Prime Minister Narendra Modi has officially joined Truth Social, the social media platform owned by former US President Donald Trump.
The Indian leader made his debut on the platform on Monday, sharing his excitement and gratitude towards Trump for promoting his recent podcast interview with American podcaster and scientist Lex Fridman.
In his first post on Truth Social, Modi expressed his enthusiasm about engaging with passionate voices on the platform and looked forward to meaningful discussions.
He also thanked his friend Donald Trump for uploading his full three-hour podcast interview with Fridman, which was released on Sunday.
Modi shared the link to the podcast in his second post, highlighting the wide range of topics discussed, including his personal journey, leadership, and global issues.
The podcast, which has gained international attention, was also acknowledged by Trump, indicating the growing digital interaction between the two leaders.
During the conversation, Modi delved into his early life, sharing insights about his upbringing and the experiences that shaped his leadership style.
He spoke about his childhood in Vadnagar, his time in the Himalayas, and the influence of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on his beliefs and leadership approach.
Reflecting on his two years spent in the Himalayas, Modi described how the solitude of the mountains and interactions with ascetics strengthened his inner resolve.
He recounted experiences of waking up before dawn, meditating, and engaging in acts of service, which helped him develop resilience and discipline.
Discussing his association with the RSS, Modi shared how patriotic songs and activities in his village drew him towards the organisation. He explained that these early influences played a significant role in shaping his worldview and dedication to public service.
Lex Fridman, known for his in-depth conversations with global figures, has previously hosted notable personalities such as Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sam Altman. His interview with Modi was described as one of the most powerful discussions he had ever conducted.
Ahead of the podcast's release, Fridman had praised Modi as one of the most fascinating individuals he had studied. In response, Modi expressed appreciation for the engaging discussion and invited people to tune in to hear more about his life and leadership journey.
Modi’s presence on Truth Social and his interaction with Fridman’s global audience mark another step in his digital outreach, further strengthening his international engagement.
