Modi’s oath-taking a proud moment for India

Saswat Panigrahi

It’s a day of reckoning in India’s history. Narendra Modi is taking oath as the 15th Prime Minister of India in the forecourt of the majestic Rashtrapati Bhawan on the evening of May 26.
The day epitomises the rise of a common man. A boy who once sold tea in Gujarat’s Vadnagar is now the Prime Minister of the billion plus nation. It is indeed a proud moment for Indian democracy.
Narendra Modi is the man who overcame every obstacle by sheer hard work. As an RSS pracharak, he preached the essence of cultural nationalism. As a BJP general secretary, he was a quintessential organiser. As a ‘people’s Chief Minister’ he has revolutionised Gujarat. Modi is the leader the nation has been awaiting since long.
Gone is the elitist Nehruvian era which dominated the Indian political scenario for decades together. Also obliterated is the Dynasty and the party they led. In a sense, it is India’s genuine tryst with the nation.
