On the 75th birthday of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India witnessed a powerful gesture of tribute and creativity from an extraordinary individual. Dr. Sai Kaustuv Dashgupta, a name synonymous with resilience and inspiration, created a graphic artwork dedicated to the Prime Minister using only one finger of his left hand.

Living with a rare brittle bone disease that has caused more than 50 fractures and left him 90% disabled, Dr. Sai defies all odds. What others might see as limitation, he transforms into possibility. Using assistive technology and sheer willpower, he crafts powerful graphic designs that speak louder than words.

Fondly known as the “Wheelchair Warrior,” Dr. Sai is a National Award winner, Global TEDx Speaker, India’s first disabled Certified Happiness Coach, and a 16-time World Record Holder. His journey stands as a beacon for persons with disabilities across India and beyond.

His special birthday artwork for Prime Minister Modi is more than a visual tribute—it is a celebration of human potential, creativity, and gratitude. Dr. Sai says, “For me, art is not just an expression—it is a way of life. The inspiration I draw from our Prime Minister constantly gives me the courage to contribute to India.”

This creation not only showcases his artistic brilliance but also serves as a reminder that no matter how tough the circumstances, with determination, positive thinking, and passion, every challenge can be transformed into a masterpiece.

May Dr. Sai’s indomitable spirit and creativity continue to be blessed, inspiring millions and contributing toward a stronger, more inclusive India.
