The Social Responsibility of
Shri Narendra Modi

Vadnagar village, Shri Narendra Modi aged 12 years studying
in class 8, he wrote and acted in a soliloquy named, “The
Yellow Flower,” with the theme of untouchability, at the school.
The story is about the only child of a poor mother who falls
severely ill. The mother runs helter-skelter for his treatment,
but nobody is ready to treat an untouchable child. Someone
advises her to get some yellow flowers offered to God in the
temple so that she can save her child’s life. The mother runs
towards the temple but is not allowed to enter. Finally, when
she reaches home, broken, insulted and condemned, she finds
that her child is no more.

As a student of class 8, Shri Narendra Modi conveyed the
message—Everybody is equal and should have equal right on
God’s blessings.

Dholka, 1984. A lecture by RSS campaigner Shri Narendra
Modi at a Jain Upashray near the Kuberji Temple at Kharakua
on the occasion of Makarsankranti celebrations organised by the
RSS : The words flowed from his heart. “There is a social science
behind every Indian festival. This festival of kite-flying binds
society in one thread. It urges us to create an environment of
friendship, belonging and cooperation to each other in society.
Makarsankranti brings pleasure, zeal and velocity to society and
initiates the slow but firm process of removing the perverted
mentality and maintaining social unity, social harmony and
social vigilance. It creates emotions of social development and
progress.”
