Modi's Trillion Dollar Pitch: India's Economy Growing After the Election
Dinesh Sharma
Associate Research Professor
Binghamton University's Institute for Global Cultural Studies
"In India's general election, Narender Modi's political pitch of development struck out his opponents at home and abroad. In his victory speech he said, 'India has won. Good days are near.' Now India's two-trillion dollar economy will be steaming ahead. The election of a Hindu nationalist leader at this turning point in India's history has raised serious concerns, mostly from ardent Nehruvian secularists, primarily because of the 2002 Hindu-Muslim riots, where almost 1,000 Indian Muslims were killed under Modi's watch. For now, Modi's trillion dollar arm has done the magic in Western capitals. Obama congratulated India's Prime Minister elect and invited him to the U.S., where earlier he was allegedly denied visa. Across the globe, Modi will be welcome while he pitches his development agenda to grow the Indian economy with a trillion dollar arm."
Sharma is associate research professor at Binghamton University's Institute for Global Cultural Studies in Binghamton, N.Y. He is the editor of the new book "The Global Obama: Crossroads of Leadership in the 21st Century," published by Routledge Press. His previous book, "Barack Obama in Hawaii and Indonesia: The Making of a Global President," was rated as the Top Ten Black History Book for 2012.
