Modi's re-election is India's biggest problem going forward. The biggest
issue he has to tackle is job creation, which is not going to happen
just with slogan chanting and hate speeches igniting further racial
polarisation. Already we have seen the issues regarding the treatment of
Muslims in India. India has lots of problems with racial and religious
matters, with Manipur and Punjab particularly evident. Modi is not
solving them but is keeping and using such issues to divide and rule.
Modi's
popularity rests on his pro-Hindu religious stand, which is the
religion of the majority Indians in India, and they are eating out of
his hand. However, that is not going to solve the unemployment problem
facing younger Indians entering the workforce. The same way that Muslims
in Malaysia have eaten out of the hands of Mahathir for decades, using
racial politics to divide the country. That has stagnated progress in
Malaysia for decades. Anyway, let us not talk too much about Malaysian
politics as Muslims in Malaysia may not like it.
With India's
anti-foreign business mindset under Modi, where foreign investments in
India are sidelined in favour of domestic manufacturers that contributed
huge sums of money in political support for him and his party, trying
to lure foreign investors to set up shop in India is difficult. Chinese
investors are avoiding India for example. That is not good for job
creation. It is cutting the nose to spite the face, nothing more nothing
less.

Can India overtake China to become the factory of the world? Some experts shout 'Yeah, of course'.
Yet some others say that it is just wishful thinking. But still some are also wishing that it is going to be true, and the Indians would love to hear that.
Well, maybe I should hope it is going to be true. It will be fun to watch the Indians going up against the USA in trying to be the industrial capital of the world, or just the factory of the world. Biden is attracting all the manufacturers to the USA with subsidies galore. Can India follow suit? I foresee battle lines being drawn when that happens. It happened to Japan. It happened to Germany. It is happening to China. And it will likewise happen to India. Nothing is more important than 'interest' in the context of USA's relations with other countries.
Why are some German manufacturers investing more in China and not USA or India? Why did so many USA CEOs of USA industry and commerce just visited China and had a session with Xi. They are not there to exchange T-shirts or have tea with Xi for sure, after travelling thousands of miles to be given the privilege of meeting with Xi. And they were not paid to visit China, unlike those senators visiting Taiwan. Even Liz Truss, ex-British PM and a nobody then, was paid 90,000 British pounds on her visit to Taiwan in May 2023. How much were USA senators paid to visit Taiwan for supporting USA military aid to Taiwan? Think about it!
But let me give the Indians something to cheer about. India will be the factory of the world taking over from China in due time. What due time, I cannot tell. But lest the Indians forget, China has massive overcapacity to fight its battle. India does not even have the basic capacity to compete. That gives you an idea of the gap to be narrowed.
Modi taking the cue from his fellow Indian (Muslim), Mahathir.
Yup, Mahathir has Indian heritage. His grandfather from Kerala India.
Stupid Taiwanese paid millions to those parasites Senators and Machines Gressed bastards and bitches and also those minion kuching kurap
Parasitic countries who claimed to recognise them.
When the $$$ start to slow or dry up, they turned to China.
Wasted so much of their hard earned monies into the drains.
