Neither state govts nor companies earn large profits from lotteries. However, a look at the system shows there’s ample evidence of murky dealings and financial irregularities.
Sitharaman, who is only the second woman defence minister in India's history, is expected to work closely with the Finance Minister to take key industry-related decisions
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
Any proof for you article or it’s just the Modi bias you and the print have in general? Who is worried about western media? Does China have a good name works wide? Economy is all what it matters and Modi is doing fine in that. See the “ease of business doing” index. End of story. Just don’t let your hate toward also hide the facts.
What stood out was naming orgs such as Amnesty!!! & we all know their funding sources, agenda and influenced mindset. If they are truly what they claim to be then why is it that they never cover anything in UK, EU or US where racism, nationalism and agenda driven abuse happens. Writings should be clearly prefaced with disclaimers such as “personal opinion”
There is no text book free market capitalist party in Bharat. So any government in power sticks on to socialism. The difference is so subtle that it doesn’t matter who is in power. The same problems, the same socialist schemes- left right or center.
a) What are the costs? Can you quantify them?
b) How are the so called “hardline” decisions of Modi govt hurting India’s global standing? Is that your own best guess, or do you actually have any before/after data to quantify the “hurt” or “reduction” in standing?
c) If Indian media channels can casually be dismissed off as “attack dogs of ruling party”… is it not plausible that international media could also be converted into some other lower species of animal enslaved by the opposition to Modi?
So, besides the carefully selected international articles disparaging India, what have you got?
Dhume and his ilk make money by casting baseless, evidence less aspersions on an elected government IF it is BJP/NDA. This ‘well-known’ journalist – a fan of Sonia Gandhi – is naive enough to think that international media is completely unbiased and incorruptible.
Mr. Dhume, when BJP forms the next government on 23rd, you may have more time at your hands. I sincerely suggest that you practice writing articles, make them deeper, original, evidence based demonstrating your ability to analyse meaningfully, and evaluate without bias. If you cannot, then please quit journalism.
Mr Dhume has to understand that there exists a world outside US as well. I don’t need validation from US on whether or not Modi is good, or whether my democracy is secured, may be Mr Dhume needs but that just shows his lack of self confidence with this constant urge of external validation. As recently as last month, UAE and Russia honored Modi with their highest order awards. UAE honoured PM with its highest decoration, Zayed Medal and Russian honored with it Order of St Andrew the Apostle, the highest order of the Russian Federation. Are these not external countries or just the editors at Time magazine or guardian represents the world views?
There is no point in writing such article if Modi supporters are not supposed to believe it as Modi haters do anyhow already believe it. When I read such pieces, my understanding about authors with a mask of intellectual become even more firmer that in a democracy, these small number of fake intellectuals want the majority of people to listen to them and dance to their tune. However, in this information age this is not going to happen because people now have access to different point of views i.e. take informed decisions. Even in deep down villages, mobile phones have brought a sort of revolution.

So many personal opinions, such little facts.

We know who butters your toast dear author.
What virulent western media says is of little consequence……they have little standing left in their own countries.
The people who are making record investments in India will continue to do so.
