Naren­dra Mo­di was sworn in as Prime Min­is­ter of In­dia on May 26. This Chief Min­is­ter of the state of Gu­jarat in In­dia, through his dy­namism, was able to lead his par­ty, the BJP, to a his­toric win in the world's largest democ­ra­cy.For the first time in more than 20 years, a sin­gle po­lit­i­cal par­ty in In­dia was able to win a com­fort­able ma­jor­i­ty of 284 votes in a par­lia­ment com­pris­ing 543 mem­bers.

Pre­vi­ous­ly, the Con­gress par­ty with the Nehru fam­i­ly in to­tal con­trol was on­ly able to lead In­dia through a coali­tion with oth­er po­lit­i­cal forces. They in­evitably had to make com­pro­mis­es in the ad­min­is­tra­tion which has led to its dec­i­ma­tion at the polls.Naren­dra Mo­di was a mem­ber of an In­di­an del­e­ga­tion of Hin­dus who at­tend­ed the World Hin­du Con­fer­ence 2000 at the Cas­ca­dia Ho­tel, Trinidad. This event was host­ed by the Sanatan Dhar­ma Ma­ha Sab­ha.

Ac­cord­ing to a re­port in the Trinidad Guardian of Au­gust 21, 2000:

"Over 1,000 guests at­tend­ed the event at the Cas­ca­dia Ho­tel on Thurs­day night. The con­fer­ence was a sig­nif­i­cant mile­stone in the his­to­ry of T&T; it will serve as a pre­lude to the World Sum­mit of Spir­i­tu­al and Re­li­gious Lead­ers which takes place at the Unit­ed Na­tions from Au­gust 28 to 31. The World Hin­du Con­fer­ence 2000 will ben­e­fit the sum­mit and in­flu­ence thought at the UN over the next few weeks.
