Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a Vijayadashami address focusing on cultural and spiritual themes rather than financial or economic matters. The speech emphasized the ideals of Lord Ram's governance model (Ram Rajya) as a benchmark for non-discriminatory justice and equal opportunities where power serves public welfare. Modi highlighted India's cultural preservation efforts, noting that over 650 ancient idols have been repatriated in the past twelve years, and mentioned UNESCO's recognition of Indian cultural sites including Diwali's inclusion in the Intangible Cultural Heritage list last year.
The address called for national unity against forces that attack India's honor, divide society, or harbor cultural hatred, characterizing them as enemies of the nation. Modi reiterated the vision of "From Ram to Nation" and "From Divinity to National Duty" expressed during the Ayodhya Temple Pran Pratishtha ceremony, and emphasized goals of Developed India and Self-Reliant India through public participation and utilization of domestic resources.
