As India celebrated the festival of lights, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation with a heartfelt letter that combined festive warmth with a strong message of justice, courage, and national pride.
In his special Diwali 2025 letter to citizens, the Prime Minister reflected on Operation Sindoor, calling it a shining example of India’s determination to stand against injustice and safeguard its people.
🪔 A Message of Faith, Strength, and Patriotism:
PM Modi began his message by wishing every Indian a joyous Diwali, reminding the nation of how the festival of lights symbolizes the victory of good over evil — an eternal lesson that continues to guide India’s journey.
“This is the second Deepavali after the grand construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya,” the Prime Minister wrote, linking the spirit of Lord Ram’s teachings with the courage and righteousness displayed by Indian forces in recent times.
He emphasized that Lord Shri Ram not only teaches the importance of righteousness (dharma) but also inspires the courage to fight against injustice — a value that India demonstrated during Operation Sindoor.
⚔️ Operation Sindoor: A Testament to India’s Resolve:
Referring to the events between May 7 and May 10, PM Modi praised Operation Sindoor as a decisive response to the Pahalgam terror attack, which had tested the country’s patience and unity.
He described the operation as a moment when “India rose with strength and clarity,” ensuring that every act of terror met with a fitting response.
According to the Prime Minister, Operation Sindoor wasn’t just a military success — it was a moral statement that India will not tolerate injustice or threats to its sovereignty.
The operation symbolized a united nation — where the government, armed forces, and citizens shared a single emotion: to protect the dignity and safety of Bharat.
💬 Upholding Dharma in Modern Times:
Drawing inspiration from the values of Ramayana, PM Modi explained that Diwali reminds us of both light and duty — light that removes darkness, and duty that guides us toward righteousness.
He noted that India’s journey today mirrors those very lessons, as the nation continues to overcome challenges with faith and determination.
“Operation Sindoor showed the world that modern India is not only spiritually awakened but also strategically prepared,” the letter stated.
Through this operation, India demonstrated that justice and compassion can coexist with strength and decisiveness.
🌅 From Ayodhya’s Light to the Nation’s Spirit:
This year’s Diwali carried a deeper emotional meaning for millions of Indians — being the second Diwali since the completion of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
PM Modi reminded citizens that Lord Ram’s return to Ayodhya marked the end of an era of darkness, symbolizing the triumph of truth and goodness.
Similarly, modern India, under the light of its values, continues to move forward — balancing spiritual heritage and national security.
“Just as Lord Ram stood for dharma, Operation Sindoor stands for India’s modern-day commitment to justice and peace,” the Prime Minister affirmed.
🇮🇳 A Call for Unity and Collective Progress:
In his closing message, PM Modi urged citizens to carry the flame of Diwali beyond celebrations — to light the path of service, unity, and compassion.
He encouraged people to take inspiration from Operation Sindoor’s spirit of discipline and courage, reminding everyone that India’s strength lies in its unity.
“As we light our diyas this Diwali, let us also light the diya of duty — towards our nation, our communities, and our families,” he wrote.
💫 Conclusion: A Diwali of Pride and Purpose:
PM Modi’s Diwali letter was not just festive greetings — it was a message filled with patriotism, reflection, and resolve.
By invoking Operation Sindoor, he reminded Indians that the essence of Diwali lies not only in joy and celebration but also in renewing our commitment to truth, justice, and the nation’s safety.
As diyas brighten homes across the country, the message from the Prime Minister echoes deeply —
India stands strong, united, and fearless — ready to protect its light against every shadow.
