History of Lion MODI
Early life
The Lion Modi was born on 17 September 1950 to a family of grocers in Vadnagar in Mehsana District of what was then Bombay state(present-day Gujarat), India.He was the third of six children born to Damodardas Mulchand Modi and his wife, Heeraben.While a teenager, Modi ran a tea stall with his brother around a bus terminus. He completed his schooling in Vadnagar, where a teacher described him as being an average student but a keen debater.
He began work in the staff canteen of Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation, where he stayed till he became a full–time pracharak(propagandist) of the RSS. After Modi had received some RSS training in Nagpur, which was a prerequisite for taking up an official position in the Sangh Parivar, he was given charge of Sangh's student wing, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), in Gujarat. Modi organised agitations and covert distribution of Sangh's pamphlets during the Emergency. During his years in the RSS, Modi came in touch with Vasant Gajendragadkar and Nathalal Jaghda, leaders of the Jan Sangh, who later founded the BJP's Gujarat state unit.Modi remained a pracharak in the RSS while he completed his Master's degree in political science from Gujarat University
