If you can't remain strictly respectful in your comments here, regardless of how wrong another comment is or how strongly you feel, then please don't post.
The entire submission was off-topic to begin with. We don't want garden-variety politics, horse-race takes, or flamewar fodder on Hacker News. None of that gratifies intellectual curiosity, the purpose of the site.
Coverage of Modi in our media, focusing on him being painted as a “nationalist”, immediately raises red flags for me. Why is it strange that someone in a different country would want to defend their culture against Western influence, especially after the history of colonization?
Telling someone else to produce more significant evidence for you isn't the best way to convince people that what you're saying is true.
I claimed that the Quora thread probably had more information than a comment complaining about the quality of the thread.
> It sounds like maybe you took something about it personally.
I take everything personally. Your words are showing up in front of people. If the things you're saying are wrong it creates a negative externality for the world around you.
Few weeks ago, I was transiting through Delhi to Astana. Flight got cancelled, I got stuck in Delhi, and was told to GTFO out of the country till the end the day or be sent to immigration jail.
Had to buy a last minute ticket to Dubai for cash at the counter for 1k :(
If that’s the case, any country would do the same.
Last time I got stuck in Qatar, I was given a gift card, and hotel stay paid by an airline. A very different experience.
May I ask if the country whose citizen you are shows flexibility?
And for my own country, Russia, nope. It is just few steps away from becoming North Korea now...
Much of Rural electrification work was done under RGGVY scheme (Congress) . Only minor and finishing part was completed under DDUGJY (BJP).
Also, his original claim was 100% electrification. I have worked in Ladakh region of JK state which is most inaccessible and backward area and I can tell you that there are many areas in Ladakh which are still unelectrified.
Most of his supporters are ultra-nationalists/anti-muslims/anti congress. You can guess only power issue isn't going to decide the voting preference. There are many issues at play. Infrastructure is the least important of them.
Indian people have become tired of ignoring the 1000 cuts policy of Pakistan and appreciated a PM willing to call Pakitan's N bluff.
