Fearful India Sees a Savior in Narendra Modi.

[HariPrasad]

Give me a break.

There is no "massacre" of Muslims in China, not even our enemies make this claim.

Whereas there are plenty of massacres of Muslims in India, starting with thousands of Muslims butchered in Gujarat, to a hundred thousand Muslims butchered in Kashmir.

And now your fellow countrymen are about to make Modi the Prime Minister of India. Cry your tears to them.

This is standard reply of typical communist lie. There is nothing new.

Even your own country India does not make any such allegations towards us.

Whereas India openly admits a hundred thousand deaths in Kashmir as well as thousands more in Gujarat, if you want to find a "Muslim Butcher" look no further than your own India.

And great Modi.

He just couldn't help himself. I was like here we go again

Ignore him

Show him what? The thing that's lurking inside your underwear?

I saw the Ajmal Pathan exchange. Couldn't stop laughing.

BS.

The death in Kashmir is due to state sponsored terrorism while the death in china is also state sponsored. The only difference is that in our case it is other state.

But a simple quid pro quo doesn’t explain the effervescent cult of Modi among upper-caste urban Hindus, including some of my own friends and relatives, or the fervor among even a section of the intelligentsia for a leader whom Ashis Nandy, one of India’s most respected public intellectuals, describes as a “classic, clinical case of a fascist,” with “clear paranoid and obsessive personality traits.”

I was going to bash this article as another article of a champagne socialist. But Mishra has some relevant points.

Socialists still need to be bashed though.

And his accusations don't make any sense either?

People don't accuse China of committing massacres against Muslims. The claims against China are of "discrimination" or "oppression" of Muslims.

But massacres of Muslims? No, that's an allegation that is most often leveled at India (Kahmir/Gujarat), and Modi.

The trolling here is just getting more and more confusing.

Fact: Muslims are the biggest killers of Muslims.

That being said, he had no right to troll you like that

He is not all bad, he at least stood upto Niall Ferguson's Neo-Imperialistic bullsh!t

He went downhill after that.... but still

The answer depends on who you ask. If you were to ask left intellectual and author Pankaj Mishra - which is what the Financial Times did – Modi is the “primary Indian exponent of capitalism with Chinese characteristics.” FT assures us that he did not mean that as a compliment. “Chinese characteristics”, for Mishra, means authoritarian capitalism.

@Chinese-Dragon do you agree with this assessment of Modi?

 

[Rajaraja Chola]

Let's see how many India's Hindu Extremists vote this fascist scum as their next Prime Minister.

Count me in dear friend

He is your typical JNU jholawadi leftist, who thinks we live in some sorta utopian world, where the wealth is supposed to automatically create itself and be equally distributed amongst every one. All this while he sits in London and rakes in 100,000 pound pay checks.

I agree with it.

His style of capitalism is very close to that of someone like Deng Xiaoping.

Almost like capitalist nationalism.

The fact that Pankaj thinks it's a bad thing has little to do with whether or not it is effective. And it is effective, it lifted more people out of poverty in China than any other country in the history of the Earth.

It's effective in India too, the evidence is that Gujarat was the only major Indian province to grow at an average rate of above 10% during the last decade.

I consider Modi to be India's only chance of attaining "sustained double-digit growth", and hence the only way India could become a direct competitor to us in the future.

I don't think it's right to over-hype anyone just yet, but what other choice does India have? Rahul Gandhi, or those clowns in AAP?

Both Congress and AAP seem to be competing with each other, as to who can be a more "batshit insane socialist".

When I saw the Congress schemes like FSB and NEGERA, basically endless subsidies without any production increases to pay for them, I thought that was the "worst" it could get to.

Then I saw Kajweral saying that none of his supporters had to pay their bills.

They both love to dish out government spending on freebies, but where on Earth are the productivity gains that will allow them to pay for it?

Kajweral will wreck your economy like a nuclear bomb. He's the spitting image of a Red Guard during our Cultural Revolution, with his idea that the "mob" should decide whether or not doctors/teachers should be sacked or not, and other such incredulous ideas.

The only silver lining is that at least he doesn't seem to be quite as violent as the Red Guards, who threw Deng Xiaoping's own son out of a window.
