That said, I hate that The New York Times chose such an inappropriate image of Modi on their front page coverage of his win; it reeks of the "Inscrutable Oriental".

TLDR: Modi
Is the newly elected Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, good for India? The short answer is no, and here's why. He is a right wing religious (Hindu) conservative nationalist who has an ugly history with Muslims dating back to his days serving as the state's chief minister in Gujarat, that resulted in the slaughter of approximately a thousand people, mostly Muslim. This is the approximate equivalent to Bill Clinton presiding over riots and slaughter of African Americans in his home state of Arkansas prior to winning the presidential election.
That said, I hate that The New York Times chose such an inappropriate image of Modi on their front page coverage of his win; it reeks of the "Inscrutable Oriental".
