Why the World’s Most Powerful Leaders Really Love India

[MokshaVimukthi]

Actually the country respected him too, but his party didn't and that caused the public opinion to change. That's actually the main difference of what we see today, Modi supported by the BJP visiting Japan last month, is better than MMS not supported by the Congress visiting Japan in January, even if the outcome or the policy changes between both countries is the same. Which also goes for amy policies that the NDA now simply took over, they look different now for many presented Modi or the NDA, than they looked in the recent years by the UPA (make in India policy by BJP today vs Make in India policy started by UPA a few years back => the same policy, just different PR!). So it's just our perception that changes in most cases, sometimes even within the same government, since everybody loved MMS for UPA1 and the nuclear pact, but when the Congress didn't needed him anymore after the election for the 2nd term, they simply cut him loose.

LOL. Is that supposed to be funny ? MMS lost his respect among fellow Indians the moment 2G scam came out.

Then there was the COAL scam in which he was directly involved.

Modi has done for foreign relations in 3 months what MMS and UP had done in 10 years.

Because India begs these leaders for help on economic and strategic issues. And its not everyday u see a genocidal criminal elected to PM. So naturally he is popular. The guy is a special kind of species among blood thirsty tyrants.

I've learnt that prevaricating on political issues is @sancho's greatest attribute.

Or am I showing the whole picture by looking at things from different perspectives, rather then letting myself be influenced only by certain media or party politics?

You hardly can deny that MMS was a well liked PM during UPA1 (outside and inside of India), infact he was more popular during the elections back than, than his party, which is why they used him as the key to win the elections, just as the BJP used Modi now. Both won based on poppularity, not on party policies!
That's basic politics in every democratic country in the world, just as it is to use the media to create pictures in the public, that doesn't necessarily need to be true.

Was India disliked by Japan, China, Europe, Russia or the US before the elections? Of course not

Was MMS highly regarded as well when he came to these countries? Yes he was

Didn't we increasing relations to the top industrial and emerging countries for years? Yes we do

So are these countries actually loving "India" the country, for the economical and strategic opportunities "it" offers, or do they love Modi and is this a new development now as the article wants to make us believe?

My point is not pro or con Modi, but pro reality (just as I do on other topics too: https://defence.pk/threads/rs-25-000-crore-navys-lpd-tender-only-for-private-sector.333988/page-3#post-6187004)!

And the reality here is, that the perception of foreign countries or governments towards India didn't changed now, but it's exactly the same as it was in the recent years, because we keep offering the same opportunities to them and that even to countries like China, which we do have issues with. So why do we create the image as if something big has happened now, when it actually doesnt?

Was Modi able to sign the nuclear contract with Japan, that the former government couldn't? No and I don't even expected that so early, but that would be a major achivement of him that would show something has actually changed in the perception of Japan towards us.

Same goes with China now, for years we don't get any further with the border issue because the Chinese doesn't even exchange official maps to see where the issues lies and what compromises could be achived. Did Modi changed that now? No and again, I didn't even expected anything like that, but it again shows that apart from the usual improvement of business relations, nothing much has changed.

So what you call prevaricating, I call giving a different point of view and anybody can make up their own mind about it and get to an own conclusion.

If that was the case then the investor sentiments would have changed so drastically the day it was evident that Modi will be PM. It would not have continued to climbed when Modi became PM and continued to rise when the Chinese president had a successful visit to India.

Are you talking about stock markets or about FDI? Because the earlier is based on the sentiments you mentioned, the latter about economical improvements that we see since late last year (reduction of inflation, Rupee getting stronger, global financial situation back on track, Indias growth projection up to around 6% within 2014/15...), but even the stock market was growing in the recent years when Indias economy was actually lower, so increasing after the election more than it alread was is not a big deal. Modi and the NDA have to make actual policy changes to improve India, that will take time and even I say one should only get to a first verdict after 6 month, but in the same manner, one should not take everything that is good today and automatically relate it to the new government when the policy changes for that were done during the former government! Just as we shouldn't make up major changes in foreign policy, when actually nothing major has happend.

We see plenty of news things happening

Feel free to name anything actually new and big in the political relations with Japan or China that was achived by Modi?

They love us because they don't consider us a challenge and that is a problem.
