Three reforms that can change India
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi completes 4,399 days in office, India stands at a defining moment in its modern history.
On India’s 79th Independence Day, August 15, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered his 12th consecutive address from the Red Fort in New Delhi. In keeping with his tradition of distinctive attire for this occasion, he chose an all-saffron ensemble.
This included an orange safa (traditional turban), a matching orange Nehru jacket-style waistcoat, and a white kurta. Completing the outfit was a tricolour stole featuring the national flag’s saffron, white, and green stripes

His attire reflected the theme’s ‘Naya Bharat’ (New India) aspirations, highlighting the nation’s forward momentum. The ensemble was symbolic of energy, courage, and a commitment to the nation’s progress.
A moment should be taken to talk about PM Modi’s choice of headgear on Independence Day. This year, he donned an all-orange turban, symbolizing energy and liveliness.
On previous Independence Days, he has worn various traditional turbans, such as a red Jodhpuri bandhej turban in 2014 and a saffron pheta in 2023, each reflecting India’s rich cultural heritage.
