Narendra Modi

Oh, totally.

Just a day prior, Rahul Gandhi had publicly challenged Prime Minister Modi to an open debate.

So Amit Shah is basically volleying that right back.

Yeah, essentially saying they are ready to debate anywhere, but that it should happen in parliament.

Look at the very reactionary, highly religious areas, very high birth rates.

Once again, if I'm Mr. Modi in India, I know where I'm going to be appealing to.

I'm going to be speaking for Hindu traditionalism.

Exactly the same in Russia.

It's just this kind of slightly strange mishmash of countries that happens to have all been part of the same empire at one point or another and has increasingly become dominated by this issue of reparations.

In fact, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, I can't remember the last time he turned up.

This time, Anthony Albanese, the Australian Prime Minister, didn't turn up.

So the really major powers in the Commonwealth are not even turning up to the summit.

He met the test.

And I think what is happening now is concerning for someone who looks at India and thinks, how is Modi going to go? Once a new government comes into power… To repeat, to pay the compliment of imitation to the outgoing government, to mimic the worst things you impute to that government is not a way to be democratic.

And many of these people who've been arrested, there's an atmosphere.

You look at the bank, Alter Bank, there are many accusations that are being leveled, which I've seen no evidence at all.

Right.

You ask whoever, Musk or Modi or Altman, and they will say nothing.

But AI can cure cancer.

AI will solve climate change.

He looks pretty healthy.

Modi is also someone who looks pretty alert, pretty healthy.

So I do think they have access to the best technology.

And, you know, like, let's just assume that there is this fashion struggle within China right now.

Markets fell after the Mexican result was announced as investors worried that the government could dismantle checks on executive power and threaten the rule of law within the country.

The situation in India was extremely volatile as to start with the exit polls said that the current Prime Minister Narendra Modi would return and his party would have a strong majority.

This drove Indian stocks higher.

But then when the results came through, it was revealed that Modi would have a reduced mandate, causing the Indian Nifty Fifty Index to fall almost 6%, a similar collapse to what was seen in Mexico, but for the opposite reason.

Investors expect a coalition with the Democratic Alliance, as the president Cyril Rampanosa has hinted that he prefers that option, but the Democratic Alliance is a predominantly white party and does not appeal to everyone in South Africa.

The country is in truth in a very uncertain position right now where it could take two very different directions depending on the coalition deal that's decided on.

In India, Narendra Modi is set to remain India's Prime Minister for a third time even after election results saw his majority slashed.

Modi has found himself reliant on the NDA's smaller parties to reach a majority after falling short of the 272 seats needed to form the next government.

That whole setup was very highly political because I was reading that Victoria is home to Australia's largest Indian-born population, so at around 260,000 residents.

And you might remember a couple of months ago when Narendra Modi visited Australia, that massive rock star reception that was given to him at the expense of the taxpayer.

I mean, it filled out a stadium.

I think it was actually the MCG.
