India witnessing a ‘psychological renaissance ‘:PM MODIAt the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2025

India witnessing a ‘psychological renaissance ‘:PM MODI At the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2025, PM Modi said that India is undergoing a “psychological renaissance” — a revival not just in economy or infrastructure, but in mindset and self-confidence. According to Modi, linking a country’s economic performance to its cultural or civilizational identity was a reflection of a “slave-mentality.” With India now rapidly growing, that mindset is being shed. PM Modi argued this shift in mentality is as significant as economic reforms: that the country’s path is now not just about development but transformation of the collective mindset.
