Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared India’s “only real enemy” is its dependence on other countries, urging a push for self-reliance. Speaking in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, Modi emphasized Atmanirbharta as essential for national pride, global peace, and safeguarding the future of 1.4 billion citizens. His remarks come amid rising concerns over U.S. policies, a $100,000 H-1B visa fee hike effective September 21 and ongoing 50% tariffs on Indian imports. India, which holds 71% of H-1B visas, faces significant impact. Modi warned that foreign dependence risks national failure and self-respect. He concluded, “There is only one medicine for a hundred sorrows, and that is a self-reliant India.”
