Pres Obama on Narendra Modi
India’s reformer-in-chief
As a boy, Narendra Modi helped his father sell tea to support their family. Today, he’s the leader of the world’s largest democracy, and his life story—from poverty to Prime Minister—reflects the dynamism and potential of India’s rise.
Determined to help more Indians follow in his path, he’s laid out an ambitious vision to reduce extreme poverty, improve education, empower women and girls and unleash India’s true economic potential while confronting climate change. Like India, he transcends the ancient and the modern—a devotee of yoga who connects with Indian citizens on Twitter and imagines a “digital India.”
When he came to Washington, Narendra and I visited the memorial to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We reflected on the teachings of King and Gandhi and how the diversity of backgrounds and faiths in our countries is a strength we have to protect. Prime Minister Modi recognizes that more than 1 billion Indians living and succeeding together can be an inspiring model for the world. more

Yes no doubt Modi has great admirers all over the world and he has raised Indias image too. however it is important to make middle class Indian to understand what his govt is doing is very very important for the common man. It is worrying to see that well educated class has started saying," He is only talking and nothing is happening on the ground." BJP has to explain to the people in their own language otherwise i am afraid they will start losing ground. more
