I don't live in India, but I have an interest in their politics, so I have a question for you: How can you justify Modi as the best prime minister in the world when he tacitly approves the killings of Muslims? A group he should also be the leader of. The Hindu extremists are emboldened under his watch. In many areas, India is going backwards under his watch. He's far from the best in the world. You just haven't bothered to look.

Seriously this. people are getting lynched every week because of stupid cows and Modi's silence condoned that behavior. It was only after coming back from US/Netherlands did he mention anything about it. It's still not acceptable IMO. people should be allowed to eat whatever they want. He's not the best PM but he has the best PR team in the world.

  Earlier people were getting blown up now lynched. Some may call it a trade off.

    Are you implying that the lynching is only of potential bombers? Because that's not true. Innocent people are the ones being killed with zero consequences for the killers

      I think he meant pre-Modi people were getting killed in terrorist attacks but now they are getting killed from lynching. A terrible thing to say.

Doesn't matter what I say. I am a programmer, not a political pundit. But I do know that perceiving any country's leadership just based on news is a very bad idea. To understand and perceive the reality, you have to live in India for few months (say 6 months but even 2 years may feel less). And try to live as a commoner here, get some job (not volunteer/NGO work), travel-to-work, travel to different cities/villages, go to festivals, talk to people and allow typical intrusive social behavior.

  Aren't you doing the same though? Calling him the best PM India ever got is one thing, calling him best PM in the planet is, as you put it, "a very bad idea". You do not have any information about PM from other countries, besides what you read in news.

I bet parent also feels that Trump is the best president. The reasoning has to be similar.

In the last couple of days in Toronto, Canada there have been attacks which have the hallmarks of terrorism. 7 stabbings including a machete used to cut the face of a woman and a regent park shooting leading to death. Trudeau has not spoken out against these. He has recently contrasted Canadian immigration with US immigration, and in the process is inviting extremists from all over the world. These are signs that Islamic extremists are emboldened under his watch. In fact ISIS directly called for attacks on Canadians on Canada day. Trudeau has not spoken out against these either, so he tacitly approves the killing of Canadians. As far as India goes, there were spontaneous NotInMyName protests without Modi being present. There are more killings in all the muslim middle-east countries in a single day, than in India in a month. It is not going backwards.
