Media blitz..

NaMo has won by a landslide!

What the western media is doing, even after more than 1/2 a billion people have clearly said, "They want Development. They want good governance. They have moved on from 2002. They believe jobs and economy will take a focus and the people as a nation can pull out of the current stagnation.", is ridiculous!

Every news report and article today mentions "polarized", "divisive" etc. etc.

The US media needs to grow up!

An absolute majority! where is the polarization? where is the divisiveness? folks from every segment put economy over 2002.. 

Funny thing is that US media does the same thing with China. "No freedom, no rights etc. etc." is all we hear about China, all the time in US media. When I go to China, I see those people are actually happy that the country is growing. They don't see it as a big deal that the govt. is checking their mails. they don't care who their Premier is, as long as things improve day to day. There is a pragmatism there when it comes to accepting that a large population needs a lot of things to support it. The email snooping was happening in the US also, except we didn't know it! So all we pride ourselves on is not security but a false sense of security. 

When you have a billion plus mouths to feed, and a population distribution that is getting younger, you need different solutions. A larger population has larger inertia. It is not easy to move everyone in the same direction. Yet, that has to happen to a certain extent if development has to thrive at that scale. 

It is high time we sent a whole bunch of US media guys on some kind of exchange program to India and China!

There are a bunch of people in India who are still speculating that Modi's government will turn India into the dark ages and communal violence will be everywhere like 2002. Well, it has not happened in Gujarat for 12 years. Why will it happen all over now? 

The polarization seems to be in the minds of folks who do not back Modi, with respect to the sanity of Gujarathis. The argument seems to be "NaMo did not develop Gujarat. Gujarat and Gujarathis were developed long before Modi even came into the picture." If they accept that Gujarathis are smart folks, then they voted Modi and kept him their leader for 12 years! So they must see something in him, no? The response to that question has always been met with silence. 

It is time the media moved on from making Modi into some kind of monster, and see him as the builder that he is!
