Why do Indians Resent The Coverage of Modi by The Western Media Houses Like CNN, The Economist, BBC et al?1

What is Not Seen But then, what they don't see are these clearly discernable facts The detachment is such that lacking self reflection, these reporters fail to see the Western ideals oozing out of Mr Modi. While his rise from a humble beginning to the present is akin to that of Abraham Lincoln - let alone the rags to riches American dream- his oratory power is as mesmerising as that of Obama - with whom he happens to share social discrimination. While going beyond protestant work ethics he hasn't taken leave since the last 12 years, going beyond a householder wish, he has offered his salary to the poor. Despite vilification, he has shown love for freedom of expression and offered praise to the Indian media for making him prominent. Despite being called divisive and media pointedly dragging him into religion, he has consistently refused to see electorate on any line other than on development. In fact, done earlier only by a sympathy wave (Mrs. Gandhi's death), his message of development has created history by making voters transcend faith, ethnicity, language and cast. Even Muslims, who are supposed to fear him, voted for him. Despite making a feast of politician's mistress scandals in the West, him sacrificing his wife for the sake of the country is not seen. Also not seen is his love of freedom of speech. His use of 3D technology not done in USA or UK is awaiting record recognition. After victory, almost as a statesman, through Twitter he has asked some oppositions party stalwarts to work together for the sake of the country. Continuing statesmanship, while he sees every citizen important, seeing neighbours as important he has invited all SAARC leaders. Even if the scary Hindutwa is invoked to scare Muslims, its core belief, amazingly, is respect for all religions! With the educated and optimistic Muslims, who voted for him not sharing the reporters' apprehension, this scaremongering itself becomes an insult to their intelligence. Furthermore, like Ms Clinton not finding Modi's mass graves, they will not find their views proven in the future. And Finally... And finally, though Indians have shown anger against the misguided reporters, unlike them, the man who has also been called Nero despite having the deepest regard for his mother, will rather praise them for making him prominent! This is exactly what he did to the Indian media people, who feasted on criticising him for more than 10 years. This should bring the vive of Gandhi, whom he respects so much. ------------------------------
