(45,380 posts)wonder what they will do with their mandate.
Being corrupt, one foot in the grave, and just don't give a F, are the basic requirements to be successful in Indian politics.
Hopefully they'll do some good things for the economy, infrastructure, sanitation, etc. But they are piss poor when it comes to intercultural relationships. The last thing India needs is more anti-muslim pogroms or another war with Pakistan or god forbid China. Unfortunately some folks want exactly that. Either way, if you think GW Bush don't give a F. Narendra Modi doesn't even pretend to give a F and will let you know how much he cares if you live or die.
I wonder what the Obama administration and other countries are going to do about his revoked visa status after the 2002 Gujarat massacre? Is he going to be allowed back in the US?
