Modi Ji s Life after 19 and middle age




 In a unique traditional manner specific to Narendra Modi's caste, his family arranged a betrothal with Jashodaben Chimanlal Modi, leading to their marriage when she was 17 and he was 18. However, shortly after their wedding, he made the difficult decision to leave his wife and home. Although they never officially divorced, Modi did not publicly acknowledge their marriage for many decades. It wasn't until April 2014, just before the national election where he gained power, that Modi publicly confirmed his marriage to Jashodaben. Interestingly, their marriage was sexless, and Modi kept it a secret because his involvement with the puritanical RSS organization would have been jeopardized.

His spiritual Journey  

Following his departure, Modi embarked on a two-year journey across northern and north-eastern India. During this time, he visited several Hindu ashrams established by Swami Vivekananda, including the Belur Math near Kolkata, the Advaita Ashrama in Almora, and the Ramakrishna Mission in Rajkot. However, due to his lack of formal education, his stays at these ashrams were brief. Swami Vivekananda had a significant impact on Modi's life, shaping his beliefs and ideologies.


In the mid-1968, Modi's quest led him to Belur Math, but unfortunately, he was turned away. Undeterred, he continued his journey, visiting Calcutta, West Bengal, and Assam, making stops in Siliguri and Guwahati. He then made his way to the Ramakrishna Ashram in Almora, where he faced rejection once again. In 1968 to 1969, he returned to Gujarat via Delhi and Rajasthan, briefly visiting his hometown of Vadnagar before settling in Ahmedabad. There, he resided with his uncle and worked in his uncle's canteen at the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation.

Reunion with RSS and Political journey begins 

While in Ahmedabad, Modi reconnected with Inamdar, who was stationed at the Hedgewar Bhavan, the headquarters of RSS in the city. It was during this time that Modi's political journey began to take shape. In 1971, he participated in a Jana Sangh Satyagraha in Delhi, led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee, with the aim of enlisting to fight in the Bangladesh Liberation War. The central government, led by Indira Gandhi, prohibited open support for the Mukti Bahini, resulting in Modi's brief detainment in Tihar Jail.

Life as a RSS pracharak 

After the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, Modi left his job at his uncle's canteen and devoted himself full-time to the RSS as a pracharak (campaigner). Inamdar, impressed by Modi's dedication, took him under his wing as a mentor. According to Modi, his involvement in a non-violent protest against the Indian government in New Delhi prior to the war and subsequent arrest played a significant role in Inamdar's decision to guide him. Modi claims to have been part of a Satyagraha, a form of non-violent resistance, that escalated into a political battle.

Masters in political science (REDUNDANT) for one who ruled the Indian  political scenario for over 2 decades 

In 1978, Modi obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the School of Open Learning at the University of Delhi. However, he graduated with a third-class distinction. In 1983, he pursued a Master of Arts degree in political science from Gujarat University, where he excelled and graduated with first-class honors. Notably, he completed this degree through external distance learning. It's worth mentioning that there has been some controversy surrounding Modi's educational qualifications, adding an intriguing aspect to his academic background.
