Narendra Modi stepped into the Prime Minister’s Office in May 2014 with a promise of “Achhe Din” (better days). Eleven years later, India looks undeniably different. From the launch of flagship schemes like Swachh Bharat and Digital India to a globally assertive foreign policy, Modi's government has changed the narrative in many areas. But has that change been for the better—or simply louder?

📈 The Achievements

Modi's supporters often cite a slew of achievements:

  • Infrastructure boom: From roads to railways to rapid electrification.

  • Social schemes: Ujjwala Yojana for LPG, Jan Dhan for banking the unbanked, and Ayushman Bharat for healthcare.

  • Digital transformation: Aadhaar-linked services, UPI, and Digital India initiatives have changed how India functions.

  • Global clout: India’s international standing has arguably never been stronger, from G20 leadership to strategic ties with the US and others.

🔍 The Criticisms

However, critics see another side:

  • Democratic erosion: Dissent, press freedom, and institutional independence have come under scrutiny.

  • Polarization: Religious and caste divides have reportedly widened, with concerns over minority rights.

  • Economic stress: While India is growing, job creation, agrarian distress, and income inequality persist.

  • Handling of dissent: From student protests to journalists being silenced, many worry about shrinking democratic space.

🔁 A Mixed Legacy?

 

It's clear Modi has reshaped Indian politics and governance, for better or worse. The “Modi era” isn’t just a political phase—it’s become a cultural and ideological transformation. Whether you cheer or fear it, ignoring it is not an option.
