For 30 years, Qamar Mohsin Shaikh has sent a rakhi to PM Narendra Modi every Raksha Bandhan
Qamar hails from Karachi, Pakistan. After marrying Mohsin Shaikh, she moved to Ahmedabad, India. Her life’s journey brought her to India, where this unique bond was born
She met Narendra Modi decades ago when he was working in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). That meeting sparked a bond that has stood the test of time
Every year, she crafts handmade rakhis at home. Among them, she chooses the most beautiful one for PM Modi
Her chosen rakhi always carries the sacred ‘OM’ symbol for blessings and protection. For her, it’s not just a design—it’s a prayer
Years before he became PM, Qamar prayed for Modi to lead the nation. Her wish came true in 2014 when he became India’s Prime Minister
Whether in joy or hardship, she never skipped sending the rakhi. Even during the pandemic, the tradition continued
PM Modi has acknowledged her gesture several times, expressing gratitude. Their exchange reflects respect beyond politics and borders
For Qamar, this rakhi is a symbol of peace, unity, and sibling love. A cross-border bond that inspires many every Raksha Bandhan
