Yeah, plus his party BJP has been pretty imstrumental in the rise of fundamentalist hindu-right in india.

But to be fair, he's not carried out anything stupid as Prime minister. His election was based on the promise of development, and he seems to be intent on that.

One cannot say the same for BJP unfortunately, Hindu nationalism has risen and is trying to make it's voice felt. I hope Modi is wise enough to shut that down.



Pardon me, but didn't the Pakistanis show quite aggressive Nationalism for decades now towards all their neighbours except for China?

Hindu Nationalism sounds more like a reaction to me than anything else.
