Narendra Modi, without doubt has the most difficult responsibility in the world.
To take an undisciplined, barely literate but democratic country, bound by laws, tradition and a culture more suitable to the nineteenth century, cannot be any easy task. One small slip or a natural tragedy and there’s hell to pay. The job of the US president or that of Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party is a snap of the fingers by comparison. Those two countries have all the advantages that India doesn’t have without most of the disadvantages that India has. So the next time you call him a chaiwala or any other name without having the misfortune of walking in his shoes, show a little compassion. Roland Francis
