That's what everyone had been saying for years but Indians chose to elect a hardcore Hindu Extremist Government three times in a row. Why?
That Hindu Extremist Government kept telling the population that India was already a great power and it will soon become a Super Power. How on Earth 1.4 billion people be fooled so easily? It's not the 1800s.
Do you remember the videos and articles written by Indians questioning whether China can catch up to India? I thought 2010s was a really bombastic period in India and the population fully supported it.
Completely wrong and inaccurate analysis.
India is a democracy and the democratic process has its own ways to pan out.
Modi is disliked across the border and is understandable. Even I would have hated him if I was staying across.
I don’t want to dwell on this issue either because it would end up into your word against yours and usual tu tu mai mai.
It is usual for a nation to create hope and positivity. It is done through real work on ground and telling the nation that we are marching ahead.
When you exhort a nation to put their best then you have to do it by telling them that future is bright, if, we work towards it.
I hope you remember IK when he had said ‘ghbrana nahi hai”. Trump can say “ let’s make America great again”.
Even Xi, had made similar slogans to motivate the Chinese to work towards the nations well being.
But when Modi says anything of this sort, it becomes fooling the nation?
Indian democracy has come this far through many ups and downs but has stood tall. No General or dictator has been able to subvert it like Pakistan. The difference is starkly clear.
India is marching ahead on each and every matrix and there is no stopping. It is not Modi but our democratic process that is held in high regard by so called 1.4 billion fools. Same fools have defeated BJP in many states. These same fools had taught Indira a lesson in 1979 and to many others many times.
These 1.4 billion may not be as smart as few nations in the neighbourhood but all are not equal. God made some of you better than us.
We will live with it.
Modi’s time will also come when this lot of 1.4 billion decide. May not be as per your timelines but it will.
