Narendra Modi

Since the Indian general elections in May this year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become a phenomenon. Indians appear to be enthralled by the political success of a former tea-seller and the international community intrigued by his phenomenal rise in a country otherwise known for sclerotic political leadership. Both domestically and internationally, he is on the roll. Modi’s rise may weaken the West dominated global order and contribute to the evolution of a more decentralized new order.

When I grew up, the world seemed to be bad and awful place. The life story of Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, is identical to my life story. Growing up in northern-India was very difficult. Having no support from my parents, I started looking at life in a very skeptical way. My father had left me in a boarding school, when I was callow to take care of myself. In hopes of my survival, both my mother and father handed me a bundle of rupee notes. If counted, it would last for no longer…
