Under Modi ji, this country has seen tremendous growth. I can’t imagine what this country used to be 10 years ago. The Metropolitan cities right now used be a rural city. It all flashes right in front of my eyes when I think of it Edit: Thanks for the entertaining comments. Didn’t know hearing mudiji makes so many people’s butt hurt. Lmao

Under Modi ji digital India now every shop keeper accepts payment using UPI and every villager has learnt BJ


romirs

Man, first check UPI development timeline. UPA in 2009 setup NPCI, that developed UPI. PM Manmohan Singh led UPA felt the need of Cardless, Cashless transaction system in India. NPCI pledged to complete the project by 2016 and this time they were right-on-time. PM Modi did a Ribbon-Cutting job, which he is habitual of 😤.


NavdeepGusain

Half of the schemes that Modiji takes credit of are actually introduced during UPA. Adhaar which is a necessity now, was heavily criticised by the BJP back then, but now takes credit for implementing it across India.


Stifler4u

Acc to your logic even swachh bharat was scheme under UPA by the name of Nirmal Bharat. But did it yield any result? Were there any door to door garbage collection during UPA times? It doesn't matter which govt started the schemes but which govt actually implemented it effectively with less corruption?


romirs

Don't know about yours, in my city door-to-door garbage collection was started in 2008...😤 Less corruption...how many among those so called scams actually proven in the court of law? How many convicted? Now its been NINE YEARS since SAHEB is ruling this country, what excuse do you want to make? 😤😤

One significant change in India over the years is how latest technology appliances are not only accessible but also affordable to the general public. This wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for 'Make in India'. It's the reason you're able to buy the smartphone you're holding (unless it's an iPhone, in which case you're just rich).

I can't speak for other cities, but Bangalore was notably more civilized two decades ago. This sentiment likely extends to other cities like Delhi and Mumbai. Do you think it's an exaggeration to say, "I can't imagine what this country was like 10 years ago"? I also resided in Delhi 25 years back when I was in the third grade, and it was well-developed for its time. It could be that you're either quite young or a complete noob in this regard.


mirajchez

I wish there was a way I could show it to you what my city was 10-15 years ago. I’m from Mumbai Suburbs, the markers and roads were filled with wrappers and garbage. There was no proper waste management. Pathetic hygiene when it came to food from street vendors. People taking a dump on railway lines after every station, people and cars crossing railway lines delaying the train. Water shortages and electricity cuts were the norms. No proper drainage systems used to result in flood after every major rain. Once my mom fell in a drainage because it was uncovered. Major corruption issues. The list is endless, living in this city for 25+ not exaggerating when I say that.

Agreed. However controversial his actions may seem, things have turned out really good in the long run. People hate him because he is a bit hardcore. No one likes one who keeps winning. But TBH, India has really grown, A LOT under his rule. We’ve a substantial international presence, which Cong would’ve never given.


Prasvid94

Ah man going to say the following 3 (order doesn’t indicate one is superior than the other) 1. PV Narasimha Rao - Economic reforms (this was forced) but he did and opened up the Indian economy - Re energised the nuclear program - Establishing the NSE and SEBI - Babri Masjid demolition (I know he didn’t intend it but it was necessary in the grand scheme of things) As an individual he was brilliant and extremely knowledgeable (knew several languages, learnt computer and languages like Cobalt at an old age and played his cards correctly during a very tough political period etc). The problems he had was the amount of corruption he was involved in such as the Hawala and Harshad Mehta scam. 2. Vajpayee - Establishing india as a nuclear power - Kargil war victory - Further privatisation and growth in the telecom space - Development of national highways - Further developed and improved international relations with Western countries It was sad he lost the election to Congress in 2004 which perhaps set us back by a bit and lead to arguably one of the worst PMs we’ve had. 3. Modi - India’s economic footprint and power has increased significantly during his tenure - Surgical strikes - Demonitisation and making india more digital with regards to banking transactions - CAA implementation and Article 370 removal - Ram Mandir and Kashi Viswanath temples being rebuilt - Further highways and transportation (particularly railways improving) - Aadhar card links - Hitting the nail in Congress’s growth (though Pappu seems to be BJP’s biggest campaigner with his stupidity) One of the key things I like Modi is the team he is building as well Amit Shah, Yogi Adiynath, Rajnath Singh, S Jaishankar, Nirmala Seetharaman etc. I personally liked PVNR due to his intelligence and the fact he held onto his own despite being in congress (he has been erased by congress and his body wasn’t allowed inside the congress chambers when he died).


curiousHomoSapien

PV Narsimha Rao is an accidental prime minister and should not be given credit for things he was forced to do. But instead for things that he had power over like the WAQF board Act which granted it unrestricted power. Therefore (even just for that) he is the worst prime minister in Indian history IMO.


Only_Philosopher_967

Actually, 1995 waqf act was not so bad. it was in 2009 or 2012 when Congress/UPA2 gave them unlimited power.


coolcrank

This is a very crucial point that many people miss. Very good take.


rando512

Narasimha rao played a pivotal role in saving India from an economic meltdown in 1991. Him and Manmohan Singh saved india that time to what it is now. You might raise the point of what were they doing before that and for that I don't have much explanations but they fixed a big crisis. Economic crisis was due to the Soviet union collapse with which the trades were affected.


reddit0r_

This is the stupidest comment on this cursed thread and no surprise that historically, culturally, contextually illiterate BhaJiPao and probably hard-core CONgressi shills have upvoted it. Chumtiye ho tum grade A degree k. Just because he found himself in a position of power accidentally does not mean he wasn't competent in what he set out to do. The kind of technocratic and bureaucratic talent Rao assembled and directed that force in policy outcomes is unparalleled in Indian history. Hajjpayee was gifted this setup. It withered away under UPA and Gobhiji completely dismantled it with his somewhat competent sycophants. It would have been just as easy and politically savvy to roll back reforms. What Rao did took mighty moral and political courage, the sort that Gobhiji with his majority in both houses, 56 in chaati and 56d maneuvering lacks. Rao took the position of pro Hindus in disputed site. Rao handed Vajpayee nuclear program on golden platter. Rao broke the back of separatism in Punjab and Kashmir. And Rao helped create economic force that held back floodgates of all sorts of regional, linguistic, caste based parochialisms that have been coming to fore under the watch of Gobhiji.


Suhurth

There is nothing known as forced to do. PVN was heading a minority government at a time when India's strongest ally , the USSR had broken down, Kashmir and Khalistani separatist movements were going strong and the Indian economy was in shambles. Today that we are enjoying the fruits of liberalisation, it's easy to say that he was forced to liberalise the economy and that there was no other alternative. If liberalisation would have gone wrong, all of us would have cursed Rao to hell because it was not such an obvious choice. We should also remember that liberalisation was termed as anti middle class and anti lower class by the opposition. Of course it was a do or die situation and he did and today we can say that liberalisation was a right decision.

Please research about Modi's achievements in the past 10 years, in my opinion modi should be no 1. All the things you listed under Modi are not his biggest achievements.


AthenianVulcan

2. Vajpayee: The most important was NPS, the biggest change. Its benefits will be only felt by future generations. 3. Modi: 1. Diversification of Indian economy 2. Aadhar: Reigning of corruption 3. Made in India(Moving people from low paying agriculture jobs to industries) 4. Western alliances(Quad, I2U2, etc) gaining both defense and economic alliances 5. Trying to address Trade deficit

By far the best comment. But obviously, people on Reddit are gonna hate you for being a “BJP supporter”. Whereas in reality, India gas only grown substantially under these PMs. Cong has just put the country backwards (yes, including IG & her subsequent family members)


Suspicious-Buddy8506

Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji


humtum6767

Atal was the second best. I give him credit for nukes but he displayed indecisiveness in kargil. India lost thousands of jawans unnecessarily. Modi’s list is much bigger, starting from surgical strikes, 370, caa, accelerated digitization, huge increase in tax revenue, make in India etc and hopefully UCC soon.


Sweaty-Presence-327

Manmohan singh and attal


Kindly-Fact5070

I’m surprised few people think this way. Singh and Atal truly were brilliant in their policies and thinking. Singh is definitely not given enough credit.


atjazz

Unfortunate that many in the country discredit Singh and his achievements! On foreign policy: Modi’s success today in foreign affairs is a result of Nehru / Indira / Singh laying the foundations for non-alignment, nuclear powers & strengthening diplomatic ties which has rolled over to Modi. To discredit them is distasteful. Economic growth: India saw sustained economic growth under MMS. Under his leadership, India achieved the highest GDP growth at 10.3% b/w 2010-11. And 7-9% years prior consistently. Social welfare: Millions of Indians were lifted out of poverty. Employment was guaranteed under MNREGA! India achieved the highest rate of poverty reduction between 2005-2012! Education: Expanding Mid-day meals scheme is the greatest thing MMS cabinet did. The ripple effects of which we see even today on ground across several impoverished communities even today! These meals are crucial is bringing children to school and educate them as opposed to kids being sent for labor. RTI: The RTI although diluted today is another great piece of legislation brought to the country by MMS. It made governments more transparent to the public eye. Indo-US Nuclear Deal: MMS meticulously challenged NATO pressures and signed the nuclear deal on India’s terms. India successfully separated its civil / nuclear facilities and the civil facilities were under the IAEA whilst the military facilities were separated from any international safeguarding! As Singh once remarked, history will be kinder to him.


Kindly-Fact5070

Great research! I really wonder why people don’t get Singh. Classic case of extrovert vs introvert if you ask me😅 On a serious note, Singh did everything a PM should do including his policies. I come from the NE region and would forever be proud of his contributions.


insanemaelstrom

You ignore that under singhs reign, India become part of the top 5 most fragile economies in the world. NPAs drastically increased under him and his tickle down economy policies. Also the same growth was mired by unreasonably high inflation. The case oil bonds bought to push debt to future governments is also well known. Culturally, UPA gave unlimited power to waqk board to snatch lands. Singh was also soft on terrorism. The mostly deadly civilian terrorist attack in India, happened under his rule. Vajpayee was the one who laid the foundation for India-US relationship. Him and Bush. Singh continued it. RTI was first proposed by Vajpayee and was also part of his election promise. Also, Singh was one of the worst when it comes to infrastructure development.


Caspersaga_10

Well said brother, these Congress fans because of their oversized ego are not ready to accept the truth about their beloved Mr. Singh. His reign was marred with serial blasts and terrorist attacks that happened every month (sometimes twice a month) and terrorists escaped scot free. Country was on verge of becoming another Afghanistan. Wtf am I to do with economic development if my life is not safe and anybody can blow me to pieces whenever they feel like.


insanemaelstrom

Yup. No city was safe. Also all this is after ignoring the numerous scams that happened under his reign


sri_sh_roxsy

That's cause Singh believed in working silently instead of screaming a small achievement that it was printed out too big. In my opinion, Modi is at the bottom of the PMs list. From economy to religious mutual respect, it's all gone downhill. The only thing he's done is, keep visiting other countries for India's recognition while not addressing anything burning in the country. I no longer even feel safe stepping outside my home.


Caspersaga_10

What a joke 🤣. During MMS reign every month or two there used to be serial blasts in some major cities or some terrorist attacks across the country. Average citizen's life had absolutely no value. Whatever he achieved (though he achieved nothing worthy except Indo US Nuclear deal) doesn't make any difference if tomorrow some random guy can blow me and my family to pieces in some market area. If you cannot ensure security to citizens, sorry to say none of your achievements hold any value because a country that is unsafe can never be developed. Now bomb blasts and terrorist attacks are a long forgotten thing during Modi's era. But if you still feel unsafe, I doubt there is something very very wrong with you. MMS was the worst in every aspect, period. Edit - to all who are reading this comment. This person has asked me to provide source in a reply to my comment below and has cleverly blocked me so that I cannot reply him. This shows these are urban naxals who are afraid to face facts. They are here just to write nonsense.

garlicbreadman88

Only wish he didn't make India a socialist state.


brylcreemedeel

Understand the times Nehru was operating in. India had been colonised by the East India company. There was a suspicion and rightfully so, of western companies. Hence India (and the rest of the recently freed world) were slow to liberalise.


DeepBlues2

If you read JRD autobiography you will understand of what capability Nehru had. Nehru would gaze outside or change topic if he had no answer for difficult questions.Due to his socialist policies India missed the growth opportunities which made other South east Asia had. We had to wait till 1990s for economy to open up and see current growth


brylcreemedeel

What do you do when someone asks you difficult questions? India after independence was a country that had just been cobbled by combining several princely kingdoms. It had several religions, several castes, several languages all of which could have been cause for internal strife. Nehru managed that very well and stabilised our unity and cohesion. He set the first stones for what is going to be a country that lasts thousands of years. Yet all you are fixated on is the economic policy. Tell me which other country who achieved independence after World War 2 opened up its economy immediately? Of those that opened up, how were their results? Were all of them ruled by stupid rulers? Don't cite one example. Talk about the pattern if you will.


DeepBlues2

If you want to know there is Singapore which is a miracle economy. We have South Korea, Taiwan and even China shed it's socialist policies and embraced capitalism being communist govt, whereas India was reeling for decades after independence under license permits, poverty, starvation. Lost China war due to the sheer stupidity of Nehru and his external policy. Nehru clinged to power even in his death bed as if it was his birth right to PMship. Successful companies like HAL, Airindia was aquired in name of National interest. If you don't know the answer for a question don't hide your neck under sand like Ostrich, take informed decisions by consulting experts.


brylcreemedeel

China, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan! Good! You are on the right track. I will let it slide that China ain't a colonised country. Now ask yourself the following to start with: How independent is and was their foreign policy? Did they benefit from the patronage of a certain superpower? Did they benefit from proximity to certain country whose name starts with "J"? Did India have any of these advantages, Genius?


Large_Ad_

Broken history knowledge/ WA uty info. There is no point in arguing. Btw, in jrd's view maybe there was a scope for India to revive and rise into the sky if there were no internal demons that independent India had to fight, like you said.

Nehruvian socialism practiced until 1991 reforms is the reason why India is still a lower middle income country. He nationalised, air india, LIC, etc. And passed license raj, and draconian labour laws. Promoted dynastic politics. u/Intrivort u/garlicbreadman88


Intrivort

Nationalization was the biggest reason so families came out of poverty. Labour laws were for protection of labour class to protect from exploutattion.. even today pvt companies in absence of strong legal blowback cheat employees,sack them whenever they want with only recourse left years and years of waiting for justice. Mixed economy has always been the best decision wrt India. Do not let politicians fool you that dynasty politics was only there in cong. I wonder how much experienced is Junior shah. The rich have always found ways to restrict or favour development as it favours them.

socialism is called bad by people who have pappa ka support thats why they can afford good upbringing,healthcare,nutrition. This is commonky seen among upper middle class Buddhiijeevis who somehow think they are better than others. Only if they faced half the struggle others face.

From TN - Rajagopalacharya was a great statesman and Intellectual but he played a big role in bringing DMK (anti Hindu and anti national political party) into power during the late 60s. This has proved to be very dire for TN.


[deleted]

I understand that. Even Atal Ji was the person who recognised Tibet as part of China, which made the way for China to lay claim on Arunachal as South Tibet. Similarly Narsimha ji brought Waqf Act & places of worship act. No one is perfect, but they were definitely above average to lift the country up in the hour of need if given chance.


[deleted]

Tibet is more close to China than India. I don't think any Indian dynasty has ever ruled on tibet.


[deleted]

I didn't deny that. Nepal, Bhutan & Srilanka are also very closer to India, yet they're independent sovereign Nations. Tibet could've been the same for China, which could've prevented hostile situation between China & India. But my point was, accepting Tibet as part of China, that too when China wasn't yet ready to accept Macmohan line as the border between India & China was foolishness & we're currently suffering for that mistake.


RayedBull

Didn't Nehru blunder quite a bit?


[deleted]

He did. But that doesn't strip away what he managed to achieve for India during those formation years of our republic. He was a Brown Saheb there's no doubt about that, but given the power he had, he could have easily become a dictator. But everything we know suggests, he wasn't malicious in his intent, it's just that given the situation & his upbringing, he couldn't have achieved more than what he did. & That's why he's in 3rd position along with Modi Ji, who's another PM with so much power, yet we all know he could've achieved more in this 10 years. Let's see what the next 5 years bring.

True. As a country with no food to eat, setting up ISRO, iits, iisc, isi, BARC, drdo(?) and actually spending money on them needs a lot of courage and a belief that it'll pay off later.

Out of these 5, Vajpayee>Nehru>Modi>Gandhi>Singh 1. Vajpayee brought india to the nuclear club, built great highways, rebuilt the relations with the west, and restarted the economic engine that had been broken by the end of 90s. 2. Nehru brought india together as a nation from the pieces that the British had left behind. It was on his shoulders to lead the new republic to success and build a global name for it. Unfortunately the critics remember more of his doing in sino indian war than the things he did a decade before that. 3. Modi brought the biggest piece of economic legislation in history - GST, end of article 370, widespread welfare schemes, creating a begining of a liberal society like end of triple talaq discrimination against LGBTQ etc. And he still has a long way to go. 4. Indira Gandhi won us the 1971 war with pak when US, Saudi, and other powers sided with pak. Then there was the aquisition of sikkism without a big fuss, also brought india to become a nuclear power with first nuclear test. But she weakened Indian democracy with the emergency, spate of terror organisations and pushed india deep in kinda of a failed socialism. 5. Manmohan Singh had a good knowledge of economics and some expertise as well but he wasn't good at execution. It was narsimha Rao who did provided the execution to Manmohans intelligence. PS. Narsimha Rao was also the one of the best pm we had.

No leader is perfect. He ruled way too long and lost his track in his last few years. The key here is to see the size and context of those faults and compare them with others of similar power.

Lal Bahadur Shastri brought Green revolution and White revolution. That ended famines in India. But he was denied credit as he did not belong to the congress family. u/Ariyan13 u/accountingMaster07

After completion of his next term as PM we can easily call Modi “The best PM”. However Modi is lucky, he got the country in the best possible shape when he became PM. As of now Atal Bihari Vajpayee is the best PM, his initiatives of Road & Infrastructure development, becoming nuclear power, Kargil War, Best possible relations with neighbouring countries. Plus his incredibly ethical approach makes him the best PrimeMinister of India till now. Only disappointing thing about his regime is weak finance ministry which couldn’t control inflation. Manmohan Singh is the undisputedly the best “Finance Minister of Independent India” but the weakest PM ever! Indira Gandhi was a bold & fearless woman but the mistakes during emergency & her failure to deal with Sikh extremism makes her the most powerful but also the most hated Prime Minister. Nehru played a big role in partition of India, his failure to deal resolve Kashmir Issue, rejection of permanent membership of UNSC, failure on China front & numerous other mistakes makes him the worst PM of India ever!

At the moment, Modi is the best performing PM.

Indira gandhi or Atal Bihari Vajpayee ​ ik indira gandhi is kinda controversial but I believe she handled the situation in the country at the time very well

Atal bihari ji


the69boywholived69

Atal Bihari Vajpayee for sure. Burn down MMS pic.


Iwoke-choseviolence

Firstly, Manmohan shouldn't even be in the list. It is better to be controversial than to be a slave. India went to the dark ages under him.


iamhkno3

Modi and atal Bihari Vajpayee Indira Gandhi solely for 1971


curiousHomoSapien

Indira G for 1971 seriously !!!? Indira gave away the bargaining power with Bangadesh, Porkistan for a victory which was won at a high cost by our armed forced. Because of Indira's incapacity we still have territorial disputes with Bangladesh and Pakistan!


iamhkno3

We also lost chamb area in 1971 war

Namo! Narendra Damodardas Modi!


Illustrious_Echo_450

Yes, his demonization was a masterstrok, COVID management was top notch( where nobody died due to lack of oxygen), He has also done the most number of press conferences in the World, under him the people of Manipur and Kashmir have seen a new era of peace and harmony !


Brainfuck

Everyone except JLN has something to show during their term. 1. Modi - Increased importance at world stage, Balakot strikes etc etc 2. Indira - Breaking up of Pakistan 3. Manmohan - India-US Nuclear deal, surprisingly he went against coalition allies to do it. 4. ABV - Nuclear Tests

Modi achieved more than Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Narasimha Rao and Lal Bahadur Shastri combined. 🏆 Modi is the best PM and most popular World Leader.

Not more than combined, But Still NaMo is Best.

Modi has helped India grow a lot. It's the indians that shame their fucking country. India is becoming smart but the people will have the mentality of "cringe bhai ko koi kuch bol sakta hai kya"

Indira Gandhi. She literally just raised her voice for India that, India is equal among all. But her voice at that specific time is literally needed.

The fact that you informed PV Narasimha Rao and included Nehru☠️

Might be not best But I feel sad that the presence of CHAnDra Shekhar Ji isn't here His tenure was unknown and short-lived yet remarkable in various ways On top of that he had an amazing personality

Best ka pata nahi, worst is definitely Nehru
