Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the 134th [1] episode of his monthly radio program, "Mann Ki Baat," on Sunday.
The broadcast occurs as India navigates complex geopolitical tensions and economic volatility. By using this platform to discuss international conflicts and energy markets, the Prime Minister signals the government's focus on how global instability directly impacts domestic stability.
The program is scheduled to air at 11 a.m. [1]. It will be broadcast across All India Radio (Akashvani), DD News, and various digital channels. The episode will also be streamed on the Republic World YouTube channel [1, 2].
Modi is expected to address several high-stakes international issues. Key topics include the U.S.-Iran war and the implications of the BRICS summit [1, 2]. These discussions come at a time when diplomatic alignments are shifting across the Global South.
Additionally, the Prime Minister will discuss the Strait of Hormuz and the resulting trends in oil prices [1, 2]. Because India relies heavily on imported petroleum, disruptions in this maritime chokepoint can lead to significant inflationary pressure on the Indian economy.
The "Mann Ki Baat" series has become a primary tool for the Prime Minister to communicate directly with citizens. By blending domestic social initiatives with global geopolitical analysis, the program serves as a bridge between international diplomacy and public awareness [1].
This Sunday's episode will follow the established format of the monthly broadcast, reaching millions of listeners across the country via traditional radio and modern streaming platforms [1, 2].
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the 134th episode of his monthly radio program.”
The inclusion of the US-Iran conflict and the Strait of Hormuz in a public-facing broadcast suggests that the Indian government is preparing the public for potential economic shocks. By linking the BRICS summit and oil prices, Modi is framing India's role within a multi-polar world where energy security is tied to strategic diplomatic alliances.
