Fearful India Sees a Savior in Narendra Modi.

Irrationality has no cure. Haters will hate. People like GuyNextdoor deserve Congress. We deserve better, or at least the chance to have better.



Exactly before WW1 Germany was one of the most sophisticated societies and then the WW1. Those were different times and Hitler rose in an era when Germany down and out and oppressed by sanctions imposed on them by the victors of WW1. India is in no such situation right now. There is just no comparison.

Yeah I know 'those were different times' and 'these are different circumstances' etc. ROutine and staple explantions. Anyway I have no doubts that you will get what you deserve dude

I remember last year the Owaisi junior threatened to slaughter all Hindus in India. He also challenged Modi. I expected Modi to retaliate and hit back virulently. Unlike Hitler or any other fascist he did what a sensible man would do - ignore the barking dog. He was busy drawing up the final plans for a 600MW solar power project (that he inaugurated recently). He could have uttered a Hindu slogan challenging Owaisi back and got tremendous support from even the most secular of Hindus. Communal tension would have risen and he would have got many followers.

But he let that opportunity go.

Unlike Hitler. That was when many(like me) started supporting him.

@Aeronaut - "Our land our rules"
@Chinese-Dragon - We have a lot to learn from you. Foremost being hard work. Modi means good economy. Good economy means better India. Period. After the Court's exoneration of Modi in the riots case(even though Modi is NOT in the Center), I see no reason why Indians should not support him. True - the leftist elite class will have sleepless nights, but their time of entitlement is over.

Another comparison between Modi and Hitler. I can safely conclude you know nothing about Hitler. The characters are vastly different. The hard no nonsense look of Modi is not enough reason to call him a Hitler. Especially now that the Riots claim can't be thrown on him anymore(legally that would be contempt of court)

Legally hitler was never tried for the fire in the reichstag. He blamed all of that on the commies.

Indians are in the mood to forgive modi for everything from rioting

no we wouldn't have forgiven him if he was involved in those riots but the fact is he wasn't.
Its been 12 goddamn years since then and no one be it SIT, CBI, his Political opponents, Media, NGOs, HR activists haven't been able present even a single damn evidence in the court of law over his involvement in those riots.

Oh the gentle and tender hartedness of the man just floors me

 

[Guynextdoor2]

So what do I do? Try him now in an Indian court in absentia? I don't know what it has to do with Modi!
Unless you think Modi was somehow involved in the Reichstag fire of 33.

WARNING: You are debating about a topic that I have digested very well.


Oh the tongue in cheek

You mean it don't give you indigestion yet? Means dependence on legal process alone never gives you a full picture.

Hitler's germany was economically the most prosperous in it's history and historically the most bigoted nation on the planet.

Wrong

Germany in pre-WWI era was economically most prosperous in it's history. The very reason of breakdown of alliance between Germany and Britain in 1890's was the fact that Germany has emerged as it's largest competitor and the resulting growth in strength of Germany has caused changes in it's foreign policy from that of realpolitik to weltpolitik.Victory of Nazis has less to do with material superiority but to innovative tactics adopted by wehrmacht. French matilda tanks were better than German panzers but they were used piecemeal as infantry support vehicles not in independent mechanized divisions.


Liberalism stand on the shoulders of Economic prosperity. Denying it is an dishonest act and overlooking massive empirical evidence. It is no coincidence that all of the liberal countries are economically prosperous and the fact that there is a direct relation between hate crimes and economic downturn. Economic prosperity encourages liberalism by many pathways.It decreases the pool of people from whom fundamentalist derive their foot soldiers by providing people with a vocation and by reducing the general frustration level in society which decrease the need for scapegoating.It also allows people to rise higher up in their hierarchy of needs and focus on their self actualisation. It also provides resources to build institutions like efficient police and judiciary.

So yes, Economy is the most important thing to be considered when voting in an election.

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.

problem mate ? though not Indian, but I am a socialist , & a proud one @ that

Exactly.

Before running for PM, Modi proved his capabilities by administering and developing an entire province for a decade, and showing better results than any other major province in India.

Hitler on the other hand, before he ran for Chancellor, he wasn't administering or developing anything. He was running around with his gang, murdering political opponents, destroying private businesses (owned by Jews) and simply seizing resources by virtue of force and violence.

They are two entirely different types of people. Modi does development, Hitler did "smash and grab" of any resources he could get his hands on.

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.

Most Indian Journalists/Columnists dont have an independent brain,if at all they have a brain.

They are all paid to write stuff,some are so bad that they write what they write without even getting paid.

They talk using very very big words but have zero knowledge of the ground reality and what actually happens,even when they are proven wrong so many times,they dont have the decency to apologize.

basically,the worst scum on earth.

and i generally dont like this comparison of every leader to,he is hitler/mao/chruchill/pinochet blah blah blah.

objective opinions r clear n simple.

Wrong, Hitlers Germany was trimmed for total war from the very beginning, yes he saved million from unemployment, build new roads, tracks etc etc..... but everything was for the final war.

He build up a world class military by taking insane amounts of debts, the only way to make up for that was to plunder other nations

hey koovie,what does an average christian think about modi?

 

[illusion8]

More like fed up India looking at someone with hope.

hey koovie,what does an average christian think about modi?

Well most of my relatives and me know he is pro business and not socialist, thats reason enough to support him

On religion, even if he brings too much religion into his policies, it wont change much in our daily life here in Kochi.
