Has anyone changed his opinion about Narendra Modi?

Former Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has changed his opinion about Narendra Modi.

This was 2014

Former Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has commended India, under the leadership of PM Modi, prioritizing its sovereign and economic interests while while also appealing for peace. Appreciating India's stand on Russia-Ukraine war, he said India has done ‘the right thing’. He also pointed out at the increased importance of foreign policy in domestic politics compared to his tenure as Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014. Singh, invited to a G20 dinner just a day before G-20 summit starts in New Delhi on 09 September 2023, further emphasized the significance of diplomacy without being overly influenced by partisan politics during India's G20 presidency.

Dr. Manmohan Singh said that the new world order has changed in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war. India has an important role in operating this system. He said that while appealing for peace between the two countries, India has done the right thing by putting its sovereign and economic interests first. He is more optimistic than worried about India's future. He said that India is now getting a lot of respect globally as a peaceful large democracy and a large growing economy with constitutional values built since independence. India stands at the cusp of a unique economic opportunity in the changing world order. As a peaceful democracy with a large market and abundant human and natural resources, India can become an economic powerhouse of the world in the coming decades with an emphasis on services, manufacturing and production.

Speaking on India's role in the global supply chain, he said that currently there is talk of de-globalization and new types of trade restrictions. These may disrupt existing orders, but also open up new opportunities for India in global supply chains.

This is 2023

In this way, this statement of a renowned economist, who was the Prime Minister of the country for a decade (2004-2014), becomes very important at a time when leaders of 20 powerful countries of the world start arriving in New Delhi to join the G-20 meet.

This means - Modi hai toh mumkin hai…

Now that highly ‘educated and economist’ ex-PM Dr. Manmohan Singh has changed his mind about PM Modi, will Indian leftist, communist and librandµs will change their mind about PM Modi? No, never. There is an old saying ‘once a communist is always a communist’.

Will farm leader Rakesh Tikait make an alliance with Congress?

Rakesh Tikait is a failed politician and hence he cannot join or make alliance with congress. He tried his luck in few elections but failed miserably in his home turf of Western UP Jat land. He is now a pawn of congress. Indira Gandhi created Bhindranwale in Punjab in late 1970s to counter political rival Akali Dal. Bhindranwale became radical terr0r!st over the period of time. During 1982 9th Asian Games in New Delhi, special security arrangements were made to prevent Khalistani propaganda and attack. Then came unfortunate peak of militancy in Punjab, event of ‘Operation Bluestar’ and subsequent assassination of the Army chief Vaidya and PM Indira Gandhi. Indira Gandhi also created LTTE (Liberation Tiger of Tamil Eelam) who were fighting a separate home land for Tamils in Sri Lanka. There were other Tamil group but they were mostly political like TELA (Tamil Eelam Liberation Army), EPRLF (Eelam People's Revolutionary Liberation Front), TLO (Tamil Liberation Organisation) etc. LTTE

What do you think about the US and India relations? Why did Narendra Modi visit us?

In 1990s, India and USA were at loggerheads diplomatically on most global issues. India often accused USA Secretary of state Madeleine Albright and others in 1990s that they openly takes Pakistan’s side. USA’s official statements appear to be drafted by Pakistan and always ignored India’s geo-political concerns. This is because Pakistan was a USA ally during cold war days and supported USA in Afghan war against Soviets. In early 1990s, India and the United States were two ‘estranged democracies’ trying to re-discover mutually after decades of mutual suspicion during cold war decades. After breakup of Soviet Union in 1991, India launched ‘look east policy’ for close co-operation with South East Asian (AEAN) countries and sole super power USA. Fast forward to recent Indian PM Modi’s June 2023 USA official visit joint statement on Pakistan. US and India on strongly condemned cross-border terr0rism and the use of terr0rist proxies and called on Pakistan (by taking name directly) to take im
