Narendra Modi

Narendra Modi, born in a small town in Gujarat, rose through the ranks of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist paramilitary organization, before embarking on his political career. His rapid ascent to power culminated in his appointment as Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001, a position he held for over a decade.

Modi's political journey has been marked by strong economic policies, ambitious infrastructure projects, and a controversial stance on secularism, particularly concerning the Muslim minority in India. His supporters laud him as a transformative leader, while critics point to his government's divisive rhetoric and human rights record.

With a penchant for grand speeches and seemingly endless public appearances, Modi has cultivated an image as a man of the people, despite allegations of authoritarian tendencies. He is known for his signature kurtas and his meticulous attention to detail, right down to his carefully manicured beard.

As for his Jewish bona fides, Modi's connection to Judaism is, shall we say, non-existent. He's a devout Hindu, and while he’s certainly a figure of global importance, he's never been spotted davening at a shul or quoting Talmud. His only link to the tribe would be a diplomatic hand-shake with Benjamin Netanyahu, which, while cordial, hardly qualifies him for a Jew Score.
