India's bold new leader
By Fareed Zakaria
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also handled the international stage deftly. He wooed Japan and softly criticized China, then backed away and embraced Beijing — getting large investments from both countries. He is straightforwardly pro-American and seems to harbor little ill will toward Washington for having refused to give him a visa for almost a decade. And yet, he has not abandoned Russia, India’s ally, choosing to be silent on its actions in Ukraine.
Where Modi has underperformed, surprisingly, has been in his core competence — economics. He has been slow to announce major reforms. His first budget was disappointing, and many of his Cabinet appointments have been lackluster. Those expecting major changes in subsidies, trade policy or labor market restrictions have been disappointed.

And to HIM....we've had enough of your pyschotic BS now as you would say SCRAM!
It is very disingenuous of Fareed to segway Modi into this discussion needlessly. Modi is a pariah whose legitimacy as India's leader would be questionable. He is a murderer with genocidal tendencies. A hitler of sorts.
A t hug of the lowest cadre. An usurper of women's rights and dignity. A stalker. A pedophile. He is a disgrace to South Asia.
True but really not if you are a pedophile like Modi is. Plus India and Modi have subjugated and massacred and keep on massacring minorities including sikhs and moslems and Christians and Jews. The memories of your leader Gandhi siding with Hitler and holocaust of Jews is still fresh in our minds. Lastly, the filth you have spewed below is unforgivable. No one would take you seriously nor accept the sincerity of whatever you say. I am sure you will agree.
Modi has been stalking and videotaping an innocent girl. he is a sicko.
Paki troll alert!
Haters are going to hate and potatoes are going to potate. I am now used to people full of racism and hatred. Go learn. Before you say any number tomorrow (yes the numbers you use today) or use math or science go thanks Indian.When Alexander was defected in India, Magasthnese daughter was married to Chandragupta Maurya. That time Europe learnt some science from India and later in 16th century when they had second time contact. You guys only amuse me now.
We cannot and will not accept Modi as a leader till the cloud of genocide hovering over his head is lifted.
Modi will always be a persona non grata till he faces trial in the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
I see. Like Bush or Obama did? What the heck you think you are saying? You make absolute no sense!
HINDUISM CELEBRATED:::

Paki Troll alrt!
man!!! u r still in the 18th century!!! really feel for u!!!
Your brainwash is on full display. Get real. Good luck!
Mother's milk is to muslims what r@pes and terrorism is to hinddoous in Mother India. Two mothers one good the other very bad
Hindus wrote the SOPs on terrorism.
@ Chuck and Chalie...wasnt Modi voted in by the people of India? So who are WE to say he isnt their president? The US has so many issues of our that seriously need addressing and THAT should be what concerns us!
80% of people in India are illiterate. That is why you have Modi a murderer and a woman abuser as its prime Minister. Democracy does not work in such societies.
Right. Democracy works only in the enlightened nations in Middle east and best in Saudi Arabia. How enlightening of you!
There are plenty of women abusers in this society also @ Chumblee!
They are not Prime Ministers.
Modi maybe Fareed Zakaria's hero but he is a low life person who is responsible for the genocides of minorities in Gujarat.
Modi is a two bit hustler who thrives in murdering minorities.
Minority killing is a middle east concept where one God principle works. Thanks for exporting the virus of hate to subcontinent, which created a product that you are today. Pity!
Just like Stalin and Hitler, Modi is a psychopath who revels in murdering people. He is persona non grata in my view.
Hope he does not meet the same fate as Indira Gandhi.
Your brainwash is really amazing. Now I know how people can get trapped into jihadi stuff. Get real. Get humble.
Does anyone know when India is scheduling the plebiscite in Indian Occupied Kashmir?
Fareed can you please pose this question to Modi when you speak to him for CNN? Thanks.
And you know Kashmir is an integral part of India right? Else you are smoking too much!
@ Chumblee, only because this country does not have prime ministers!
The last time a Gujarati became India's Prime Minister, it was Morarji Desai, back in the 1970's. The guy actually drank his own urine and was proud of the fact, even telling Time Magazine that he called it "urine therapy", and that everybody should try it! No wonder they got rid of him in about 6 months! Who knows what this Gujarati Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, will show us. Maybe eating his own faeces? And then he will tell Time Magazine that it is called p00p therapy? Give us a break please! Do not let this RSS murderer, Modi, ever enter the US. Ban his US Visa for life!
Vodka is to Russia what cow urine is to India. Both national beverages.
Teri maa ko chod diya hai modi ne kya ? Jo tum pusslims ki gaand jali hui hai, jyada gadhe ka meat mat khaya kar pakistani nahi to tu bhi gadha ban jayega
Hindoos eat pancakes out of cow dung?
Modi is to India what Milosevic is to Bosnia. MURDERERS !!!! GENOCIDAL!!!
So was Pres. George H. W. Bush was to Iraq in 1991, Terry. Do you remember the brutal bombing on Feb. 13, 1991 of the Amriya air raid shelter by two American pilots, slaughtering well over 414 innocent civilians? I do!
@ Faux Joey...And yet so many still hero worship him. WHY???
Bcoz he is bacha baaz (likes young boys). It is the hindoo culture.
George H. W. Bush is Hindu? Really.
India is the best example of having a non-interventionist foreign policy !
The only policy India/hindoos have is gang r@pe/metal rod. Namastay.
Incest is allowed in Hinduism.
Modi is a pariah. A beggar.
Why is India looking for handouts from everyone? Can't they stand on their own feet?
India ia a poor nation with 85% of population living on a meal a day or starving. It can't produce enough to feed its people.
Modi does not strike me as an educated person. Zakaria's interview of him was very disappointing. It was more about paranoia of Pakistan and moslems than anything else. The guy can't even communicate in English!!! Of course, Fareed Zakaria is a RAW operative playing double with CIA.
Fareed's question to India's PM about growth compared to China's was a loaded question. China has enjoyed duty free trade while the companies in India have always paid very high Tariffs. It is time to start imposing tariffs on China made products!!! Level the playing field!!
as it is politicians come and go but the scene of the world remains the same– the unsolved problems bequeted from the former eras,and forever reminders of those broken and unfulfilled promises.
I was amazed at the hatred shown in some of the comments. Its as if all the Paki trolls have come united all at once. You better know what it means to lead the largest democracy in world? Any ideas of the statistics? Have some respect for humanity and get real. Modi is a real saint who had dedicated his life to nation. I hope the losers can see light across the tunnel.
Jai Hind.
I watched Indian Prime minister Mr. Modi, who is a well pronounced criminal landing America with his dirty feet, which are full of thousand of Indian’s blood. He had a devil smile on his face. He is the one who brought terrorists from different states to his state to slaughter people. Many of them were parents and grandparents who struggled to liberate India from British regime. He is the one who ordered his people to torture and kill all the males and forced women to take off their clothes and parade on the street. They tried to hide their bodies, in return they were whipped. Modi is a massacre killer. Thank god I have no connection with India anymore. I am proud of my Country where Mahatma Gandhi was born, where Indira Gandhi and his father, Lal Bahadur Shastrim, and Morarji Desai and Man Mohan Singh were prime minister. I am proud of my father who spent seven years of his life in jail as a freedom fighter. Educated Hindus in India are very peaceful and responsible people but he is not. He resembles one of the ISIS members.
After all look at his cabinet. Education Minister he selected does not even have a college degree. India has highly educated, intellectual people. He could not find an education Minister like Abul Kalam Azaad and Karim Chagla, because his standards are low.
I wish one of you could interview him and ask him about the massacre in his state during his regime.
