Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared India is experiencing a “psychological renaissance,” shedding a colonial mindset that once labeled its slow growth the “Hindu rate of growth.” He asserted the nation is now a global economic driver, lauded for its rapid development amidst a worldwide slowdown. This transformation, he emphasized, signifies a profound shift in national confidence and global standing. Prime Minister Narendra Modi NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi Saturday said India was witnessing a “psychological renaissance” as it shook off the slavery mindset, which was reflected in its slow pace of development being termed as Hindu rate of growth, and asserted that the country was now the growth-driver of the global economy.The PM said India was being showered with plaudits like “global powerhouse” or “global growth engine” when it was the fastest growing major economy. But when it gr-ew at a rate between 2% and 3%, the term “Hindu rate of growth” was coined to describe its slow pace, he said.“Do you think the act of linking a country’s economic growth to the faith of its people and their identity was without any reason? No, it was reflective of the mindset of slavery,” he said at the HT Leadership Summit, adding no one was using the term when India clocked a high rate of gro-wth. GDP grew at a robust 8.2% in the second quarter.The so-called intellectuals saw no communalism in a phrase like “Hindu rate of growth” that made Hindu civilisation and culture synonymous with poverty and unproductivity, he said.The British mocked Indian tradition to strip people of self-confidence, Modi said, adding that his govt was working to restore the country’s prominence in a host of sectors. Modi said India was now in a different league at a time when the world was talking of a slowdown. India was scripting the chapter of growth and has become a pillar of trust amid “crisis of trust” in the world, he added. “India’s journey today is not merely about development. It is also about a change of mindset. It is also a journey of psychological renaissance,” the PM said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’Maligning Hindu Way Of Life’: PM Modi Calls Out Colonial Mindset Over ‘Hindu Rate Of Growth’ LabelUP CM Yogi Slams Parties ‘Insulting Babasaheb’s Legacy’, Announces Security For Ambedkar Statues’Engaging Atmosphere Reigned’: Shashi Tharoor After State Dinner With Russian President Putin’Sab Jagah Pohchenge’: Yogi Adityanath On What’s Next After Ram Temple, ‘Kashi-Mathura’ Slogan’Black Day’: Owaisi Targets Modi Govt, Questions Acquittals In Babri Masjid Demolition CasePutin Dinner Snub Triggers War of Word: Priyanka Chaturvedi Slams ‘Petty’ Politics, BJP Blasts RahulHow Russia May Open Central Asia For India As West Pushes Harder: Kugelman Explains The Power ShiftAviation Meltdown Escalates As IndiGo Cancels 400 Flights And Government Enforces Fare ControlsUS Singer Calls PM Modi World’s Top Leader, Warns Washington To Recalibrate Its India Strategy FastEx-Pentagon Official Says Asim Munir Must Be Arrested As He Slams US Policy, Calls For India Apology123PhotostoriesJhol Momo to Paalak Methi Mattar ka Saag: 15 dishes Vladimir Putin was served on his India tripSara Khan marries Krish Pathak in both Hindu and Muslim rituals, drops new photos; says ‘Qubool Hai se Saat Phere tak’Stressed and stiff? 4 yoga moves for instant relief10 reminders every working mom who feels guilty needs to hear todayBigg Boss 19: From making shocking revelations about a luxurious lifestyle to Ekta Kapoor offering her a project; finalist Tanya Mittal’s journey10 tips to keep your baby warm and cozy this winter9 one-pot South Indian vegetarian rice dishes to try’3BHK’ to ‘Aan Paavam Pollathathu’:5 Tamil films of 2025 that won hearts with natural acting and nuanced storiesThe 5 stages of awakening: Find out where you stand todayShah Rukh Khan-Kajol to Varun Dhawan-Alia Bhatt: Bollywood’s most loved onscreen couples who never dated in real life123Hot PicksIndigo Flight DelayPutin India VisitWorld NewsGold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingCaeleb Dressel Net WorthDelhi Airport AdvisoryIndigo Flight CancellationCandace OwensAryna Sabalenka Net WorthHow to get danny Phantom in FortniteTravis KelceJohn Cena FinalJEE Advanced Exam DateDDA RecruitmentExam Schedule
