Modi may continue to win elections for a while, but what will he really be remembered for in the long run, besides his amazing ability to command votes?
Sam Pitroda can help Congress by pasting some strong, sticky tape all over his mouth and then spending the rest of the 2024 Lok Sabha election campaign in silence. He has done enough damage already.
Economists say there are weaknesses in India’s GDP data. But statisticians claim the accusations are based on flawed understanding, saying while GDP has problems, the economists are looking in the wrong places.
A next generation extended stand-off air-to-surface missile test fired by IAF, ROCKS has been designed & manufactured by Israeli defence major Rafael, keeping India’s needs in mind.
Lol… Narendra Modi is a legend and will be remembered as the best Prime minister of India .You guys keep trying and crying we don’t care …Modi is a nationalist unlike Congress party So history definitely is going to be kind to him and Rahul and Sonia will be remembered as the traitors of the country ..!!
A coward who gave up land in exchange for some investments….
The greatest benefactor of the human race is one who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before … In a poor country – the images of migrants walking long distances home cannot allow us to deny this grim reality – the first metric of achievement should be economic development. That starts with job creation. Better education and healthcare, which unlocks the demographic dividend. Social harmony and cohesion in a diverse nation. Better relations with the neighbourhood, building on respect India has earned over generations for making a success of its democracy despite many constraints. For a Raja to be remembered as great, Praja khush honi chahiye.
Well articulated article and broadly covered Modi six years governance, only thing I would like to add is that he also brought up IBC reform which is well thought and needed, yes if he would have put his entire focus on accelerating on economy we would definitely been in better position today and he had mandate to taking those decision but personally failed to understand that why he allowed to drifted his policies and most of his tenure been headline by controversial and dividing issue.
I can agree with you to some extent but when you try to portray removal of articles 370 and abolishing tripple talak as a failure. and you even assumed that history will judge Modi poorly for that. That is when I seriously doubt your authenticity. I don’t think your views are balanced you seem like someone with an agenda
Well, if history writing would be left to the woke, Urban Naxals and their sympathisers in media then obviously Modi would be judged harshly and the likes of Manmohan Singh and even Lalu Prasad Yadav would be glorified.
If you actually believe that Article 370, Triple Talaq, CAA, NRC, Ayodhya do not have the support of the Indian masses then I suggest you take a sabbatical and do a “discovery of India” for yourself.
Modi wins coz he understands the pulse of the masses.
Modi’s adulation is amongst Hindus , and that is based only on one achievement : beating up Indian Muslims in 2002. That was the reason for his rise, and that continues to be the cause for his support.
Destruction of the economy, governance, foreign policy blunders, and a thrashing from China, do not matter for most Hindus. For them, Modi gave them satisfaction for putting Muslims in their place. Hindus also imagine they have become a superpower, and the whole world is sitting up in awe of India, due to Modi. Garv say kaho hum Hindu hain.
The whole world sees Modi as a vain, ignorant Hindu, with an inferiority complex about being Hindu. Xi recognised that early, and he buttered and manipulated him. There are 4 years to go, so there are more disasters on the way.
In my view, the author has left out many cardinal sins of Modi government, of which complete subjugation of every democratic institution including ECI, RBI, NSSO, CAG, CBI and even the Supreme Court tops the list. Next comes the subversion of democratic process itself, as evidenced by the toppling of the elected governments of Karnataka and MP and grabbing power in states like Goa and Manipur by blatant use of money power and political power. Hounding of opposition politicians by blatant partisan use of law enforcement agencies, unlawful detention using sedition and ant-terrorism laws of dissenters and rights activists is nothing but daylight murder of democracy. Looting the public by shameless price hike of petroleum prices while the crude prices have hit rock bottom is a prime example of the innate cruelty of this dispensation, exhibited during a global pandemic situation. The list doesn’t end here, but thought that at least the most damaging deeds of this government should not have been omitted in an article like this.
Print is a yellow rag and the writers come out of the sewers to get paid for writing anti Modi rubbish before disappearing into the sewers
This Ruhi is one such scum bag talking about The greatest PM the country ever had
In recent photographs, Modi ji is increasingly looking unwell beneath his cream-powder make up. Galwan will have a metamorphosing effect on him. Either he will become more humane with lesser control over situations than he has today, or he will become more ruthless and even more controlling than he is today. How History will judge him will start getting written NOW ONWARDS.
Poohi is congrass journalist. She will never talk about reducing population through tough measures . She believes that all her qualifications must ensure her the role of a middle men which is possible only under her congrass party rule. She should stop cribing and start working to help her party come to power. P.S. BIHAR is going for elections.
reducing population through tough measures – gujarat, delhi riots, 40 crpf jawans, galwan valley loss of life.
they aren’t measures they are cardinal sins
Well said, PR!
Pulwama (40 CRPF jawans) was definitely a BJP sponsored/ignored murder. Davinder Singh, who was the police chief of Pulwama at that time, got promoted after the incident. He was planning something big and similar when he erroneously got arrested while ferrying two terrorists to Delhi just before 26 January. “Aap game mut kharab Karo, Sir”, were his words to the IPS officer who got him arrested.
Even though Davinder Singh was arrested on very serious charges, HE HAS BEEN GRANTED BAIL JUST TWO DAYS AGO.
Someone will have to do a lot of explaining to God (if not to 40 families).
Only leftist writers think this way not true Indians , History will remember Modi& Shaw as real hero’s.
The author has myopic views on many current problems, Intoducing CAA or 370A article related problems are all fabricated by various political parties just to gain political mileage. The indecisive stands on such important issues by CONgress for all these years was nothing but appeasement for minorities at the cost of National interest.
The big economic reforms are awaited and hopefully it will be carried out shortly.
The real pain with this author is removal of article 370, 35 and above all caa. The same is the issue with all anti Bharat forces like congress, left , jihadis and tukde tukde gang. Nothing to surprise. But look the reactions he received. And let them in this illusion that history will be harsh on Mr Modi. Modi is the pride of every patriotic person in India. And a villian for desh drohies.
Your deep seated hatred for Modiji is quite clear. It is surprising that you could not find any single good in Modiji. King of blundering fools Jawaharlal Nehru has millions of his statues all over India and a statue in Madam Thussad museum to boot. And people like you are singing paens to him. Indira Gandhi too did a lot of damage and where were you hiding ? Rajiv Gandhi got hundreds of our sainiks ki lord in LTTE war which was not our war. All of them have millions of statues all over India. Millions of buildings and institutions are named after them. Beware. History will not be kind to people like you. You will ranked with Jaichand Rathod, Mir Jaffer and Mir Kasim.
?
Same old rhetoric, Demo , GST , article 370 CÀA .. I think we common people have better sense than poor and biased author.. Article not worth reading .. Sign off
It is a concise analysis. A few conclusions seem far-fetched. While no one contests Modi’s vote-catching ability, figures tell the proper story. The Bjp vote share at about 35% is the lowest for any majority government, just better than its own 2014 tally of 32%. This actually means that two thirds of the population have rejected them. Vaste swathes of region, the entire south of Vindhyas has almost entirely kept away from them just as the North East and North West. The Bjp is essentially a cow belt party consisting of four Bimaru States plus Gujarat. Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. All, undeveloped with maximum illiteracy. It is easy to play on the emotions of this region. The already existing anti Muslim feelings here can be easily incited by the Bjp to win elections on religion, not performance. Hence Ram Mandir is an important issue over here. Less to hail Prabhu Ram and more to rile Rahim. Polarise voters and win. Hence a Yogi with Modi to encash vulnerabilities of history.
” Bjp is essentially a cow belt party consisting of four Bimaru States plus Gujarat. Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. All, undeveloped with maximum illiteracy”
Excellent observation Mr Rajkamal Srivastava !
The vagaries of the first-past-the-post electoral system that India has inherited from the British results in flawed outcomes whereby one need not win the popular vote to get elected to power. Indeed, even when more than 60% of the population rejects a party, the party can nonetheless be voted to power !
But getting back to the performance of the 6 years of Modi, an objective analysis will show that his 6 years have been a series of economic and social disasters for India. Indeed, an objective comparison of the worst period of the Manmohan Singh period with the best period of the Modi period on 15 economic indicators shows that MMS has outperfomed Modi on 11 of the 15 indicators, see ref: bit.ly/3hXwpVh
India is a geographical and administrative construct created by the British out of some 600 odd kingdoms. And some of the regions that make up modern India do not wish to remain together as has been the case in Punjab during the Khalistan struggles, Kashmir, North East etc. etc. Nation-building is therefore a never ending task for any government in Delhi. And on that count, Modi’s Hindutva influenced idea of India as a country primarily for Hindus weakens the already fragile bonds that hold the country.
Modi has been a disaster on almost all fronts :
– he has wrecked the relatively well functioning economy he was bequeathed;
– He has weakened the bonds that hold India together and been a source of polarisation
– He has been a flop on the foreign affairs front and cuts a pathetic figure in many world fora – barring the staged managed tamashas such as “Howdy Modi” and other stunts.
But as you wisely point out, the cult does not vote on the basis of competence but solely on charisma. The charisma that has been deftly cultivated by PR firms.
And the dumbass who has prepared this article will never ever be remembered because you my country fellow are nothing but getting more and more dumb day by day by being into partial Thoughts. Focus on the positive the world needs it ?
The author suffers from colossal self contradiction against her curtain raiser backdrop like :-
1. The welfare platform laid down by Modi — from providing rural housing to cooking gas connections, rural electricity, health insurance, the Aadhaar emphasis to weeding out implementation glitches in schemes, and the robust use of the Socio-Economic Caste Census to extend benefits to the poor have all been extremely popular, useful and sound policy steps.
:- 2. growing India-US ties as a key foreign policy achievement of the Modi government. The cross-border surgical strikes in 2016 and the Balakot air strikes in 2019 have also helped add to Modi’s muscle.
:- 3. Abrogation of Article 370 instead of age old continuance of the Jammu & Kashmir stalemate and scuffles kept enlivened since independence; Supreme Court (SC) holding the Muslim practice of Triple Talaq unconstitutional violating the fundamental right of Muslim women as it irrevocably ends marriage and is against the basic tenets of Quran; Long awaited (since 1950) judgement of SC on Ram Mandir issue
are some of the major strides of vision held by Modi which go to nothing but bold steps towards Nation Building only if someone could fathom with proper perspective.
History cannot manage to obfuscate these visionary contributions to nation–building as capturing massive mandate alone. Any anti incumbency so arisen due to splintered, incoherent corrupt and often scared opposition can never blame and make Modi responsible.
Against the 60 vs 6 years track record, one really and for that matter History also cannot accuse Modi ever of a leader devoid of Nation building by any stretch of imagination.
Whenever any journalist pens a critical piece on Modi, his supporter’s counter to such criticism is unfailingly blaming Congress/Nehru/Sonia/Rahul. Other country’s leaders are also criticised by their press or foreign press but they never resort to blaming their own predecessors. Putin gets lot of bad press but have you ever heard him criticise Stalin/Krushchev/Brezhnev/Gorbachev? When Mahinda Rajapakse was criticised did he resort to blaming Bandaranayike? By blaming everything on the past, Modi is paving the way for repudiation of all that was good in the past. This is dangerous. The only people who have repudiated their past completely are Muslims – look at what Pakistan is doing to their past. Complete negation of all past leads to inability to society to come to terms with one’s own shortcomings, retards ability to learn from mistakes and enables future generations to brush all mistakes under the carpet and such societies are doomed to keep repeating past follies as a result.
Modi supporters can continue to support him but the reason for supporting him has to be something positive. Continuing to support him just to deny Rahul Gandhi a chance to become PM is negative and leads to Modi taking the electorate for granted and working on his own agenda rather than working to genuinely improve the life of ordinary Indians.
IT LOOKS MODIJI IS VERY HARD TO DIGEST FOR PAID MEDIA,JOURNALISTS WHO ARE ADDICT TO GANDHI,NEHRU,CONGRESS AND JEALOUS ABOUT INDIA AND ITS DHARM. THEIR REAL SORROW IS THIS INDIA, WHO NEVER GO EVEN AGGRESSIVE ABOUT RELIGION, KNOWLEDGE OR ANY OTHER FIELD, WEAPON ,WAR ARE IMPOSSIBLE ACTIONS FROM INDIA, …….HOW CAN THIS COUNTRY GOES COMFORTABLY WITH OTHERS AND GOING TO BE PROVE ITS LEADERSHIP WITHOUT SWORD IN THE WORLD. …………….. IF IT IS MISTAKE OR SIN TO PREVENT OWN FROM DADAGIRI, CONVERSION,ETC. ,WHICH MODIJI IS DOING BOLDLY AND SERIOUSLY WE ALL INDIANS SUPPORT HIM SINCERELY.
IF WRITER OBSERVE INDIAN PEOPLE HE WILL NOTICE WHAT THEY NOTICE THROUGH MODIJI’S BODY LANGUAGE . FOR THIS EXPERIENCE YOU MUST GET OUT OF ANTI MODI MISSION AND PAID JOURNALISM
History is not what beneficiary of departed dynasty s bought up journalists write day in day out. History is made and noted when people see changes that differentiate one type of regime from another type of regime. Keep in your mind, if there is space for holding truth– Modi s regime is not pro- -minority. Modi regime is not one that trembles from threats of terrorists from Jihadi countries. Modi regime is not that spends public fund for picnics on Aircraft carriers. Modi regime is not that every street, every government funded scheme is named after the name of one India occupying family. Many of the journalists keep on lament the introduction of GST by Modi Government. Have you and they talked to any professional Accountant in India– what they think of this game changing Legislation ? Modi Government has brought and maintained a sea change in the way funds for social welfare reach out to intended beneficiaries.
It is Modi government that is fighting presently on three fronts—1 With Covid-19 ,,, (2) with Chinese attempt to capture some more areas across the undefined LAC, as it was doing so during the regimes of Nehruvian Dynasty ,, (3) Meeting and valiantly facing the propaganda by a friendly party of Communist Party of China, whose one senior leader signed a friendship agreement in 2008 in Beijing and of coarse the propaganda by the journalists having loyalty towards regime ousted by the voters of India in 2014.
The majority of the people of India are with Modi and same will be reflected in next Parliamentary Elections. Congress party s attempt to win the electoral war with the help of mercenaries journalists is doomed for failure for all times to come.
History has been made , it cannot unfortunately or fortunately be re written with a pen ,Narendra Modi the only non Congress PM to win a thumping majority twice . With whom will history compare Modi with , Rahul Gandhi , Indira Gandhi’s socialism or Nehru’s 1962 War . If Modi is compared with AB Vajpayee , perhaps , we don’t know where the next four or nine years are going .
OMG,
I am yet to come across a very narrow version of opinion on Modi than this piece here. How can you even attribute the word vision to Ex PM Dr Manmohan Singh, and not for PM Narendra Modi? After all, he Dr was unable to reign in the corruption scandal that was happening in his own party. True that many policies were crafted, however effective implementation was never on of Dr’s achievements. How can you even not see that effective implementation as NOT-An-Achievement? Many companies, organizations with good ideas go bust because they cannot manage the organization effectively.
Modi has surely won that. See the Congress today under R Gandhi. An utter failure.
As for history, Manmohan singh will be seen in more positive light for he wasn’t the one who was effectively in control and had to take blame for the ills the Gandhi family has committed. As for Modi, the best is yet to come.
Yes if shekhar Gupta turns historian, the history written by him will be unkind to Modi. But Shekhar Gupta should also remember future generations will dub him as a traitor. Traitors will be called”ShekharGupta”as jaichand is called today.
History of Modi is not gng to be judged by pseudo secular, intellectual,five star living luteyns media alone but also by the average citizens of this great country. Did print ask rahul,sonia as to y the signed in secret MOU with CPC which even the then Prime Minister manmohan singh didn’t know. So don’t preach. Even today my daughter a journalist think of Shekar Gupta as her invisible Guru in journalism.
People like this author arent ashamed that they are so exposed to their naked vicious claims which are so blurr and founded only in their ugly dreams…who pays them for this vicious articles ? ISI ? Are they are agents for ISI or keep of some islamist jihadi ?
very biased article Congress ruled six decades appeasing minority against the principle of equality before law.eg article 30 of constitution advantage to muslims against Hindus for vote Bank .Modi correction for eqity and justice making Audhman Bharat largest ever health scheme covering 50 crores people below poverty line with no religious bias.
Author has no mind and views are against effort of Nation Biding by Modi Government. Pathetic criticizing abolishing of article 370.
सारी दुनिया जानती है, मोदी अपने देश, धर्म के प्रति कितने गंभीर रूप से एकनिष्ठ हैं. भारत और
हिंदू धर्म यह हिन्दुओं से ज्यादा दुसरे देश, धर्म वालो की चिंतन का विषय बन गया है. जो धर्म,देश किसी दुसरेपर किसिभी तरह का इर्षा, जलन, स्पर्धा , कोई भी हाथियार का उपयोग किये बिना सदियोंसे अपणी धूनमे शांतीसे चल रहा हैं. ऐसे देश धर्म का संरक्षण मोदीजी करते हैं ,तो क्या पाप करते हैं?
बडे बडे पॅकेट लेनेवाले मीडिया जो एक तो बिक चुके हैं या फिर जीन का मिशन ही भारत,हिंदू विरोधी हैं उन के सिवा सामान्य भारतीय को मोदीजी का विरोध सपनेमे भी नहीं हैं.
मोदीजी की कुंडली लिखने वलो, अगर बुद्धी हैं तो
पुरे देश की body language…देहबोली मोदीजी के प्रति सोचती हैं इस बात पर अभ्यास करो.
History will remember modi.His impact on Indian society will be their.Whatever steps he has taken will have good effects after a decade .A new way looking india will be develop
So well articulated , easy to glorify small acts of positive movements which blind followers of modi get thrilled about.
When comes to take tactical and strong decision he falls back on votes rather than benefit to economy or country .
Now hiding behind to cover his face to save from embarrassment of China. Any surgical strikes you are thinking – we know the answer … clown of modern india
Our history is written by fake Historians like Romila and that dumb white trash Audrey Truschke or whatever her name was I don’t care. We all know how murderers and invaders have been glorified in our history books as some sort of saviours. Remember one thing the Ram Temple will be here for thousands of years and every devotee who is going to set his or her door in that temple will remember his name. So left libtard sickular historians can g2h people take memes more seriously than words from the likes of Arundhati Shasanakal Roy who thinks Rafael is an aircraft carrier or some fake imported white trash like Audrey
Modi continues to be the most popular political leader in contemporary India simply because other political parties are crowded with morons masquerading as leaders. Can there be a better explanation?
leftists, Naxalites, Muslims, Christians, and anti-nationals will keep crying,but Hindus and Nationalistic Indians will always remember Modi and shaw for their service towards Hindus, Leftists journalists like you will be thrown in to the garbage in History.
Looks like a paid article by a Modi hater…Modi will be remembered the PM who finally made Kashmir an integral part of India…he will be remembred that for ensuring Indians finally have their dignitiy retored in Ayodhrya and he will be rememebred for ensuring justice for the suffering religious minoroty refugees from neighboring Islamic hellholes.
Do you think history is only written by Shekhar,, Ruhi, Shivam, Jyothi, Rana Ayyub, Arundhati Roy, NDTV, Rajdeep Sardesai, Barkha Dutt, Siddharth Varadarajan, Ramachandra Guha.. ? These will be sidelined in history and Modi will become a Legend.
Completely impossible. Modi will always go down in history as a persona non grata. Are the people writing about him, his ideological moorings and his partisanship fools? Do they not have the vision to see what has happened and what can happen under this dictatorial leadership? You have mentioned several prominent names who have got the weight of decades of reportage behind them. Even if their analysis has faltered on a couple of occasions, the very fact that they have emerged as the true torchbearers of Indian Democracy without giving in to any threats makes it imperative to listen to them and gain an understanding of what we stand to lose because of the shenanigans of the present dispensation.
History is also written by Navika kumar, Rahul shivshankar, Rahul kanwal, Anand Narasimhan, Arnab Gosamy …
Check your mind. It is closed. In such a state do not comment ” ANONYMOUS”
“.. Modi will become a Legend. ..”
With a pogrom under his belt and the lives of thousands of innocent Muslims killed and women raped during his watch, yes, he sure will become a legend. But then, so were Adolf, Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Idi Amin …
That’s not how history works in the modern era. The Nazis also felt the same thing as you when they said the glory of Hitler & the Third Reich will be sung for a 1000 years…Well…
Aap ne kitne achhe journalists ke naam ginva diye …
At any case Modi is not working to make a history. U r admit ing that he is sailing smooth. This itself is history. He is serving nation in best possible manner. People already know he is cleaned heart, having no self interest. Neither he cares nor his supporters care for history. U start writing for remote controlled PM. Suitable job for u.
Only one thing that fate helped him is that the opposition today is led by an outright idiot and joker called Rahul Gandhi who knows nothing about anything.If that joker continues as main opposition leader dont be surprised if Modi Modi wins more than 400 Lok Sabha seats in 2024.
Ha ha ha ha ha….keep dreaming.
Spot on.
No, the history would also be written by paid writers, licking boots of their paymasters, but people would reject their writings, as they are doing right now, and accept as TRUE the history written by the writers you have mentioned in your stupid comment.
well said.
A bad legend. The failed PM! The worst PM in history!
Why bring Arundhati Roy into this list?
the writer is heavily prejudiced and does not understand economics.
True…. These fake journalists have looted India with the help of khangress. Khangressis and their allies are nothing but traitors of this country. Hindus, Sikhs have always suffered in this country due to khangress’ partition politics. Now these traitors won’t be back ever in future to power.
All depends on the kind of historians. With abolishing Article 370 and CAA he will be remembered as a leader who prevented India s collapse at the hands of tukde tukde gang
True, India was collapsing for 70+ years under tukde tukde gang. Now it completed the transition. It is not due to Modi, rather it is because of 70+ years of tukde tukde gang
Pandit, engage your Brahmin brain and observe that events have shown that it is China that is planning tukde tukde for India and Modi is hand in glove with Xi. Modi got some investment in Gujarat, but agreed to cede land in return.
Day dreaming
if at all he will at least be remembered to make India as “Republic of India” instead of “Republic of Lyutens”.
We are fighting for the status quo at ladakh. Rolling back CPEC in gilgit-baltistan looks like a formidable challenge militarily. Republic includes these regions. Now walking the talk will decide his name in history. Otherwise other than bluster, he is no better or even weaker than his predecessor. Remember MMS managed diplomatically similar stand-offs. Not losing a soldier and not losing an inch is derided as “khaleje me dum nahi”. Today we are hailing NM for taking on the bull. Actually 45 days of diplomacy didn’t yeild result and that’s when forcible eviction was tried and resulted in bloodshed. Even after this, we are trying negotiations.
The key issue is SoniaG, RahulG & Congress have compromised national security in 2007/2008 with their secretive MoU with CCP of China.
Congress is China’s virus in India.
Mr Hemant Kapoor: How did you find out about this ” 2007/2008 with their secretive MoU”? Were you present when the MoU was being signed? Had any informants there ? Or did you pick up this nonsense from your itchy groined, lathi wielding friends at the shaka?
The extreme views of the author doesn’t come as a surprise ..we have to see who is heading the Print – Shekhar Gupta whose anti MODI bias shows up in his articles..that seems to be the unstated policy of the Print.. The Author says Modi has been a foreign policy disaster ..the citizens know that Modi’s foreign policy is way better than maun Mohan singh who eternal shame will be Sharm al sheikh and his deafening silence on chinese Incursions in Ladakh during UPA2..
There’s a difference between a reporting article and an opinion piece. This is an opinion piece….”Views are personal”.
The author forgot one very important thing. In his package, the govt liberalised India’s agriculture for which we’ll see huge returns in the long run. FM also declared an end tp govt monopolies. That will lead to better policy making and creation of new regulators in different sectors. This is no way smaller than 1991 moment indee Narsimha Rao. While some points in the article are true, the author is not being fair. PM will also be remembered as someone whp used DBT tp such an extent and may be even have a basic income scheme with almost no leakages.
Remember

Well of course history won’t be kind to Modi. Not as long as you write it.

Well he is here for atleast 6 more years upto 2025-26. That’s a long long time. And a lot will happen for sure.

Your deep seated hatred for Modiji is quite clear. It is surprising that you could not find any single good in Modiji.

Indira Gandhi too did a lot of damage and where were you hiding ? Rajiv Gandhi got hundreds of our sainiks ki lord in LTTE war which was not our war. All of them have millions of statues all over India. Millions of buildings and institutions are named after them. Beware. History will not be kind to people like you. You will ranked with Jaichand Rathod, Mir Jaffer and Mir Kasim.
?
Worry more about your own history in the future.
Same old rhetoric, Demo , GST , article 370 CÀA .. I think we common people have better sense than poor and biased author.. Article not worth reading .. Sign off
It is a concise analysis. A few conclusions seem far-fetched. While no one contests Modi’s vote-catching ability, figures tell the proper story. The Bjp vote share at about 35% is the lowest for any majority government, just better than its own 2014 tally of 32%. This actually means that two thirds of the population have rejected them. Vaste swathes of region, the entire south of Vindhyas has almost entirely kept away from them just as the North East and North West. The Bjp is essentially a cow belt party consisting of four Bimaru States plus Gujarat. Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. All, undeveloped with maximum illiteracy. It is easy to play on the emotions of this region. The already existing anti Muslim feelings here can be easily incited by the Bjp to win elections on religion, not performance. Hence Ram Mandir is an important issue over here. Less to hail Prabhu Ram and more to rile Rahim. Polarise voters and win. Hence a Yogi with Modi to encash vulnerabilities of history.
” Bjp is essentially a cow belt party consisting of four Bimaru States plus Gujarat. Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. All, undeveloped with maximum illiteracy”
Excellent observation Mr Rajkamal Srivastava !
The vagaries of the first-past-the-post electoral system that India has inherited from the British results in flawed outcomes whereby one need not win the popular vote to get elected to power. Indeed, even when more than 60% of the population rejects a party, the party can nonetheless be voted to power !
But getting back to the performance of the 6 years of Modi, an objective analysis will show that his 6 years have been a series of economic and social disasters for India. Indeed, an objective comparison of the worst period of the Manmohan Singh period with the best period of the Modi period on 15 economic indicators shows that MMS has outperfomed Modi on 11 of the 15 indicators, see ref: bit.ly/3hXwpVh
India is a geographical and administrative construct created by the British out of some 600 odd kingdoms. And some of the regions that make up modern India do not wish to remain together as has been the case in Punjab during the Khalistan struggles, Kashmir, North East etc. etc. Nation-building is therefore a never ending task for any government in Delhi. And on that count, Modi’s Hindutva influenced idea of India as a country primarily for Hindus weakens the already fragile bonds that hold the country.
Modi has been a disaster on almost all fronts :
– he has wrecked the relatively well functioning economy he was bequeathed;
– He has weakened the bonds that hold India together and been a source of polarisation
– He has been a flop on the foreign affairs front and cuts a pathetic figure in many world fora – barring the staged managed tamashas such as “Howdy Modi” and other stunts.
But as you wisely point out, the cult does not vote on the basis of competence but solely on charisma. The charisma that has been deftly cultivated by PR firms.
And the dumbass who has prepared this article will never ever be remembered because you my country fellow are nothing but getting more and more dumb day by day by being into partial Thoughts. Focus on the positive the world needs it ?
The author suffers from colossal self contradiction against her curtain raiser backdrop like :-
1. The welfare platform laid down by Modi — from providing rural housing to cooking gas connections, rural electricity, health insurance, the Aadhaar emphasis to weeding out implementation glitches in schemes, and the robust use of the Socio-Economic Caste Census to extend benefits to the poor have all been extremely popular, useful and sound policy steps.
:- 2. growing India-US ties as a key foreign policy achievement of the Modi government. The cross-border surgical strikes in 2016 and the Balakot air strikes in 2019 have also helped add to Modi’s muscle.
:- 3. Abrogation of Article 370 instead of age old continuance of the Jammu & Kashmir stalemate and scuffles kept enlivened since independence; Supreme Court (SC) holding the Muslim practice of Triple Talaq unconstitutional violating the fundamental right of Muslim women as it irrevocably ends marriage and is against the basic tenets of Quran; Long awaited (since 1950) judgement of SC on Ram Mandir issue
are some of the major strides of vision held by Modi which go to nothing but bold steps towards Nation Building only if someone could fathom with proper perspective.
History cannot manage to obfuscate these visionary contributions to nation–building as capturing massive mandate alone. Any anti incumbency so arisen due to splintered, incoherent corrupt and often scared opposition can never blame and make Modi responsible.
Against the 60 vs 6 years track record, one really and for that matter History also cannot accuse Modi ever of a leader devoid of Nation building by any stretch of imagination.
Whenever any journalist pens a critical piece on Modi, his supporter’s counter to such criticism is unfailingly blaming Congress/Nehru/Sonia/Rahul. Other country’s leaders are also criticised by their press or foreign press but they never resort to blaming their own predecessors. Putin gets lot of bad press but have you ever heard him criticise Stalin/Krushchev/Brezhnev/Gorbachev? When Mahinda Rajapakse was criticised did he resort to blaming Bandaranayike? By blaming everything on the past, Modi is paving the way for repudiation of all that was good in the past. This is dangerous. The only people who have repudiated their past completely are Muslims – look at what Pakistan is doing to their past. Complete negation of all past leads to inability to society to come to terms with one’s own shortcomings, retards ability to learn from mistakes and enables future generations to brush all mistakes under the carpet and such societies are doomed to keep repeating past follies as a result.
Modi supporters can continue to support him but the reason for supporting him has to be something positive. Continuing to support him just to deny Rahul Gandhi a chance to become PM is negative and leads to Modi taking the electorate for granted and working on his own agenda rather than working to genuinely improve the life of ordinary Indians.
IT LOOKS MODIJI IS VERY HARD TO DIGEST FOR PAID MEDIA,JOURNALISTS WHO ARE ADDICT TO GANDHI,NEHRU,CONGRESS AND JEALOUS ABOUT INDIA AND ITS DHARM. THEIR REAL SORROW IS THIS INDIA, WHO NEVER GO EVEN AGGRESSIVE ABOUT RELIGION, KNOWLEDGE OR ANY OTHER FIELD, WEAPON ,WAR ARE IMPOSSIBLE ACTIONS FROM INDIA, …….HOW CAN THIS COUNTRY GOES COMFORTABLY WITH OTHERS AND GOING TO BE PROVE ITS LEADERSHIP WITHOUT SWORD IN THE WORLD. …………….. IF IT IS MISTAKE OR SIN TO PREVENT OWN FROM DADAGIRI, CONVERSION,ETC. ,WHICH MODIJI IS DOING BOLDLY AND SERIOUSLY WE ALL INDIANS SUPPORT HIM SINCERELY.
IF WRITER OBSERVE INDIAN PEOPLE HE WILL NOTICE WHAT THEY NOTICE THROUGH MODIJI’S BODY LANGUAGE . FOR THIS EXPERIENCE YOU MUST GET OUT OF ANTI MODI MISSION AND PAID JOURNALISM
History is not what beneficiary of departed dynasty s bought up journalists write day in day out. History is made and noted when people see changes that differentiate one type of regime from another type of regime. Keep in your mind, if there is space for holding truth– Modi s regime is not pro- -minority. Modi regime is not one that trembles from threats of terrorists from Jihadi countries. Modi regime is not that spends public fund for picnics on Aircraft carriers. Modi regime is not that every street, every government funded scheme is named after the name of one India occupying family. Many of the journalists keep on lament the introduction of GST by Modi Government. Have you and they talked to any professional Accountant in India– what they think of this game changing Legislation ? Modi Government has brought and maintained a sea change in the way funds for social welfare reach out to intended beneficiaries.
It is Modi government that is fighting presently on three fronts—1 With Covid-19 ,,, (2) with Chinese attempt to capture some more areas across the undefined LAC, as it was doing so during the regimes of Nehruvian Dynasty ,, (3) Meeting and valiantly facing the propaganda by a friendly party of Communist Party of China, whose one senior leader signed a friendship agreement in 2008 in Beijing and of coarse the propaganda by the journalists having loyalty towards regime ousted by the voters of India in 2014.
The majority of the people of India are with Modi and same will be reflected in next Parliamentary Elections. Congress party s attempt to win the electoral war with the help of mercenaries journalists is doomed for failure for all times to come.
History has been made , it cannot unfortunately or fortunately be re written with a pen ,Narendra Modi the only non Congress PM to win a thumping majority twice . With whom will history compare Modi with , Rahul Gandhi , Indira Gandhi’s socialism or Nehru’s 1962 War . If Modi is compared with AB Vajpayee , perhaps , we don’t know where the next four or nine years are going .
OMG,
I am yet to come across a very narrow version of opinion on Modi than this piece here. How can you even attribute the word vision to Ex PM Dr Manmohan Singh, and not for PM Narendra Modi? After all, he Dr was unable to reign in the corruption scandal that was happening in his own party. True that many policies were crafted, however effective implementation was never on of Dr’s achievements. How can you even not see that effective implementation as NOT-An-Achievement? Many companies, organizations with good ideas go bust because they cannot manage the organization effectively.
Modi has surely won that. See the Congress today under R Gandhi. An utter failure.
As for history, Manmohan singh will be seen in more positive light for he wasn’t the one who was effectively in control and had to take blame for the ills the Gandhi family has committed. As for Modi, the best is yet to come.
Yes if shekhar Gupta turns historian, the history written by him will be unkind to Modi. But Shekhar Gupta should also remember future generations will dub him as a traitor. Traitors will be called”ShekharGupta”as jaichand is called today.
History of Modi is not gng to be judged by pseudo secular, intellectual,five star living luteyns media alone but also by the average citizens of this great country. Did print ask rahul,sonia as to y the signed in secret MOU with CPC which even the then Prime Minister manmohan singh didn’t know. So don’t preach. Even today my daughter a journalist think of Shekar Gupta as her invisible Guru in journalism.
People like this author arent ashamed that they are so exposed to their naked vicious claims which are so blurr and founded only in their ugly dreams…who pays them for this vicious articles ? ISI ? Are they are agents for ISI or keep of some islamist jihadi ?
very biased article Congress ruled six decades appeasing minority against the principle of equality before law.eg article 30 of constitution advantage to muslims against Hindus for vote Bank .Modi correction for eqity and justice making Audhman Bharat largest ever health scheme covering 50 crores people below poverty line with no religious bias.
Author has no mind and views are against effort of Nation Biding by Modi Government. Pathetic criticizing abolishing of article 370.
सारी दुनिया जानती है, मोदी अपने देश, धर्म के प्रति कितने गंभीर रूप से एकनिष्ठ हैं. भारत और
हिंदू धर्म यह हिन्दुओं से ज्यादा दुसरे देश, धर्म वालो की चिंतन का विषय बन गया है. जो धर्म,देश किसी दुसरेपर किसिभी तरह का इर्षा, जलन, स्पर्धा , कोई भी हाथियार का उपयोग किये बिना सदियोंसे अपणी धूनमे शांतीसे चल रहा हैं. ऐसे देश धर्म का संरक्षण मोदीजी करते हैं ,तो क्या पाप करते हैं?
बडे बडे पॅकेट लेनेवाले मीडिया जो एक तो बिक चुके हैं या फिर जीन का मिशन ही भारत,हिंदू विरोधी हैं उन के सिवा सामान्य भारतीय को मोदीजी का विरोध सपनेमे भी नहीं हैं.
मोदीजी की कुंडली लिखने वलो, अगर बुद्धी हैं तो
पुरे देश की body language…देहबोली मोदीजी के प्रति सोचती हैं इस बात पर अभ्यास करो.
History will remember modi.His impact on Indian society will be their.Whatever steps he has taken will have good effects after a decade .A new way looking india will be develop
So well articulated , easy to glorify small acts of positive movements which blind followers of modi get thrilled about.
When comes to take tactical and strong decision he falls back on votes rather than benefit to economy or country .
Now hiding behind to cover his face to save from embarrassment of China. Any surgical strikes you are thinking – we know the answer … clown of modern india
Our history is written by fake Historians like Romila and that dumb white trash Audrey Truschke or whatever her name was I don’t care. We all know how murderers and invaders have been glorified in our history books as some sort of saviours. Remember one thing the Ram Temple will be here for thousands of years and every devotee who is going to set his or her door in that temple will remember his name. So left libtard sickular historians can g2h people take memes more seriously than words from the likes of Arundhati Shasanakal Roy who thinks Rafael is an aircraft carrier or some fake imported white trash like Audrey
Modi continues to be the most popular political leader in contemporary India simply because other political parties are crowded with morons masquerading as leaders. Can there be a better explanation?
leftists, Naxalites, Muslims, Christians, and anti-nationals will keep crying,but Hindus and Nationalistic Indians will always remember Modi and shaw for their service towards Hindus, Leftists journalists like you will be thrown in to the garbage in History.
So you are proud Hindus lost Indian land and Modi purred like a pussy ? You suffer from an incurable inferiority complex.
Extremely shallow article which reflects personal bias rather than factual data. Harping on just two points of gst and demonetization.
The economy is yet to recover from these two!
Looks like a paid article by a Modi hater…Modi will be remembered the PM who finally made Kashmir an integral part of India…he will be remembred that for ensuring Indians finally have their dignitiy retored in Ayodhrya and he will be rememebred for ensuring justice for the suffering religious minoroty refugees from neighboring Islamic hellholes.
Do you think history is only written by Shekhar,, Ruhi, Shivam, Jyothi, Rana Ayyub, Arundhati Roy, NDTV, Rajdeep Sardesai, Barkha Dutt, Siddharth Varadarajan, Ramachandra Guha.. ? These will be sidelined in history and Modi will become a Legend.
Completely impossible. Modi will always go down in history as a persona non grata. Are the people writing about him, his ideological moorings and his partisanship fools? Do they not have the vision to see what has happened and what can happen under this dictatorial leadership? You have mentioned several prominent names who have got the weight of decades of reportage behind them. Even if their analysis has faltered on a couple of occasions, the very fact that they have emerged as the true torchbearers of Indian Democracy without giving in to any threats makes it imperative to listen to them and gain an understanding of what we stand to lose because of the shenanigans of the present dispensation.
History is also written by Navika kumar, Rahul shivshankar, Rahul kanwal, Anand Narasimhan, Arnab Gosamy …
Check your mind. It is closed. In such a state do not comment ” ANONYMOUS”
“.. Modi will become a Legend. ..”
With a pogrom under his belt and the lives of thousands of innocent Muslims killed and women raped during his watch, yes, he sure will become a legend. But then, so were Adolf, Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Idi Amin …
That’s not how history works in the modern era. The Nazis also felt the same thing as you when they said the glory of Hitler & the Third Reich will be sung for a 1000 years…Well…
Aap ne kitne achhe journalists ke naam ginva diye …
At any case Modi is not working to make a history. U r admit ing that he is sailing smooth. This itself is history. He is serving nation in best possible manner. People already know he is cleaned heart, having no self interest. Neither he cares nor his supporters care for history. U start writing for remote controlled PM. Suitable job for u.
Only one thing that fate helped him is that the opposition today is led by an outright idiot and joker called Rahul Gandhi who knows nothing about anything.If that joker continues as main opposition leader dont be surprised if Modi Modi wins more than 400 Lok Sabha seats in 2024.
Ha ha ha ha ha….keep dreaming.
Spot on.
No, the history would also be written by paid writers, licking boots of their paymasters, but people would reject their writings, as they are doing right now, and accept as TRUE the history written by the writers you have mentioned in your stupid comment.
well said.
A bad legend. The failed PM! The worst PM in history!
Why bring Arundhati Roy into this list?
the writer is heavily prejudiced and does not understand economics.
True…. These fake journalists have looted India with the help of khangress. Khangressis and their allies are nothing but traitors of this country. Hindus, Sikhs have always suffered in this country due to khangress’ partition politics. Now these traitors won’t be back ever in future to power.
All depends on the kind of historians. With abolishing Article 370 and CAA he will be remembered as a leader who prevented India s collapse at the hands of tukde tukde gang
True, India was collapsing for 70+ years under tukde tukde gang. Now it completed the transition. It is not due to Modi, rather it is because of 70+ years of tukde tukde gang
Pandit, engage your Brahmin brain and observe that events have shown that it is China that is planning tukde tukde for India and Modi is hand in glove with Xi. Modi got some investment in Gujarat, but agreed to cede land in return.
Day dreaming
if at all he will at least be remembered to make India as “Republic of India” instead of “Republic of Lyutens”.
We are fighting for the status quo at ladakh. Rolling back CPEC in gilgit-baltistan looks like a formidable challenge militarily. Republic includes these regions. Now walking the talk will decide his name in history. Otherwise other than bluster, he is no better or even weaker than his predecessor. Remember MMS managed diplomatically similar stand-offs. Not losing a soldier and not losing an inch is derided as “khaleje me dum nahi”. Today we are hailing NM for taking on the bull. Actually 45 days of diplomacy didn’t yeild result and that’s when forcible eviction was tried and resulted in bloodshed. Even after this, we are trying negotiations.
The key issue is SoniaG, RahulG & Congress have compromised national security in 2007/2008 with their secretive MoU with CCP of China.
Congress is China’s virus in India.
Mr Hemant Kapoor: How did you find out about this ” 2007/2008 with their secretive MoU”? Were you present when the MoU was being signed? Had any informants there ? Or did you pick up this nonsense from your itchy groined, lathi wielding friends at the shaka?
The extreme views of the author doesn’t come as a surprise ..we have to see who is heading the Print – Shekhar Gupta whose anti MODI bias shows up in his articles..that seems to be the unstated policy of the Print.. The Author says Modi has been a foreign policy disaster ..the citizens know that Modi’s foreign policy is way better than maun Mohan singh who eternal shame will be Sharm al sheikh and his deafening silence on chinese Incursions in Ladakh during UPA2..
Very well said. It’s quite difficult to believe media any more.
What a shame.
This is simply bull shit journalism
It is often better to sell body than soul
There’s a difference between a reporting article and an opinion piece. This is an opinion piece….”Views are personal”.
The author forgot one very important thing. In his package, the govt liberalised India’s agriculture for which we’ll see huge returns in the long run. FM also declared an end tp govt monopolies. That will lead to better policy making and creation of new regulators in different sectors. This is no way smaller than 1991 moment indee Narsimha Rao. While some points in the article are true, the author is not being fair. PM will also be remembered as someone whp used DBT tp such an extent and may be even have a basic income scheme with almost no leakages.
History will not be kind to him. Nor to the rabble rouser voter citizens he created. Amen
Remember
