OBAMA WRITES ABOUT PM MODI IN TIME MAGAZINE, CALLS HIM ‘INDIA’S REFORMER-IN-CHIEF’



prime Minister Narendra Modi has been extended an unusual honour by “my friend Barack” Obama – the US president penned the profile of Modi in Time magazine’s most recent issue on the world’s 100 most influential people. Modi was quick to respond with a thank you on Twitter.
Obama’s three paragraph sketch praises Modi in the language of a liberal-left president. He opens by noting Modi’s rise from the son of a tea-seller to the head of the world’s largest democracy and how this “reflects the dynamism and potential of India’s rise.”
Obama then picks out the bits of Modi’s agenda that an Afro-American Democratic Party leader would most appreciate: helping the poor, empowering women and “confronting climate change.” There is a mention of yoga and Digital India but nothing of Make in India or the Indian prime minister’s hard face towards Pakistan.
