PM Modi: On Saturday, Prime Minister Modi attended a summit, where he talked about the mentality of slavery. Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to the people to completely rid the country of slavery-like thinking in the next 10 years and targeted the “so-called intellectuals” who are trying to defame the entire civilization by terming years of slow economic growth as Hindu growth rate.
What was the meaning of Hindu growth rate?
Regarding “Hindu growth rate”, the PM reminded the audience that this term was used at a time when India was struggling even to reach a growth rate of two to three percent. Modi said that the country’s economic performance was linked to the faith of its people and the entire society had been made synonymous with poverty. The Prime Minister said, “The message being given was that India’s slow growth was somehow the result of Hindu civilization and those who now make every issue communal, had no objection to this word then. This word became a part of books and research papers.”
Today when India’s growth is fast, no one calls it Hindu rate of growth. It was a reflection of the slavery mentality that India’s weak economic growth was once linked to our faith, yet the so-called intellectuals did not see communalism in it.#HTLS2025 pic.twitter.com/f30Ds2ox3Q

‘Slavery mentality will have to be given up in 10 years’
PM said, Macaulay’s policy, which sowed the seeds of mental slavery in India, will complete 200 years in 2035. This means there are 10 years left. Therefore, in these 10 years, we all have to come together to free our country from the mentality of slavery.” PM Modi said, “This colonial thinking has become a major obstacle in achieving the goals of a developed India. That is why today’s India is working to free itself from this thinking.” Modi said that at a time when the world is full of uncertainties, India is being seen in a different league. He said that the changes taking place in India are not just about possibilities, but are a story of changing thinking and direction.
‘India is becoming the growth driver of the global economy’
If the GDP growth rate exceeds 8 percent next year, the PM said that this is a symbol of our speed. Modi said, “This is not just a number but a strong macroeconomic signal. It is a message that India is becoming a growth driver of the global economy.” He said that the global growth is about 3 percent while the G7 economies are growing at an average of about 1.5 percent. At such a time, India is a model of high growth and low inflation.
