Modi’s SACRIFICE, SAGACITY!

The narrators recall that Prime Minister Narendra Modi spent meaningful time in Garudeshwar during the Emergency period. His primary responsibility then was to support the families of jailed karyakartas. PM Modi’s ideas and efforts proved highly effective during those challenging days. He preserved his turban as a lasting memento of his struggle and wisdom from that time and lots more...

How PM Modi ji lived as a sadhu during Emergency - Swami Govind Dev Giri Maharaj, Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust

One day I asked Modi ji, in private, what do you know about the mystery and aura of Garudeshwar? What he said, surprised me. He said, “You don’t know swami ji that I have spent 3-4 months at the Garudeshwar temple. I have lived as a sadhu and meditated there. That was a time of revelation for me. I too know something about Garudeshwar!” To this I asked him when he got time to visit and stay at the temple? He told me, “During Emergency. Not only was I hiding, but I also used my time fruitfully during those days of risk and uncertainty, to understand Garudeshwar and meditate.” I was really impressed by his this achievement. I know many people of the Dutt community who worship Garudeshwar, have very little idea about the Lord. Common devotees and followers of Maharashtra and Gujarat who worship Garudeshwar, and who should be knowing much about him, in fact know little. It was the prime minister of the country, who was teaching about the Lord to me, I myself having never visited Garudeshwar temple. What greater matter of pride can there be?

Narendra Modi took care of jailed karyakarta during Emergency days - Nirmal Motwani, Surat, Gujarat

One of Narendra Modi’s key responsibilities during the Emergency was looking after families of jailed karyakartas. On one occasion, he sent for me at the RSS office, where I found he was standing in wait for me dressed as a Sardarji. As we met, he requested me to take him to the house of a Sangh worker Shirumalbhai. Once we were there, we had our lunch at his house and Modi gave the wife of the imprisoned karyakarta Shirumalbhai `700 in cash to take care of the family’s needs so long as her husband was in jail. The wife requested Modi to deliver some home-cooked food to her husband in Junagadh jail. Modi immediately agreed — and despite the constant threat of arrest, he along with me went to jail all way to Junagarh from Ahmedabad on a state service bus to deliver food and came back same way to return the tiffin to the family!

Modi evaded arrest by turning into a Sardarji - Vijay Rajpal, Delhi

During the Emergency, Narendra Modi was never arrested — despite being under constant police watch. Why? Because of his clever disguises. One of the most notable was his Sardarji disguise. He once took shelter in my house in Ashok Vihar and learned how to wear a turban. We went to buy the turban from a shop at Chandni Chowk and he remained as a Sardarji for quite sometime, even travelling to Surat with me on train, without raising the slightest suspicion of the police. In fact, Modi ji was under surveillance for his anti-Emergency activities. Though he was staying underground, Gujarat police were on the lookout for him as he was charged with raising public awareness through his activities. Once he called me and told me about his predicament and the risks his stay in Gujarat entailed. He asked me if he could come over to Delhi and stay in my house for sometime to give shape to his ideas from there instead of Gujarat. I welcomed him with open arms and thus he reached Delhi. I had first met him at Sangh office in Ahmedabad in 1973. So, when he reached my place in Delhi, I came to know that a short clip was being played in cinemas in Gujarat showing Modi ji as a ‘wanted’ activist who police were searching. Modi ji felt it would be unsafe to stay any further in Gujarat as he would be caught. But since we feared in Delhi too he might just be recognised, we went for the Sardarji look and it worked. A friend of my uncle, who was a Sardarji, taught Narendra Modi ji to tie and wear the turban the right way. Modi ji kept the turban for long as a memento of his days of struggle and sagacity.

Narendra Modi guided students’ movement during Emergency - Prakash Mehta, NRI, Australia

The Navnirman Movement had started from our engineering college hostel. For some reason, police did not have permission to come to that particular hostel. So we started our underground activity against the Emergency from that hostel room. We even had set up a small press inside, where we printed pamphlets etc. During those days, a young Narendra Modi rallied students to stand up against the Emergency. He held secret meetings in hostels and encouraged them to spread the message through graffiti in public spaces. We planned to publish and circulate posters and pamphlets denouncing Emergency and demanding release of Jay Prakash Narayan. But we found it would take a lot of time and resources to do the same. When Narendra Modi heard this, he said, “You are engineering students. Can’t you come up with an idea like using stencils to spread our messages?” This was a very innovative idea indeed. He also told us that police changed duty during 7:30 and 8 am. So, we utilised this crucial window and took out our stencils framed in steel, with our slogans written on them, placed them on the public walls, poured colour on the stencils and the letters were imprinted on the walls. It took us hardly 2 minutes and cut our risk of getting caught by half. Modi ji’s ideas worked wonders during those days.
