The premier talked about India’s qualities in his special edition piece for The Economist
The 30th Edition issue of the British business magazine is set to release in the near future, with contributions from various world leaders, including the prime Minister of India. In excerpts seen from the piece, PM Modi has once again praised the cultural potential of India. He writes, “India has tremendous social strengths, including pluralism.”
This comes on the background of a massive controversy about intolerance in the multi-ethnic country. While groups from around the world have written and discussed the rising acts of intolerance in India and blamed the government of failing to keep check, the Prime Minister has been tactfully addressing the issue in his various comments lately in meetings across the world. In his address last week to the Indian diaspora in the UK, he appraised the diversity in India and called it the nation’s ‘strength and pride’. Despite this, critics and representatives of other parties have actively commented about the BJP Prime Minister’s lack of control on several motormouths in the party, who have making rash and disgraceful comments about minority groups in the country.
In the cover story of the magazine titled, The World in 2016, PM Modi’s piece is impressively placed, alongside contributions from International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde and Nobel Peace laureate Malala Yousafzai and caricatures of various other leaders. Adding to his positive thoughts about the country’s future, PM Modi has also stressed on other developmental agendas in his column. “We are conscious that our growth…will have some environmental impact,” he writes, referring to his expectations of a wider effect of India’s development on the world. The Climate Change Summit is scheduled to be held in Paris soon.
Moreover, the Indian premier has strategically talked about the people’s expectations from his administration. Said he, “Inevitably, some of these expectations run ahead of us.”
The magazine, to be published in the international domain, will be a vital communication bond between the people and the Prime Minister, especially in light of the fading enthusiasm in recent times.
