narendra modi

Finally, The Atlantic gives a comprehensive coverage - best yet - on what this New Face of India could be leading India towards.

Gujarat's Chief Minister Narendra Modi's sustained and increasing prominence in Indian polity says a lot about the complexities of a confused nation of over billion people amid both high economic growth and ethno-religious fundamentalism.

Unfortunately for India, Hindu fundamentalism looks all set to win a major share of influence in upcoming general elections, and, Narendra Modi might just be on his way to Delhi.

It is both a tricky and very risky proposition given the instability in neighboring Pakistan on one hand and and on the other a deep hatred of Muslims nurtured and institutionalized by Modi and co who remain unapologetic on the Muslim massacre of 2002 in Gujarat.

'Indira Gandhi-meeting-Hitler' is an interesting way to think.
