He speaks superb English doesn’t mean anything. I don’t understand this obsession about people who are fluent in English are the smartest among us. Maybe you didn’t mean it, but I hear that a lot. Some politicians who speak ‘Posh’ are facing charges of abetment of suicide. I don’t care whether someone does a received pronounciation or a boston brahmin accent. I have so many Chinese friends who are brilliant and can’t speak fluent English (I will tell you something, some of those students aren’t allowed to teach but are asked to grade instead). If we were to judge people based on how well they speak English, then mute people cant be successful in life because they ‘can’t speak English’. Yes, English is an international language and will continue to be but this whole idea of respecting people based on how well they can speak English is complete non sense.
About his communication skills, we all know how articulate he is, especially how well he can answer the media. The classic examples are the interview with Goswami and the more recent one is when he was confronted at a conference in Singapore about what the country’s growth rate was during his family’s regime vs how the world was growing at that time, look it up.
I think an unforgivable mistake that the Modi’s ministers did was not to change the text books. How would the younger generation know about the anti-sikh riots, Kashmiri pandit geonocide, Hashimpura massacare and not to forget the Emergency. You can’t stop them from learning these through the internet.
You can’t hold Modi responsible for mob lynching. The society should realize what is bad and what is good. How many people were watching Nirbhaya suffer on the road? Did anyone hold SoniaG responsible for what had happened? Has anyone ever asked the congress government to dissolve the parliament and call in for a fresh election? I don’t want to judge anyone, but if you visit the US you would know how many shootings occur here. In the universities the police give a crash course on how people should behave if there is an active shooter on campus. There should be a sense of brotherhood among us. We should come together and get justice to the victims. And not to mention, the media in India is highly polarized. “Modi has to resign because the man at the grocery store gave me an eclairs chocolate instead of 1rs change. This is intolerance. Modi is instantiating people to give chocolates instead of Indian currency.” This is the most absurd thing that I can imagine. Who was the prime minister who resigned during the anti – sikh riots? No one? Besides, Modi did resign in 2002 and dissolved the assembly.
If its not Modi, then I would like to see a new face. Maybe Parrikar (unfortunately he is ill) or Dr. Swamy but definitely not Rahul Gandhi. I think there should be a term limit. 1 term is more than enough to prove themselves. Except in this case someone has to clean up the cesspool that the previous governments have created. What good did Nehru do in his political career? What was he a PM for 4 term? Who cares, besides we don’t want dynastic politics, we don’t have kings or queens anymore. We are the biggest democracy in the world. We better keep it that way.
Also, this election will not be a repeat of Trump vs Hillary (even with the roles reversed). A lot of people knew how much they trusted Hillary.
I remember someone was asking this in one of the youtube videos whether the congress party would have accepted SG, (how should I put it) if she was an African women or maybe from the eastern part of the world. I don't wanna talk about it, but I have seen (and experienced first hand) some Indian people giving more importance towards white people over people from our own country.
