Narendra Modi is the incumbent Prime Minister of India. Currently, the Member of Parliament (MP) from Varanasi., he is the most prominent leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Considered a master strategist for his party, he has been the Chief Minister of Gujarat for four consecutive terms. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s charismatic personality and determined push for India’s economic development have made him immensely popular at home. Modi’s foreign policy initiatives are driven as much by his government’s domestic political strength as by India’s rising concern over rapid expansion of China’s economic clout and military might in Asia. Three years since then, though, a lot has happened. As the new National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government forms its cabinet, it is worth considering the implications of the electoral verdict on India’s security calculations. Importantly it can be expected that India’s strategic and security calculations will be driven by nationalist and more decisive political leadership revolving around enlightened self interest. What this means is that India centric concerns and imperatives on larger global or regional issues will be the hallmark of a new BJP-led NDA government. With his unusual courage to convert challenges into opportunities, Modi is regarded.
