Scholars from American universities informed some municipal councillors in Delhi that a newspaper would report on their performance just before elections. This is what happened.
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.
Aren’t you worried that the country’s future totally depends on these ‘If Modi is doing it, it must be right.’ voters? i. e. “Modi bharose” voters? When you are looking for an expert advice, you would naturally look for the best expert in the field. For instance, if you are to undergo a surgery, you would look for the best surgeon. But then when it comes to a single most important matter, i. e. the future of the country, you go to the most ignorant mass of “Ram bharose” voters! What is the reason and logic behind this? Years ago I had heard a joke that a country like India can’t exist without the mercy of God, India proves that the God exists!
Most people do not understand the importance of time. When the time is right for your ideas, you are a genius. When the time isn’t right, you can have the most brilliant of ideas but still be called an idiot/maverick/not in tune with reality/infantile/inconsistent/mentally unstable/intellectually lazy for those ideas. Presently the time is right for Modi’s ideas – hence others who oppose him look inadequate – and people like Kejriwal and Mayawati support him in the hope that some of Modi’s support rubs off on them too.
India can be realistically compared to only 2 countries – China and USA. Chinese people have no choice in selecting their govt, so no comments there. But the Americans, who are further along on their journey as a democracy, have a substantial movement called post-modernism which looks to address the gap in the wealth between the super-rich and the rest of us ordinary folks. So the super-rich have got together with the white supremacists and have the Republican party representing them while the intelligentsia, working class and minorities are represented by the Democrats. Right now the BJP occupies the pole position, but their super-rich friends will lose support as economic misery starts biting the working class and the already substantial gap in India between the super-rich and the rest keeps growing. And they are not even looking for the minority votes. So whichever politician will represent the post-modern voice in the coming years will be able to seriously challenge the right-wing ecosystem. Right now it is only RG who is the single proponent of post-modernism in Indian politics. Before long there will be others as well. Shivam will have to wait.
Has the writer even contested school class monitor election? So easy to sit and pass judgements and opinions on others. Some ppl are Educated beyond intelligence
Where is the learning on how politicians lose trust? You cant have an article titled win or lose and talk about win 4 times and lose just once that too in the context of people dont lose trust which is essentially a win.
These half hearted insights from the Print is not expected, as there was no real insight.
An apt analysis. The Congress stalwarts should read.

The haters are throwing in the towel. Why? Why are you rats abandoning that leaky sinking ship called the Congress?
