Modi’s leadership resonates across borders

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Modi hai to mumkin hai” (“With Modi, it’s possible”), and the third consecutive term of Prime Minister Modi seems to be proving this adage true, even reaching into North American geopolitics. What is it about Modi’s leadership that resonates across borders, and what might we expect from Trump’s return for Bharat and Hindu Americans in the US? The Republican party victory in the House and Senate, a trifecta, is sure to unify Congress enacting Trump’s agenda.

Modi’s personal, political, and persuasive strengths are grounded in a deep devotion to Dharma and a strong belief in Karma, which have guided Bharat’s path forward. I write this while visiting Bharat just after Trump’s re-election, and there’s palpable optimism about his next term. Since the ‘Howdy Modi‘ event during Trump’s first presidency and the ‘Namaste Trump‘ gathering hosted by Modi, the rapport between the two leaders has been notably warm. Trump made an unprecedented gesture by attending Modi’s rally in Houston, where Modi’s endorsement, “Ab ki baar Trump Sarkar”—resonated locally and globally.

In 2025, Bharat is set to host the QUAD leaders, which means Trump could visit within months of his return to office, marking an event of historical significance. Modi’s third consecutive term will be as remarkable as the previous two terms- hosting Obama in his first term and Trump and Biden in the second term. In fact, the G20 Summit during Modi’s second term was a remarkable success in showcasing Bharat’s heritage and culture to the world leaders

Many wonder whether Modi, an astute politician, quietly influenced Indian Americans, especially Hindu Americans, to vote for Trump. Reports suggest that a greater share of the Indian diaspora, who typically lean Democratic, supported Trump in 2024. Vice President Harris, on the other hand, lost favor with many Hindu Americans. Harris’s perceived detachment from her Hindu heritage and absence from the White House Diwali celebration alienated influential Hindu Americans, contributing to her humiliating defeat.

Modi’s diplomatic style is characterized by his unique ability to build rapport with leaders worldwide—even with rivals like the US and Russia. He is perhaps the only global leader with balanced, respectful relationships across all continents. His calls for peace over conflict, particularly regarding Russia-Ukraine and Arab-Israel issues, and his deep understanding of foreign policy have earned him a reputation as a fair and straightforward statesman.

Since becoming Prime Minister in 2014, Modi has witnessed US presidents shift from Obama to Trump to Biden and, once again, back to Trump. His rapport with each administration has only strengthened over time, aided by Bharat’s Foreign Minister, S Jaishankar, who has deftly managed the US-India partnership. Bharat’s economic growth, now the world’s fifth largest, is set to reach the third largest by the end of Modi’s third term. This trajectory reflects the Karma and Dharma driving Modi’s leadership.

One can even draw interesting parallels between Trump and Modi. Trump, a businessman more than a politician, pursues his “America First” doctrine, while Modi, with his business-savvy Gujarati roots, champions “Bharat First.” Both leaders will likely bargain hard for their nations’ interests but ultimately align on the strategic necessity of countering expansionist policies like those of China.

Modi’s diplomatic fortune extends to Canada, where Prime Minister Trudeau’s position has weakened since his diplomatic clash with Bharat over support for Khalistani separatists in Canada. Trudeau’s miscalculation of Modi’s resolve and the new Bharat’s stance on reciprocity has led many to predict his defeat in the next election. Should he manage a win, however, the strong Modi-Trump alliance will likely leave Trudeau terrified and wary of antagonizing Bharat further.

Looking ahead to 2025, a Modi-Trump partnership would likely elevate Bharat and the US on the global stage. The 2023 T-shirt gifted by Biden, proclaiming AI as the defining friendship between America and India, may prove even more prescient under the leadership of the next Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz. Both Rubio and Waltz are staunch supporters of US-India relations, with Rubio advocating for deeper defense cooperation and Waltz recognizing the US-India partnership as one of the most important relationships of the century.

It seems destiny, shaped by Divine blessings on Bharat through Modi’s steadfast faith, is at work. Trump’s return, coupled with allies like Rubio and Waltz, could steer the US-India alliance to new heights. Hindu Americans also should take pride in figures like Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswami, and the incoming Vice President’s spouse, who bring a supportive voice for Dharma and Karma within White House circles.

With Modi’s strong diplomatic ties with global leaders, Bharat’s vision to emerge as a “developed nation” by 2047 seems within reach. After all, “Modi hai to mumkin hai.”
