The Modi government refers to the cabinet led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who became the 14th Prime Minister of India in May 2014. The government is headed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), a coalition of political parties.
Under Modi’s leadership, the government has focused on transformative initiatives aimed at economic growth, infrastructure development, and national security. Some of the landmark policies include the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), demonetisation of high-value currency notes in 2016, and the controversial revocation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, which ended the region’s special status. The Modi government has also emphasized initiatives such as ‘Make in India,’ ‘Digital India,’ ‘Skill India,’ and the ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’ (Clean India Mission).
While it has received praise for boosting economic growth and improving infrastructure, it has also faced significant criticism. Its handling of the anti-CAA protests, the 2020 farmers’ protests, and issues surrounding the delivery of data—such as the absence of a national census and the lack of transparency regarding COVID-19 death tolls—has sparked public debate. The government has also been criticized for its response to social issues, such as the Hathras rape case and the conflict in Manipur.
Despite these challenges, the Modi government, now in its third term, continues to maintain a dominant political presence, securing electoral victories at both state and national levels.

Proportionality can only be ascertained by the out come. If situation in J&K is better than it has ever been in the past the proportionality is obviously justified. The SC seems to have laid down the guidelines only. Possibly recognising “Past cannot be changed, it is about the future. If we don’t lay down the principles that uphold the democracy and national security of the country it will be a problem.”
No violence, no stone pelting, no statements that there will be rivers of bloods and nobody will support the Tiranga to instigate the crowds has been achieved. If there have been shortcomings in methods of placing the restrictions they can and will be corrected.
The demand for immediate removal of restrictions which were claimed to be unconstitutional have not been accepted.
However, Justice Gavai pointed out to Hegde that the very same order had also urged the government to keep national security in mind before restoring full-fledged connectivity to J&K.
So, not only honest citizens, even the terrorists and mass murderers now have the fundamental right to communicate amongst themselves and blow us up.
