Economy not out of danger zone as inflation up, IIP down - The Economic Times

Good speech by Modi

The level of stupidity on display by George Galloway in this video is mind boggling:

Claiming that Hindus are using the Swasitika because they are supporters of Hitler!

@Star Wars @Bang Galore @ranjeet

This just undermines the entire premise of his (and many others') protests.

When will he start spending time in India than foreign trips , he is no different from manmohan who also was always on foreign trip

Says it all:

I honestly don't understand all those who keep criticising him for making such foreign trips, he is hardly doing it for pleasure. He intentionally runs a very tight schedule so as to cover as much ground as possible when abroad. Promoting India's rise and attracting investment need to be done and there is clearly tangible result already from his foreign tours (unprecedented FDI).

And this is the 21st century, he has access to satellites communications and is able to run most day to day affairs anywhere in the world.


Anyone who criticises him for being abroad is, in my opinion, stupid.

At least who all were there at protest got a bit of sun in this cold weather. This is what I was talking about When we were discussing why Modi didn't visited UK earlier. Although he did take a bit of gamble planning it right after bihar elections where he assumed his party will win but after the loss, one can see that glow on his face is not there. He needs to take couple of days off after this trip he doesn't look 100%.

As far as his foreign trips are concerned it's just Congress trying to divert attention from what Modi can bring back from his trips.

I don't know the Bihar result has contributed to his apparent lack of "glow" but this entire trip definitely seems to be a bit of a damp squid when compared to most of his others for a number of reasons. I would say that the amount of negativity surrounding his visit is largely to blame but this is further exacerbated by the luke warm Indo-UK ties as a whole. Modi's visits to the US, France and Japan all had clear strategic implications, the visit to the UK seems to be a bit "meh"- a formality, a continuing of established ties but nothing groundbreaking or historic.

He invested lot of time and energy in Bihar, plus after the loss anti modi brigade has it's tail up and they pumped in more efforts in their protest. Plus back home here media channels are debating over the 3 questions asked by the british press to modi about 'growing intolerance', 'visa ban post 2002' and 'protests against his visit' not over what will be the outcome of this visit.

In my opinion this is simply reflective of the fact that this visit is significantly lacking anything of real substance. There was extensive foreboding of similar protests when Modi visited the US and an even more compelling angle regarding the visa ban considering the aggressive stance the US had taken on this but this was entirely overshadowed once he touched down. After that there was a lot for these insatiable news sites to discuss in terms of take aways from the trip. That this UK visit has almost nothing worth discussing means they have to fill the airtime with these distractions to a larger degree.

Lots of interesting articles are coming up in Guardian.

Typical opposition + Pak protests. I think Pak will spend all their aid money in funding anti India protests around the world and on twitter.
Congis on the other hand will run out of comparisons by the 5th year, they've already gone ISIS, Hitler,Taliban...not much left

Pls. Lets not blame Pakistan here. The biggest Indian haters are ... Indians.

That's the fourth (or so) highly evocative article that Guardian has run on Modi's trip to the UK in the past week, not even Xi got this much hate form them (but then the Chiense are very good at cracking down on dissent).
