PM Modi’s views for India to be in 2025:
PM Modi addressed that the three major problems that have covered all the nations have actually ‘fractured’ the world. By ‘fracture’, he meant global situation is under ‘frightening’ state. It actually starts at the individual level like a fracture in human relationships, all arisen from a human mind. He further extended the ‘fracture’ at the national level where there is a lack of understanding among communities. There are disparities and inequalities w.r.t. income and opportunities. Everyone is trying to outdo and overpower the other. He continued that the third level of ‘fracture’ is at the international level where there is a divide between requirements of today and need for future.
