The Modi government refers to the cabinet led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who became the 14th Prime Minister of India in May 2014. The government is headed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), a coalition of political parties.
Under Modi’s leadership, the government has focused on transformative initiatives aimed at economic growth, infrastructure development, and national security. Some of the landmark policies include the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), demonetisation of high-value currency notes in 2016, and the controversial revocation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, which ended the region’s special status. The Modi government has also emphasized initiatives such as ‘Make in India,’ ‘Digital India,’ ‘Skill India,’ and the ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’ (Clean India Mission).
While it has received praise for boosting economic growth and improving infrastructure, it has also faced significant criticism. Its handling of the anti-CAA protests, the 2020 farmers’ protests, and issues surrounding the delivery of data—such as the absence of a national census and the lack of transparency regarding COVID-19 death tolls—has sparked public debate. The government has also been criticized for its response to social issues, such as the Hathras rape case and the conflict in Manipur.
Despite these challenges, the Modi government, now in its third term, continues to maintain a dominant political presence, securing electoral victories at both state and national levels.
Wait and see how this friendship ends with China gobbling up Pakistan in 2 decades. Can’t Pakistan see it. Sri Lanka and Maldives have understood. Nepean may soon sense it. The fools in Pakistan are so obsessed about their enimity with India they can’t see far.
After Indo China bai bhai by Nehru only Chinese invasion took place.So what we have to infer.
The Print comes out with all weird and useless articles. Do you suggest that India shall be under the wings of China. One has to think of the national interest first. China is looking at her interest in CPEC. What Nehru has done and what Modi is doing is perfect as required by the time situation. Do you mean that the FOOLISH RAHUL GANDI shall be PM who is totally against the idea of India, who goes to meet Chinese people and ministers covertly, whose colleagues from party go to Pakistan and China and abuse India, Rahul Gandi goes to Singapore and says India is a country of rapists. It is high time The Print stops taking anti India stance or you shall close down.
So in a way you are suggesting for stronger ties with China, including more trade, which in turn means more deficit and thus a greater surplus to China for it’s see-peck projects, enabling pa(k)istan to fund it’s terror infra with the rest of it’s budget?
Can’t you see the irony here? China-Pak are a Nexus, and Pak is being rewarded for it’s dirty tricks towards India by SheJingPing.
Also, FYI we have had several clash with the PLA between 62 & doklam, so your theory of ” great China spares us militarily” seems a bit flawed. You maybe scared, others are not and anyways it’s not like you are posted on LAC either. So worry less and keep buying Chinese products.
China’s नाभि (its navel or Achilles’ heel) is its vast manufacturing capacity. While the purely market-driven, consumption oriented, credit-devouring Western economies cannot afford to let go of Chinese imports, and keep the cash flow moving into the Dragon’s mouth, India has not much to lose by putting a lid on Chinese imports. It just requires political will to actually turn the slogan ‘Make in India’ into reality that reduces the market potential for China. However, where’s the political will? Our politicians, especially the self-appointed Chowkidar (rather bouncer), will curse Nehru for 1962 and much more, but will not transform his bombastic slogans into reality. ‘Make in India’ and ‘Start-up India’ has given way to ‘Job less in India”.
I am not impressed at all. I go to China regularly for business. The Chinese would have done exact opposite of what you are advising here. Chinese businessmen tell me that you need to hold Pakistan by the throat and shake them a bit to let them know you better. China does this to the world on all issues.
Unfortunately a section of India is so enamoured by communism and Mao that they feel that Chinese capitalism is a product of Mao ! There is still no free media in CHina. No multi party rule. No religion.
but for these innocents… China is perfect !
We will never know the true sequence of events that led to the 73 day standoff over Dokalam. As far as foreign policy is concerned, it should always be about the national interest. Which government is in office at a particular point in time is largely incidental over the course of a troubled relationship that is more than half a century old. China is now in America’s league; it does not diminish us to acknowledge that fact and formulate our policies accordingly.
