Modi's win in 2014 was the first harbinger of the global wave that gave us Brexit, Trump, the Australian election and various uprisings in Europe. Before the election I was reading about how Modi was in trouble. Now not so much.

Brazil, India, who is next? Trump has shown the freedom loving people of the world that we can take back our nations if we unite behind the right leaders.

815 million eligible voters in India - that’s a stunning number for a Democracy to keep track of.

His speech was a thing of beauty. He said the secularism is a dead horse. He also said that there are two types of Indians. Those that are poor who want to be rich, and the rich who want to help the poor. Nothing else matters.

Modi will unite India by putting Hindus first. Muslims and others will have to take a back seat.

That’s how Modi won such a decisive victory, through a populist approach.

After a recent attack by Pakistani terrprists in the Northwest, where 21 Indian police,men were killed, Modi reponded with the air force, bombing terrorist training camps inside Iran. Thats a first.

Modi will not be business as usual. You play, you pay. Even China, Pakistan’s closest ally, was caught off guard.

India has a great (historic) chance to grab business and speed development, as the global supply chain gets blasted out of China.

Modi is the right man to lead that change - a business-friendly reformer. His anticipated free market reforms were less than expected in his first term due to his narrow majority, but in the right direction.

His election is bad news for islamic radicals in India (or Pakistan). Not only is his BJP party considered a a staunchly religiously conservative Hindu Nationalist Party, but he himself has been a member of the even more hard-core Hindu political movement, the RSS, since his youth.

The RSS are the guys who will take to the streets to counter-riot against any muslim riot. They famously made an issue of tearing down a several hundred year old mosque in Ayodhya, built by the Mughal (muslim) Empereor Babur. They mobbed that mosque and tore it down, with 2,000 killed in the rioting afterward.

He is a strongly pro-defense politician as well, likely to build up India’s Navy against China, and continue India’s march of over-matching Pakistan’s military capabilities.

And again, the polls and MSM called it wrong.

They just don’t get that people do NOT want what they are selling.

BJP (the Hindu National Party of P.M. Modi) does not say that one has to be a Hindu to be a good citizen of India. It says one has to embrace the values and laws of India. To be sure, these values reflect the unique experience of India, and are informed by the country’s predominant religion. To be sure, this is official party doctrine, and probably there are members of BJP that think, yes, you have to Hindu.

I would say the same thing about the U.S. You dont’t have to be a Christian. You can be, for example, a Buddhist, an be 100 percent American. It would help to demonstrate this by saluting the flag, by having family members in our armed forces, and so forth. Also, by not being a criminal, but obeying our laws.

On the other hand, if you run down the country, don’t expect me to “honor” your religious heritage. You come across as anti-American and hateful of our people and our heritage, including the religious heritage of the majority of us. Obviously, those two hate-filled Muslim females in Congress are prime examples of what I’m talking about. If they hate this country, why don’t they go back to the country the prefer?

Oh, I forgot, we have better welfare benefits here.
