Narendra Modi Quiz

Narendra Modi was elected Prime Minister of India on Friday as his Bharatiya Janata Party party won a majority of the 534 seats in parliament. It was the world’s largest exercise in electoral democracy, with 814 million eligible voters and a record 66.38% voter turnout.

If my kids are hungry, I would rather convert to a religious group that offersfood to my kids, and I should have the freedom to convert to any religion thatoffers me the money to take care of my needs. What's wrong with that? Politicianschange their loyalties for power in India every day. If I go out forlunch or dinner with female friends on Valentine's Day, what is your problem,what difference does that make in your life? My Indianness does not change abit with my belief, and what I eat or wear. Modi needs to believe and speak upwhen one's freedom is violated.

I didn't mention the American CIA by name. I said a foreign force was involved. Then prime minister P. V. Narasimha Rao also made a statement in Parliament about this. It could be the CIA or somebody else. Just think, this spy case was initiated by a circle inspector! But it ended in the Supreme Court. You don't see the foreign hand in the whole episode; it was invisible. That's why I said it was a conspiracy. I was instrumental in bringing liquid propulsion systems to India. I had signed an agreement with the Russians for cryogenic technology in 1991. But the target was achieved only in 2014.

While it is doubtful that a Prime Minister Modi would go out of his way to spite the United States, he would not set out to consciously ingratiate himself with the United States either. If bilateral relations do receive a direct boost, it will be because he views undertaking certain actions as necessary for advancing India’s own interests. And because Narendra Modi is, above all else, a committed nationalist who cares deeply about Indian interests, it is not unreasonable to expect that he will do some things for India that would bring clear benefits to the United States.

How a Modi government would react to such provocations is unknown. It is likely that not even Modi himself knows today and that he would not be sure until actually faced with that moment of truth in office. To be sure, India has many more retaliatory options short of all-out war than it did during a 2001–2002 military standoff with Pakistan and the 2008 terrorist attacks in Bombay. But international observers should not suppose that a Modi government will be automatically inclined toward more kinetic responses to Pakistan in the event of a terrorist attack emerging from that country.
