Deconstructing Modi Part 4 | Random Thoughts of a.
After saying that one should not use one pogram to justify another (even though that is a strawman if there ever was one), the author kind of brings them up both. But since. Now the way I see it, the fact that Dr. MMS is the prime-minister is because he is pliant, obeys orders, had a clean image (operative word: had), and has no personal agenda to push and no designs on Rahul Gandhis amanaat.. Lets not bother with a honest evaluation of his speech or message.

There seems to be a perception, especially among sections of the Western media, that if Mr. Narendra Modi does become the prime minister of India, it would reflect a loss of Indias soul. Indians, so. Would the US or UK tolerate such disrespect of their armed forces? The lesser said.. If they dont listen with an open mind to the good things that he has done, how will they be able to give intelligent and constructive criticism for the things that need to be improved?

Modi has none. He is the mukhauta ��� first of himself and then of the party. As the mask of the party, he has to send out sound bytes and signals that convey to an extent what the party wishes to project. As the mask of himself, he has.

Both were shelved. The BJP should quietly shelve Hindutva in the same way as Nehru shelved Gandhism and Narasimha Rao dispensed with socialism.
