Modi's Hypocrisy on Full Display at Davos 2018

[RiazHaq]

http://www.riazhaq.com/2018/01/modis-hypocrisy-on-full-display-at.html

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke today at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in support of globalization and talked of his commitment to diversity in his country.




Modi's Rhetoric:

Prime Minister Modi warned that "forces of protectionism are raising their heads" against international trade and commerce. "Bilateral and multilateral trade negotiations have come to a kind of standstill," he said.

He also praised his country's commitment to democracy and diversity. "For a society with diverse religions, cultures, languages, attires and cuisines, democracy is not just a political system but a way of living," he said, adding that inclusion is the "main principle" of his government.

Is Modi living up to the ideals of globalization and diversity that he spoke of in his Davos speech? Let's compare these words to his government's actions.

Globalization:

In December 2017, Modi's government imposed stiff tariffs on imports of cellphones, video cameras and televisions, according to a report in New York Times.

The Indian government is also seriously considering a recommendation by Indian Directorate General of Safeguards, Customs and Central Excise that the country impose 70 percent tariffs on imported solar panels.

Diversity:

Mr. Modi has pursued Hindutva politics and policies in spite of warnings by leading economists, including Ragu Rajan, Arun Shourie and analysts at Moody's. These have created a lot of fear among religious minorities and Dalits.

But Mr. Modi has built his entire political career on the intense hatred of Muslims. US President Donald Trump built his successful presidential campaign on Islamophobiaand xenophobia. That's what the two men have in common.

India's largest state of Uttar Pradesh elected rabidly anti-Muslim chief minister Yogi Adiyanath who was hand-picked by Muslim-hating Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2017.

Just as white racists form the core of Trump's support base in America, the Modi phenomenon in India has been fueled by Hindu Nationalists whose leaders have praised Adolph Hitler for his hatred of Jews.

M.S. Golwalkar, a Hindu Nationalist who Mr. Modi has described as "worthy of worship" wrote the following about Muslims in his book "We":

"Ever since that evil day, when Moslems first landed in Hindustan, right up to the present moment, the Hindu Nation has been gallantly fighting on to take on these despoilers. The Race Spirit has been awakening.”

"To keep up the purity of the Race and its culture, Germany shocked the world by her purging the country of the Semitic races -- the Jews. Race pride at its highest has been manifested here. Germany has also shown how well-nigh impossible it is for races and cultures, having differences going to the root, to be assimilated into one united whole, a good lesson for us in Hindusthan to learn and profit by."

Summary:

India Prime Minister Narendra Modi's actions do not match his rhetoric on globalization and commitment to diversity. His government's protectionist trade policies and treatment of minorities speak far louder than his words at the World Economic Forum Davos, Switzerland.

Indians are just beggars at Davos, they dont have money, they dont have resource, all they have is their PPTs like we all know.

One of my friend has done business with an indian firm before, and he told me the indians have no money and no shame, and they will brag you a YUUUGE order, and after countless time of argue they will only settle for 1 or 2 cheapest possible models.So his company now has a implicit rule: dont do business with indians, its not worth the time, even africians have more money than them and african businessmen dont brag as much either.

To see an example, you need go no further than indians' much hyped pathetic MMCA whatever $10 billion deal for 120+ fighters, after wasting 20 years, only settle for 30 fighters instead.In contrast, the Saudi Arab talk and sign a deal and seal the order of $50 billion weapon from the US within one year.

Work is already on to stop huge amount of Kaveri water to go into sea. Idiot people do not educate themselves before Writing anything.

The second thing is that If any problem can be solved by dialogue does not mean that all problems are already solved. There shall be dialogue followed by negations, give and take and resolution. This is a typical mentality . If he talks of swachha bharat, find a photo of garbage somewhere and mock swachha bharat mission.

I remember when 14 KM long gardens were made on both the side of sabarmati river, They went out of city to take some photograph, where some garbage was there. they print it and questioned sabarmati river front.

Unfortunate that Indians your friend met were like that

But a Taiwanese friend revealed Chinese traders he had the most unfortunate experience of doing business were most filthy subhuman degenerative scum he has ever met. Almost all of these traders have connection with Chinese organized crime syndicate and assist these groups in smuggling and trafficking. They make the most profit in trafficking desperate Chinese village women to brothels in East Asia, specifically Japan and Thailand. Those wretched scum boasted about how they made an extra bonus on a rural Chinese teenage girl sold off to a prostitution den in Japan, with the most perverted gleeful blush.


I have not made my mind on Chinese traders yet as subhuman flesh merchants, since I have never done business with one.

There are two kinds of pariahs in the arms trade world

one pariah who cannot afford arms

other pariah is not allowed to buy arms and cast out of the arms trade like diseased filth.

Its natural for the latter pariah cannot parse a basic arms trade and whine about.

indians have a GDP per-capita less than Africa actually so just stop your nonsense and learn to accept the fact.

No Africans brag about they will become a super dope power by 2010 despite of they are richer and have far more resource than you, yet the pathetic indians keep bragging about that.

Btw, even North Korea produce more food per-capita-wise than India, yet Noko try to import food whilst indians export food, so maybe not only Noko design better ballaistic missiles than you but also they feed their citizens less hungry than you do as well, you can clearly see how pathetic india really is.

As for being homeless?

I am not sure how indians calculate their mudhutlessness, but it seems that in the table you cited, the US has higher homeless rate than you do

Glad your friend company found out just how the Indians are in business .

Glad your friend company found out just how the Indians are in business .

I remember once the americans produced a table which lists the fate of the US companies who get an indian CEO, and according to the table, there is very high chance is the company will face serious trouble in the near future under the leadsership of an indian CEO, and many go bankruptcy straightly.

I was thinking it is a bad joke come from flawed statistics before, but after learning stories like my friend told me, I begin to think there is definitely some truth and reason behind that.

#India's #GDP "Growth (under #Modi) has dipped below the 30-year average" Economist Kaushik Basu. #ModiAtDavos

http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/int...year-average-kaushik-basu/article22500231.ece

The former Chief Economic Adviser on India’s current slowdown in economic growth and the mix of policies needed to reignite it
In a career spanning more than four decades, economist Kaushik Basu has donned many hats. He was Chief Economic Adviser to the Government of India (2009-2012) and Chief Economist of the World Bank (2012-2016). At present, he is Professor of Economics and the C. Marks Professor of International Studies at Cornell University, U.S. He is also President of the International Economic Association for a three-year term (2017-2020). A prolific author, Mr. Basu explains why demonetisation was a bad idea and the need for the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

You have been a vocal critic of demonetisation and its intended purpose. Do you think its immediate effects are behind us? And, conversely, if there are increased digital transactions and tax scrutiny, as claimed, will that eventually lead to more growth?
I believe that demonetisation’s worst effects on the economy are behind us now. I do not think it will confer any long-run benefits in terms of digitalisation because that is a slow, natural process. There is no way that an emerging economy like India, with more than half the population still living in the informal sector, can leapfrog advanced economies and get there by a simple policy intervention. The main damage of demonetisation is to India’s reputation as a professionally run economy, since it was an uncalled-for jolt to the market.

You have been a consistent supporter of the other major reform, the GST. Is the current multi-tiered GST design optimal, considering that much of the voiced distress comes from small businesses? The textile sector, for example.
The GST was needed and I am glad that the government managed the political process to get it through. But it has been poorly implemented. For such a large policy shift, the planning and implementation design should have been much better. Also, it should not be too multi-tiered, which is both inconvenient and makes one wonder if this is a sign of sector-specific cronyism. Once we go past these teething troubles, the GST should aid efficiency and growth.

Has the Narendra Modi government leveraged the historic mandate it received, in terms of economic policy? Is there scope for further reform, which could possibly be seen in the Union Budget to be presented soon?
The broad policy continuity that we have seen in India — the GST, the effort to manage fiscal policy in ways similar to what happened before 2014 — is India’s strength. Yes, as always, a lot depends on the Budget, and we are all waiting to see what new initiatives are announced. But in fairness to the Ministry of Finance, India’s challenge is not a matter of fiscal policy alone. India’s economy is doing poorly on several fronts. Consider exports — they have dragged, with India’s trade deficit with China growing rapidly. Exports did seem to grow well from April to November last year, with an annual growth of 12.3%. But it was a time when several emerging economies did well and India’s performance fell short of many other nations, like Indonesia and Vietnam whose exports grew by 16% and 24%, respectively. I believe that India’s long-term prospects are very good, but to get out of the current morass, it needs a professionally designed combination of fiscal, monetary and international trade policy initiatives.

It is a well known fact in Yiwu that these people are CHEAP and dishonest . They are only interested in the cheapest products, promise a huge order of a few containers then ask for a deep discount on already cheapest products, end up buying a few pathetic pallets. Some Chinese vendors just use recycled materiel to make "India Specific" products, others just refuse Indian orders.

These people do not have the concept of integrity, they boast, lie, cheat, anything they can get away with. We can see the same pattern on some of them here.

Now that reminds me of the modified Kiev-class aircraft carrier that India negotiate for years and years until the Russian vomited blood and gave it away for free.
