership. He has stood the longest; he stands out; the record is outstanding. What remains is the mandate of the Indian century. (The author is the Former Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations.

World Music Day:One Day Kashmiri Music Will Match Punjabi Industry says Singer Waqar Khan
Srinagar, June 21: On the occasion of World Music Day, popular Kashmiri singer Waqar Khan expressed the growing recognition of Kashmiri music and language on national platforms, expressing optimism about the future of the valleys music industry. Speaking about the evolving music landscape, Waqar said that Kashmiri language and songs have increasingly found space in Bollywood in recent years, contributing to efforts aimed at preserving and promoting the regions rich cultural heritage. He pointed to the success of Kashmiri singer Faheem Abdullah in Bollywood as a positive sign for the industry. Work is being done to keep the Kashmiri language alive and restore its prominence. Artists like Faheem Abdullah are making a mark in Bollywood, which is encouraging for all of us. We are hopeful that one day the Kashmiri music industry will flourish in the same way as the Punjabi music industry, he told Rising Kashmir. Recalling his musical journey, Waqar said his passion for singing began during his school days when teachers recognized his talent. What started as appreciation from my teachers gradually became a hobby, then a passion, and eventually a profession, he said. Addressing comparisons with legendary Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Waqar humbly rejected the title often given to him by admirers. I can never compare myself to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. He was a legend and no one can match his stature. Perhaps people call me Junior NFAK because I have recomposed some of his songs. Like millions of others, I have followed and admired him throughout my life, he said. He added that Nusrats timeless music continues to inspire generations across the world. His work was exceptional, which is why people still love and listen to him. I am focused on improving myself every day and growing as an artist, he said. Waqar also spoke about the difficult decision of leaving his government job to pursue a full-time career in music. It was a tough decision, but I believed in my passion and wanted to dedicate myself completely to music, he said. Discussing the challenges faced by independent artists, Waqar noted that social media platforms have transformed the music industry and opened new opportunities for emerging singers. In the past, artists had to travel to Mumbai and meet producers and directors to get a chance. Today, platforms like YouTube and other social media channels allow artists to showcase their work to audiences across the globe. However, one must also understand how to effectively promote content online, he said. While acknowledging the growing popularity of Kashmiri music, Waqar said the valley still lacks large-scale musical events. Very few concerts are organised here, while private events are more common. I hope we will see more concerts and music festivals in the coming years, said Waqar who hails from Kupwara's Karnah tehsil. The singer also stressed the need to identify and promote talented writers and literary figures in Kashmir, saying the region possesses immense creative potential that deserves wider recognition. Apart from music, Waqar has also entered politics and is associated with the National Conference. Explaining his decision, he said his primary objective is to serve people and address local issues. I joined politics because I wanted to help the people of my area. I believe the party stands with the people of Kashmir and works for their welfare, he said. Commenting on Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Waqar said the Chief Minister is making sincere efforts to address public concerns. He is working hard to resolve the issues faced by the people to the best of his ability, he said. Sharing his political aspirations, Waqar said he hopes to act as a bridge between the people and the administration. My goal is always to help people and connect them with those who can solve their problems, he said. Describing himself in simple terms, Waqar concluded: I am a common man and a singer.

Srinagar-Nalanda Dialogue:LG calls for strengthening Indias soft power, cultural diplomacy
J&Ks heritage guiding light for Viksit Bharat; let us lead with confidence, compassion Srinagar, Jun 20: Our goal is to revive India's great inheritances of knowledge and spirituality, strengthen civilisational traditions, and shape a future-oriented education that connects youth to both the past and modern technology, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on Saturday. He said that good governance promotes culturaldialogue and together they shapethe moral, cultural, and human character of asociety, and formulateinclusive policies. Together, the scholars of Jammu Kashmir and Nalanda shaped one of the world's oldest living civilisations. This heritage is our guiding light. The SrinagarNalanda Dialogue is our opportunity to carry that light forward with wisdom, courage, and a new vision for Viksit Bharat, the LG said while delivering the keynote address at the Srinagar-Nalanda Dialogue, organised by the Ministry of Tourism, Department of Culture, J&K, Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts (IGNCA), National School of Drama, and Nava Nalanda Mahavihara University. The Lieutenant Governor called for strengthening India's soft power andpromotion ofcultural diplomacy, stating that centuries ago, India's knowledge unified the globe, and today India can be the bridge the world needs. The world is watching. Let us lead with confidence and compassion, he said. Sinha said that youth have inherited a rich legacy of languages, beliefs, artistic traditions, philosophical schools, and varied ways of life, and that this diversity is our greatest strength. From Bihar to Jammu Kashmir, from the temples of Tamil Nadu to the monasteries of Ladakh, from the ghats of Kashi to the valleys of Kashmir, each region preserves its distinct cultural identity and rhythm of life. Our shared aim should be to weave these diversities into a harmonious unity that enriches the nation's collective consciousness, he said. He observed that Indian civilisation has always been defined by its centres of knowledge, with Nalanda, Takshashila, and Vikramashila serving as hubs of global intellectual exchange, attracting travellers from China, Korea, Java, Persia, and West Asia. Nalanda is a living intellectual cosmos of its time. Likewise, Jammu Kashmir was the unique Sharda Peeth of learning, drawing people from afar for instruction across disciplines from mathematics to music, he said. The LG noted that the host city, Srinagar, was established by Emperor Ashoka, and the dialogue reminds us that the moment has come to renew this tradition as a modern, relevant intellectual project. Ancient towns are living learning centres and cities such as Nalanda, Srinagar, Jammu, Purmandal, Varanasi, Hampi, Sanchi, Madurai, Puri, and Thanjavur carry centuries of experience and knowledge. We must strengthen the role of these towns through infrastructure development, heritage conservation, and platforms like the SrinagarNalanda Dialogue for cultural exchange, the Lieutenant Governor added. The event was attended by Padma Shri Prof Shafi Shauq, Ministry of Tourism Director General Suman Billa, Nava Nalanda Mahavihara University Vice Chancellor Prof. Siddharth Singh, National School of Drama Director Chittaranjan Tripathy, Festival Chairperson D Aaliya, Festival Director Ganga Kumar, Vice Chancellors of Central University of Kashmir and University of Kashmir, SSP Srinagar Dr. G.V.
