    2023 G20 Summit, New Delhi, India

    Fair points, and i agree that india is far from cemented on its path out of backwardness and needs at least another 10-15 years under strong and firm leadership (so at least a generation grows up with a progress mindset in a country that gets things done) but I don’t think either Yogi or...

    2023 G20 Summit, New Delhi, India

    I don’t buy the comparisons with Modi, Modi had a lot of international expertise and experience even as CM, he would visit all over the world to get business for his state Listen to Jaishanker talking about Modi’s visit to China as a CM when Jairshanker was the ambassador there at the time...

    Neither are of Modi’s stature and frankly neither are worthy statesmen. CM is one thing, PM representing india on the global stages is another thing entirely

    It’s open to interpretation but I don’t think it’s about celebrity but political instinct, once he no longer has a need to do so I believe he’ll be gone from public life entirely. It’s not like he is hosting parties or grovelling to the media elites. His whole life has been about service and...

    A great combination of a good politician and an excellent administrator. It’s almost unheard of in politics anywhere to have that blend, Modi is unique in this regard. Any successor will be a step backwards in this regard that’s for sure. You’ll get the Mamata, Mayawati etc big mouths or you’ll...

    Rishi’s faith has never caught on as an issue in the U.K. he gets a lot more attacks for his wealth, wife, policies etc. it’s commendable that he and and his wife never seem to have shied away from embracing their culture, it would’ve been very easy to downplay it but Rishi is happy to talk...

    Modi will abide by his principles and retire at 75, which I believe will be 2026. it’s looking like Shah is lined up as a replacement which is definitely a downgrade. Modi was a once in a century leader, there won’t be any to step into his shoes once he’s gone.

    2023 G20 Summit, New Delhi, India

    There’s definitely something to this. Despite the media onslaught in the public there’s not a huge interest in unconditional support for a long drawn out conflict that bleeds the west dry especially not with the downturn in quality of life in the west. As 2024 US elections heat up its likely to...

    2023 G20 Summit, New Delhi, India

    You won’t find more pathetic people next to Pakistanis than Afro-centrists. They think they are special and are uniquely owed something as if every country on earth has at some point not been colonised or colonisers. Indians sometimes indulge in this similar woe but rarely to the extent where...
