Full Name: Narendra Damodardas Modi; Profession: Indian politician, statesman, and long-serving prime minister of India, known for his tenure as chief minister of Gujarat and his leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) nationally. Nationality: Indian. Born: 17 September 1950. Birthplace: Vadnagar, Mehsana district, then Bombay State, now in Gujarat, India, where he grew up in a lower‑middle‑class grocer family and, in his youth, helped his father sell tea at the local railway station. Generation: Baby Boomer generation, part of the post–World War II cohort born between 1946 and 1964. Chinese Zodiac: Metal Tiger (Tiger year running from 17 February 1950 to 5 February 1951), associated with bold, competitive, charismatic leadership and a strong drive to overcome challenges. Zodiac Sign: Virgo (Western sun sign governing births from about 23 August to 22 September), often linked to disciplined, methodical, service-oriented personalities. Age in 2026: 76 years old in 2026, marking more than a decade in office as prime minister after first taking the post in May 2014. Marital Status: Legally married in an arranged marriage in 1968 to Jashodaben Narendrabhai Modi, a former schoolteacher, but long estranged and living separately since shortly after the marriage, with the relationship only publicly acknowledged in official documents in 2014. Children: No biological or adopted children; numerous biographical accounts and public commentary note that he has no wife or children in the conventional family sense and that he lives a personally austere, work‑focused life. Description: Narendra Modi is the first and, as of 2026, only Indian prime minister to have been born after the country’s independence in 1947, rising from modest beginnings in Vadnagar through activism in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and decades in party organization to become chief minister of Gujarat in 2001 and then prime minister in 2014. His tenure has been defined by large‑scale economic and infrastructural initiatives, such as nationwide campaigns for financial inclusion, digitalization, and sanitation, as well as controversial policies like demonetization and sweeping tax reforms, all framed within a narrative of strong, centralized leadership and national resurgence. Internationally, he is one of the most recognized contemporary political leaders, maintaining a high global profile through extensive travel, strategic partnerships, diaspora outreach, and a cultivated image as a tech‑savvy, social‑media‑active head of government who speaks directly to younger generations and positions India as an emerging great power. Domestically, his supporters view him as a decisive reformer who champions Hindu cultural identity, economic development, and anti‑corruption ideals. At the same time, critics raise concerns about majoritarian politics, civil liberties, and institutional balance under his rule, making him a profoundly influential and polarizing figure in 21st‑century Indian and global politics. Cause of Death: Not applicable—Narendra Modi is alive as of 2026 and continues to serve in high office.
