On July 25, 2025, Narendra Modi surpassed Indira Gandhi’s tenure as India’s prime minister. He became the second-longest-serving PM after Jawaharlal Nehru. This has opened the debate of Modi vs Indira, who did better leadership within their respective tenures. While Indira Gandhi served 4077 consecutive days from 1966 to 1977, Narendra Modi has surpassed it. Both the leaders have been influential in their own right, impacting the country’s politics, strategy, economy, foreign affairs and nationalism.
One is notoriously known for implementing emergency while another is wildly popular for his Hindu Rashtra ideology. While Indira’s era is coloured deep-pink socialist, Modi’s era is coloured saffron. Their leadership, however, has put India on the map, and it’s time to have a look at how they have impacted Indian politics.
