Members of these groups will hold a demonstration in front of Houston’s NRG stadium, where Modi & Trump will take part in the ‘Howdy, Modi!’ event Sunday.
India’s policymakers need to ensure that labourers, and milk and newspaper delivery workers, do not have to sacrifice food just to keep a roof over their heads.
In the latest budget, the FDI limit was increased to 100 percent, but most foreign companies are not buying such large stakes in the Indian insurance sector.
New Delhi: India’s air defence systems intercepted and destroyed 1,000 drones and missiles launched by Pakistan on 9 May during Op Sindoor, Prime Minister...
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
Aparna Pande, the title may read with one slight change, “Massive crowd at Howdy Modi event in US is a sign of thriving Indian ‘Patriotism’ overseas.” It easy to confuse patriotism and nationalism, because they once meant more or less the same thing. With the rise of fascism in Europe, nationalism had come to mean something different from patriotism, something fierce, something violent: less a love for your own country than a hatred of other countries and their people. Patriotism is animated by love, nationalism by hatred. For instance, islamic Pakistan is driven by a morbid fear and vicious hatred of a Kafir India. That’s Pakistan’s nationalism. To confuse one for the other is to pretend that hate is love and fear is courage. We did not see fear or hatred in that crowd of 50,000 cheering people. We saw love for their motherland and for the people of India, and wanting India and its people to thrive. It was pure PATRIOTISM!
Vast majority of NRIs in US are upper caste, they off coarse love BJP and Modi like their brothers and sisters back in India. One of the most under reported stories of Modi’s rise is rock solid support from core upper castes of India.
Hey indocon1111, Did you go about collecting NRI’s caste certificates to make that statement? Let me tell you what’s unreported: one of the most unreported stories is the demise of the idea that Pakistan represents muslim nationalism of the subcontinent, long time back. With the division of the muslims of the sub-continent into three units, it is no longer possible for Pakistan to claim muslim leadership. If at all, a country can make a claim, then it is India, which hosts the second largest population of muslims. It is India that needs to worry about the persecuted muslim minority sects in Pakistan. Maybe, somebody should explain that to Shivam ViJ. He’s going on about like that emperor wearing no clothes and there was no one to tell him!
It is proof of new imperial policy of using migrants generations for internal & external policy initiatives. It is already tested in few African countries where we have witnessed dual national as President & PM etc. So instead of fixing with Modi, just check the new phenomenon with little attention. Foreign money, Foreign political actors etc are at front and who is behind them in develop world? Trump who used bad language against migrants , the vulnerable community now praised Indian Americans , What it means? Misusing of Non residents against their parent countries is a new smart agenda. Even in Pakistan we have witnessed it in recent times. It is high time to think about it.
The Chinese yuan has been supporting the Pakistan’s dismal economy for sometime now. Do you think the Chinese take over of the port of Hambantota as an isolated event? The Chinese Kingdom has no boundaries. Emperor Xi is coming for the entire Pakistan. Pakistan had already ceded Aksai and its women to the Chinese. So, why not cede the entire nation? muslims are always on the winning side. Aamir Riaz will have no problem ditching al Lah to become an atheist comrade and sing the praises of CPC.
This is the reality indeed. Thank you for this write up. I wish these facts motivate our younger generation and help becoming a leader. All the best.
‘Trump and Modi in Texas, USA addressed 50,000 Indian crowd; what they achieved? Both had energized their own racial and religious extreme groups polarizing their population in to moderate and extreme divisions. Both have habit of talking about themselves and multiply hundreds of times their real achievements, both have been caught several times talking false statements without any fear or shame, both have misused their Constitutional position crossing their limits and the worst both have radicalized their extreme religious bases only for political gains. Really Trump is right now in hot water and coming closer to be impeached while Modi has no such threat; he with the support of RSS has sufficiently radicalized masses, he may continue another decade without any fear or shame.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Get back to the motherly arms of Hinduism. Unlike islam, Hinduism offers reincarnation, until you yourself get tired of that birth and death cycle! islam only offers 72 raisins and Christianity will guilt you and drain your life’s energy. Instead of complaining, pick up the Bhagavat Gita and start reading. You may learn the purpose of life!
Sir,
Manmohan Singh created affluent middle class in India.
And the same middle class migrated outside for greener pasture.
A period after prosperity is the period of blindness.
It creates awakening of your religious past, nationalist past and so on.
And You tend to get carried away with whatever is served to you, whatever is fed to you. You don’t try to delve too much in the initial phase, the first phase.
But after a certain decades, second phase begins and you become pragmatic. You realise of what wrong fed to you.
The middle class is going through the first phase and cursing the one whose policies made them rich(Congress) and became past conscious.
They have blindly became nationalists.
Europe too saw this period in 19th century.
Blind nationalism led to wars and in 20th century, they became calm.
The same will happen in India but pray that they don’t go for war and shift peacefully to second phase of being pragmatists.
Not Manmohan Singh but P.V. Narsimha Rao and A.B. Vajpayee are responsible for India’s economic prosperity post 1991. Manmohan Singh is by training a bureaucrat so he only followed orders, earlier those of PVNR and later those of Sonia Gandhi.
Massive crowd, Golly Nationalism, needing flood control!!!
