FZ is Congress+ muslim. He is hilarious. Incidentally Manmohan singh was for over two decades part of the license raj which he never opposed. He changed when he was driven to the wall.
When Muslims have pride and love for their faith, it is great for other Muslims. When Hindus have pride, it is not good for Muslims. The Muslims goal is to hamper, constrain and hinder Hindus as a majority and when Muslims are a majority, they want to convert, persecute and make life so terrible that Hindus either leave or convert. Modi stands tall as the first Hindu leader. A return of glory.

Absolutely valid points. Also, he is advocating getting close to US. Can he cite any references of any country benefitting from US unless you remain a second class nation at the mercy of US. There are many instances of US supporting Pakistan for their own personal gains including in 1971 and a large part of last 30 years of continued terrorism on Indian soil.
you are absolutely right. Zakaria reads some stupid articles written by vested congi agents and comes out saying that Indian Muslims are treated as second-class citizens in India. What nonsense. Over dozen, schemes were implemented by the Modi govt for the betterment of the poor without discriminating against any cast or creed. The fact of the matter is, in all these schemes, the minority community takes the fullest benefits and they still badmouth Moi an Hindus in this country which is unfortunate. This shows the kind of Muslim mindset which treats all other religious followers as Kaffirs. In Hindu-majority countries like India, this cannot be accepted at all. The problem with Muslims is that they are unable to live along with people of other religious followers. They are 100% at fault
.BJP Considering Muslims as Second Class Citizen i don't understand in which part of the world he is living. Flip Side Congress treated Hindus as Second Class citizens. More appeasement created this backlash from certain sections. Remember Manmohan Singh said "Muslims must have first claim on resources".
There is only one reason why PM Modi is in the position that he is, is because he is focused on and actually working for development of India as a whole, not just for select families. Also, neither India nor Modi would care a bit about where he stands on the global stage. It's the Indians and India that he cares about and rightly ahould

But in the states of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, the opposition do have, funds, more tha 500 times of BJP! And the dark effect of left-vahabi-sino sponsored radicalisation! 🔥
Wow, left - wasabi - sino radicalization. Such a contrived victimhood Hindus have developed under the BJP. Reality is minorities in India are being victimized and there is manufactured hate by the BJP - comments like these are examples of that.
Zakaria (and most such long distance commentators) are totally off the track when they say that Muslims are being depicted as second class citizens by Modi. Modi's numerous policies are religion neutral. The whole problem for these commentators comes up because all these years the minorities were given "priority" over the majority and today they have to live as equals.
Mr. Fareed why should India as you say" solidify their alliance with America and not play Footsy with Russia" - No one can trust America. America is Americas' friend, 1st and foremost. But Russia and India go a long way WRT to alliance and friendship. Modi Ji cannot be compared with the likes of Mr. Nehru. He is class apart. Modi Ji loves India and the people of India. Jai Hind.
As a Hindu whose religion knows how much religious freedom to be given to people, we have given Muslim people enough freedom. Tell me about one Islamic country which has given as equal freedom to other religions and their practices as India has given to Muslims.
Fareed talks about "Modi should do things for the average person". He has done a 100 times more for the poor people in 10 years than the Congress which governed for more than 50 years. Indira Gandhi shouted 'garibi hatao' only to get votes, but not a single scheme covered even half as much as one of Modi's schemes has done.
Sir I agree and feel proud my Hinduism and it's vedas are teaching us tolerance and throw welcome arms to others.. but tolerance too has limit... Jai Shri Ram
He admits that Hinduism is a tolerant religion, yet never questions why more than 40 muslim-majority countries worldwide treat their non-muslim minorites as lower class citizens under sharia law. Lives a comfortable life in the US and talks as if he knows more about India than their own voting citizens. The journalist should at least ask him in which way muslims are 2nd class citizens, no proof means he's not an honest journalist
Spectacular rise of female participation in Saudi workforce include domestic workers, restaurant and shopping centre sales people, etc. from Philippines and South Asia. In India, domestic workforce is not counted. They are part of a very large invisible workforce. That need to be taken into account when comparing stats.
it seems to me, that statistic about women not participating in workforce is all bogus. i see women working everywhere. even as Swiggy drivers. i find it hard to believe that women are locked up in their homes. afaik, every woman is working, from the lowest blue collar job to highest corporate job. and many women also have home based businesses (like lets say making and selling snacks, masala powders etc)
Women in India faces no restriction to work unlike saudi women which needs her male guardians approval to do most things in her life. He's very disingenuous comparing a free democratic secular state like India to a theocratic totalitarian monarchy which bans all other religion, has no free media, elections, minority religion etc
FZ does not seem to understand BJP has vote share in excess of 50% in 224 seats. The 38% overall vote share is function of earning single digit vote share in some Southern states.
Until last Muslim and last hindu exchange is not completed between india and pakistan then separation is not completed. Let us finish this incomplete project
For leftist, its totally fine for pakistan and 40 other muslim-majority states to be islamic, India must remain secular as to not 'marginalise' their muslim minorities. Delusional and hypocritical
Truth and reality has finally struck. Zakaria has changed his views on Modi. Rahul like his boss Sardesai, cannot hide his hatred for Modi, BJP et all.
Modi has inspired the Indians everywhere to take pride in Bharat and its great Heritage, which was white washed by British and Nehru inspired Historians. Plus his foreign affairs policy is great. US and Russia both think of India as a close ally. If someone smarter than Modi comes, it will be good for all. He had raised the bar. Of course, there are some negatives, too. But overall it's a plus.
Why is being asked questions about Indian politics and Hindu resurgence? He is neither Hindu nor Indian. Indian Media has some weird intellectual compass.
Modi ji has grown to tallest figure with his hardwork, Natuonal pride, Superb handling of External affairs, economic growth in seceral sectors even after carona pandemic, String leader in decision making, helping poor people in many ways incl muslim poor etc...This makes him Tallest leader today..no match to him in India, no matter how hard opposition try, Indians vote him again with 350+ seats in 2024 elections
I did not care to watch the interview with a man to whom for some unexplained reason the Indian media gives a lot of importance as though his words carry great weight. He is a nobody.
contrary to all comments here , Fareed has toned down his comments abt Modi compared to 5 years ago . I think he has realized that Modi is delivering on development and infrastructure and young india is a big fan of the PM ..
because american society likes modi. he has no choice other than to praise modi. if he continues to support muslims claiming victiom hood, hed will thrown out of cnn. he knows that thats why he has to praise modi at the same time he has to protect his muslimhood. he is a divorced muslim. did his wife say talaq three times and threw him on the streets? that would hgave been funny. because he prefers to protect women.
He has understood his old ways aren’t working anymore , he has to acknowledge Modi’s popularity, you can’t ignore Modi anymore , but he has done in a very calculated way .
Fareed may not understand electoral maths well. It is not primary school maths that opposition got 62% ... For example, if India alliance put one single candidate against BJP in all 42 seats, it is advantage BJP. The die hard congress voters would rather vote for BJP or abstain at best than vote for TMC. Note that CPM, Congress have die hard voters only and they hate Mamata much more than anything else under the sun.
You want Fareed Zakarias opinion on Hindus singing Ram Bhajan ? This man who thinks Hinduism is more patriarchal than the fine universal religion of Saudi Arabia ??? Thank you o fine intellectuals for giving Hindus your kind approval to indulge in our devotional life.
He did not tap into Hindu pride, he resisted Hindu humiliation, but, that too not for Hindus, because Hindu humiliation is broadly humiliating India too. It has a history, colonial rulers conquered India also by humiliating Hindus, they seperated all that was good in India and claimed that to the non-hindu diversity, and projected everything that is unacceptable legacy blamed it on Hindus, and there by targetted Indian history for divide & humiliate. Now we see a resistance. That resistance is better accepted in north of India than in the south, because south could be much successfully indoctrinated by colonial logic, which was presented as if it were a progressive alternative .
Very correct assessment at the end. Captures the idea of being the Vishwaguru. You don’t have to be rich or powerful to do right and stand by your moral principles. India should lead the democratic world by doing things in the right spirit, outcomes are less important.
India was playing the NAM fiddle for 70 years. We did not go anywhere. We lost part of Kashmir to China. Pacifist are weak. That’s why America does not play pacifist politics. And now China is doing their own politics aggressively. Ultimately the winner takes all and the loser losses everything. So zakaria is saying India should be a loser! I do not want to vishvaguru India , but an India that makes difference in the world by doing the right thing by sama, beda and danda!
Very interesting analysis by Fareed bhai, I agree with him on most points! Modi ji promoting Hinduism and nationalism at the cost of Indian Muslims is not true! 🇮🇳

Although Fareed is a good journalist but when it comes to being Muslim there is something awry. What does he want vision to be? Pander to muslims and let hem be rulers as was happening for past so many years. Modi's is visionary not tactical and his vision is economic prosperity , international standing coupled with Hindu identity.
this guy is namesake Indian but Pakistani at heart and one of the people pushing "fascist India under BJP, democracy under threat, hindus are oppressing muslims" type nonsense in western media. he's a corporate stooge and sings their tunes for the most part.
His understanding of india is poor He doesn't talk about what other community doing in india.why he wants only Hindus to be tolerant and not others. Typical tutored interview What Modi has done is unbelievable
Even a ‘so called’ accomplished journalist like Arif Z can’t shed his Muslim mindset which is anti BJP and anti Hindu. I don’t know why indian journos can’t ask questions that point to the tremendous progress made by India under Modi since 2014. I feel Mr Kanwal is ‘begging’ for Arif Z’s acceptance .. which is something that will never happen. Just look at the negative coverage by Westen Media on the Ram Mandir opening. Again - no news house wants to point to the facts - such as - Supreme Court adjudicated in favor of current status. Indian journos should develop not beg for acceptance from western journalists - even if it’s Arif Z who’s got indian roots.
@rahul kanwal Ask him questions on 1. Why American Democracy gowing down. Why Trump is being tried to be disqualified. 2. Why are American printing Dollars and increasing debt. 3. Ask about Chances of Ramaswamy You guys still asking about your country issue to American citizen is downgrading the country. Thats why your TRP is decreasing. No one india ur viwers interested in this interview
When will Indian journalist come out of colonial mindset of seeking validation from western biased media? Farid should be the one asking Indian journalists about how they think about US politicians.
Fareed talks about how he wants india to become an open society. Now where have we heard OPEN SOCIETY before.(soros) He thinks we indians r idiots & we will welcome his idea of democracy.😂
It is only blind envy that can make someone say that the BJP leadership has not used their power for truly inclusive growth of India and all Indians, and has addressed the pride of Indians as Indians..not of Hindu pride.. and not seeing that it is its opposition that plays divisive, vote- bank politics... And Indian youth realising and recognising the greatness of Rama is not a return to patriarchal religiosity but it is being inspired by the nobility of Rama's character.
Fareed is not dividing Indians. He is unifying it.....I am a BJP supporter and a Hindu. But Hindu means a lit of things. I am very much concerned about the development of Indian Muslims as much as every Indian and so does all Indian Hindus and Indians. We are Indians first.
Hindus are eight class citizens in India. In a Hindu majority land, bunch of muslim goons physically assaulted an interfaith couple. Hindu saints in Bhopal got Lynched. So if threat of Islam is so great that it actively involve in violence in a non Hindu majority, then it's only right to retaliate against that ideology which is bound to destroy every form of civility. Hindus don't even have the control of their own temples unlike muslims. Muslims can take any land as they please using the Waqf board. Hindus are eight class citizens in India.
Narsimha Rao , Manmohan Singh's policy was a policy of survival but Modi's policy is for excellence and vishwa guru . Something world class , extraordinary. Farid Jakaria and his aligners will never understand the value of this super man named Modi with the myopic lens.
1:52 what more should Modi do to bring it to use it positively? Everytime there's mention of hindu pride the opposition jumps the gun. It's the opposition and muslims who should take it positively. At the end of the day rights argument is that even muslims are hindus civilizationally speaking (for lack of better word, even 'sanatan' is being demonized now). Hindu nationalism is more than just faith, hinduism is honestly quite accepting of other faiths
FZ is articulate. However a few points he needs to know. Indian women pilots... software engineers..agriculturists... teachers...doctors.. entrepreneurs... corporate workers are not to be compared with Saudi arabian domestic and blue collar workers.
1. Opposition has much greater money reserves due to year after year of corruption. 2. Only money defines classes, definitely not religion or caste, in India or in most of the world .
Pretty simplistic assessments of Modi’s politics from an ace journalist - he should have listened to Prashant Kishor before giving this interview to Rahul Kawal.
Modiji is not promoting Hindu pride. he is promoting Indian pride. This has been undermined in the last 70 years. Israel with only 6 million people is teaching in Hebrew in its universities. But in India , with a billion people, even after 75 years, there is not a single engineering or medical college which does not teach in english. Even Ayurvedic medical colleges teach in english, when the references are all in Sanskrit. If certain sections have been manipulated by accusing of anti this and anti that, it is the fault of previous govts which have lost power and are now crying wolf.Both Yogi and Modi are under attack from vested interests, who would like the status quo. The status quo means corruption. When Narasimha Rao claimed we liberalized the economy as if they did some special favor, they do not acknowledge that they suppressed the indian economy for 50 years under "license and permit raj". China's rise has opened the eyes of indians. , .
I have always respected Fareed Zakaria! He has balanced views! He is right! Hinduism is one of the broadest religions in the world! It never disrespects any other religion! Just because Ram Madir was built it does not mean it will divide the nation! They took back the sacred land that was grabbed from them 550 years ago! But that does not mean they are going to kill every Muslim in the country! We have coexisted for 550 years!
What a BS that modi cannot be larger than Nehru…dude…modi did not play. Nor tried to be what he is…he believes in what he does, honest and dedicated nationalist, with strong civilizational values
Why is he not cross questioning Fareed 1: he should have asked why does he think minorities are marginalized ?? All the welfare schemes are for every Indian …. If anyone is dividing India is the opposition ! North DNA vs. South DNA …. Opposition played religion in MP election !! 2: about foreign policy - why is US playing both sides with India - Pakistan ?? Don’t know why Rahul couldn’t ask these basic questions !
We Hindus are very tolerant and inclusive that is why all Abrahamic religions like Christianity and Islam are very much thriving in our culture .OUR TOLERANCE IS TAKEN TO BE A WEAKNESS BY THESE RELIGIOUNS TO CONVERT US AND OUR SANATHAN CULTURE
This guy Fareed Zakaria looks like an educated guy but again his identity as a Muslim forces him to say that Modi should not divide India come on give me a break has he lived in india to see the divide between Hindus and Muslims. Hindus were oppressed Alene Congress used to rule but PM Modi has given hope and ray of light to Hindus all over the world that don’t feel ashamed in calling yourself Hindus and proudly say I am Hindu and prod to be Hindu.
Lal Bahadur Shastri was also not an “elite PM”. Second, Modi is not dividing the country. I don’t understand why the leftists can’t accept the reality even after so many things that had happened since 2014 !

There is only one reason why PM Modi is in the position that he is, is because he is focused on and actually working for development of India as a whole, not just for select families.
Also, neither India nor Modi would care a bit about where he stands on the global stage. It's the Indians and India that he cares about and rightly ahould

Modiji is a tall tall unique human being of high order.
Christian and Muslims takes pride in the belief and flaunt it.. it is not BJP but people of India who have become more expressive of their faith..
But in the states of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, the opposition do have, funds, more tha 500 times of BJP! And the dark effect of left-vahabi-sino sponsored radicalisation! 🔥
Wow, left - wasabi - sino radicalization. Such a contrived victimhood Hindus have developed under the BJP. Reality is minorities in India are being victimized and there is manufactured hate by the BJP - comments like these are examples of that.
Zakaria (and most such long distance commentators) are totally off the track when they say that Muslims are being depicted as second class citizens by Modi. Modi's numerous policies are religion neutral. The whole problem for these commentators comes up because all these years the minorities were given "priority" over the majority and today they have to live as equals.
Also Zakaria is a part of American CNN librandu journalism eco system
He was with CNN and anti India.
100% true
Mr. Fareed why should India as you say" solidify their alliance with America and not play Footsy with Russia" - No one can trust America. America is Americas' friend, 1st and foremost. But Russia and India go a long way WRT to alliance and friendship. Modi Ji cannot be compared with the likes of Mr. Nehru. He is class apart. Modi Ji loves India and the people of India. Jai Hind.
Praising Nehru even after knowing his blunders reflects his leaning. What they speak is not what they mean. They always have a hidden agenda
heindsight is 20/20 modi's blunders will eventually come out when he is out of power

As a Hindu whose religion knows how much religious freedom to be given to people, we have given Muslim people enough freedom. Tell me about one Islamic country which has given as equal freedom to other religions and their practices as India has given to Muslims.
None. Period .
He knows it and will never admit it. All OIC countries implement sharia in which minorites are lower class citizens by law and he's fine with that
Fareed talks about "Modi should do things for the average person". He has done a 100 times more for the poor people in 10 years than the Congress which governed for more than 50 years. Indira Gandhi shouted 'garibi hatao' only to get votes, but not a single scheme covered even half as much as one of Modi's schemes has done.
Sir
I agree and feel proud my Hinduism and it's vedas are teaching us tolerance and throw welcome arms to others.. but tolerance too has limit...
Jai Shri Ram
Hinduism teaches not just tolerance but to uphold Dharma by doing the right Karma including to fight for righteousness.
Don’t call him Sir
He admits that Hinduism is a tolerant religion, yet never questions why more than 40 muslim-majority countries worldwide treat their non-muslim minorites as lower class citizens under sharia law. Lives a comfortable life in the US and talks as if he knows more about India than their own voting citizens. The journalist should at least ask him in which way muslims are 2nd class citizens, no proof means he's not an honest journalist
Modiji does not divide people, he unites them
Spectacular rise of female participation in Saudi workforce include domestic workers, restaurant and shopping centre sales people, etc. from Philippines and South Asia. In India, domestic workforce is not counted. They are part of a very large invisible workforce. That need to be taken into account when comparing stats.
it seems to me, that statistic about women not participating in workforce is all bogus. i see women working everywhere. even as Swiggy drivers. i find it hard to believe that women are locked up in their homes. afaik, every woman is working, from the lowest blue collar job to highest corporate job. and many women also have home based businesses (like lets say making and selling snacks, masala powders etc)
WELL SAID! Exactly! They are imported workers! Zakaria is very disingenuous and he should be called out openly for that.
Women in India faces no restriction to work unlike saudi women which needs her male guardians approval to do most things in her life. He's very disingenuous comparing a free democratic secular state like India to a theocratic totalitarian monarchy which bans all other religion, has no free media, elections, minority religion etc
Mr. Zaharia sees division because of PM Modi’s visit to Ayodhya 😊
Modi can’t be called character. He is a visionary. Just that the some folks can’t stomach it.
FZ does not seem to understand BJP has vote share in excess of 50% in 224 seats. The 38% overall vote share is function of earning single digit vote share in some Southern states.
Until last Muslim and last hindu exchange is not completed between india and pakistan then separation is not completed.
Let us finish this incomplete project
For leftist, its totally fine for pakistan and 40 other muslim-majority states to be islamic, India must remain secular as to not 'marginalise' their muslim minorities. Delusional and hypocritical
Truth and reality has finally struck. Zakaria has changed his views on Modi. Rahul like his boss Sardesai, cannot hide his hatred for Modi, BJP et all.
What he was talking about Education is to spread missionaries and convert gullible mass to Christianity
India is not about religion, but civilization ... Sanatana Dharma 🎉
Modi has inspired the Indians everywhere to take pride in Bharat and its great Heritage, which was white washed by British and Nehru inspired Historians. Plus his foreign affairs policy is great. US and Russia both think of India as a close ally. If someone smarter than Modi comes, it will be good for all. He had raised the bar. Of course, there are some negatives, too. But overall it's a plus.
Why is being asked questions about Indian politics and Hindu resurgence?
He is neither Hindu nor Indian.
Indian Media has some weird intellectual compass.
Modiji has ignited Hindu Pride....its the civilisation and identity of sanatana Dharma ❤
Fareed is as good at math as I am good at Journalism
No wonder Einstein was scared of you, @krishnachaitanya3092 🤣
@@Bharadwajudu123 you did not get the humor behind the comment.
You comment is right on the spot.
One can imagine the kind of interview he would give if rahul was the pm, zero criticism all praise
Modi ji has grown to tallest figure with his hardwork, Natuonal pride, Superb handling of External affairs, economic growth in seceral sectors even after carona pandemic, String leader in decision making, helping poor people in many ways incl muslim poor etc...This makes him Tallest leader today..no match to him in India, no matter how hard opposition try, Indians vote him again with 350+ seats in 2024 elections
Look how a US journalist keeps US' interests in mind! Hope Indian journalists learn something from.him.
Fareed is biased. He is giving credit to Maun Mohan…. What a clown Fareed is!
I did not care to watch the interview with a man to whom for some unexplained reason the Indian media gives a lot of importance as though his words carry great weight. He is a nobody.
ignore him . he speaks not knowing how complicated bharat is. there is no substance in all what he said.
He seems to be pro-congress...he is definitely one of the boss puppies
contrary to all comments here , Fareed has toned down his comments abt Modi compared to 5 years ago . I think he has realized that Modi is delivering on development and infrastructure and young india is a big fan of the PM ..
because american society likes modi. he has no choice other than to praise modi. if he continues to support muslims claiming victiom hood, hed will thrown out of cnn. he knows that thats why he has to praise modi at the same time he has to protect his muslimhood. he is a divorced muslim. did his wife say talaq three times and threw him on the streets? that would hgave been funny. because he prefers to protect women.
He has understood his old ways aren’t working anymore , he has to acknowledge Modi’s popularity, you can’t ignore Modi anymore , but he has done in a very calculated way .
Zakaria is a deep state tool. Pannu, Zakaria and so many others are linked....
Fareed may not understand electoral maths well. It is not primary school maths that opposition got 62% ... For example, if India alliance put one single candidate against BJP in all 42 seats, it is advantage BJP. The die hard congress voters would rather vote for BJP or abstain at best than vote for TMC. Note that CPM, Congress have die hard voters only and they hate Mamata much more than anything else under the sun.
Very macro research ❤
Where is the proof for women labor participation rate for Saudi Arabia ?
You want Fareed Zakarias opinion on Hindus singing Ram Bhajan ? This man who thinks Hinduism is more patriarchal than the fine universal religion of Saudi Arabia ??? Thank you o fine intellectuals for giving Hindus your kind approval to indulge in our devotional life.
Would love to know Manmohan Singh's reforms
He may be reflecting the feelings of people supporting opposition parties.
Fareed why dont you be an unbiased Muslim... your home country is in tatters
We love modi..not at of us are uneducated.
He did not tap into Hindu pride, he resisted Hindu humiliation, but, that too not for Hindus, because Hindu humiliation is broadly humiliating India too. It has a history, colonial rulers conquered India also by humiliating Hindus, they seperated all that was good in India and claimed that to the non-hindu diversity, and projected everything that is unacceptable legacy blamed it on Hindus, and there by targetted Indian history for divide & humiliate. Now we see a resistance. That resistance is better accepted in north of India than in the south, because south could be much successfully indoctrinated by colonial logic, which was presented as if it were a progressive alternative .
Very correct assessment at the end. Captures the idea of being the Vishwaguru. You don’t have to be rich or powerful to do right and stand by your moral principles. India should lead the democratic world by doing things in the right spirit, outcomes are less important.
India was playing the NAM fiddle for 70 years. We did not go anywhere. We lost part of Kashmir to China. Pacifist are weak. That’s why America does not play pacifist politics. And now China is doing their own politics aggressively. Ultimately the winner takes all and the loser losses everything. So zakaria is saying India should be a loser! I do not want to vishvaguru India , but an India that makes difference in the world by doing the right thing by sama, beda and danda!
WE MUST ESCHEW THE DREAM OF VESWA GURU HOLIER THAN THOU ATTITUDE FROM USA
Very interesting analysis by Fareed bhai, I agree with him on most points! Modi ji promoting Hinduism and nationalism at the cost of Indian Muslims is not true! 🇮🇳
The very poor is getting more poor..
Garibi hatao first... which is very important
Half our country takes one meal only
In the past 10 years rising prices everywhere makes it very difficult for the common man's leaving. . .
The present government and the opposition together should civilize with each other and clean all the mess in the country first, instead of fighting for elections...
Journalists, media etc. should be debating about such issues... It's a shame they don't care for the very important issues in our country.
@@josephdsouza1515the poor is getting more poor? IMF confirmed India has lifted more people out of poverty and extreme poverty over the last several years.
Although Fareed is a good journalist but when it comes to being Muslim there is something awry. What does he want vision to be? Pander to muslims and let hem be rulers as was happening for past so many years. Modi's is visionary not tactical and his vision is economic prosperity , international standing coupled with Hindu identity.
this guy is namesake Indian but Pakistani at heart and one of the people pushing "fascist India under BJP, democracy under threat, hindus are oppressing muslims" type nonsense in western media. he's a corporate stooge and sings their tunes for the most part.
8:10 And that's where he starts showing his true colours!
Funny how easily they show their true faces and underlying hidden agenda.🙃
What about secularism in 58 Muslim-majority countries? How are minorities fairing there?
His understanding of india is poor
He doesn't talk about what other community doing in india.why he wants only Hindus to be tolerant and not others. Typical tutored interview
What Modi has done is unbelievable
Even a ‘so called’ accomplished journalist like Arif Z can’t shed his Muslim mindset which is anti BJP and anti Hindu. I don’t know why indian journos can’t ask questions that point to the tremendous progress made by India under Modi since 2014. I feel Mr Kanwal is ‘begging’ for Arif Z’s acceptance .. which is something that will never happen. Just look at the negative coverage by Westen Media on the Ram Mandir opening. Again - no news house wants to point to the facts - such as - Supreme Court adjudicated in favor of current status. Indian journos should develop not beg for acceptance from western journalists - even if it’s Arif Z who’s got indian roots.
@rahul kanwal
Ask him questions on
1. Why American Democracy gowing down. Why Trump is being tried to be disqualified.
2. Why are American printing Dollars and increasing debt.
3. Ask about Chances of Ramaswamy
You guys still asking about your country issue to American citizen is downgrading the country. Thats why your TRP is decreasing. No one india ur viwers interested in this interview
When will Indian journalist come out of colonial mindset of seeking validation from western biased media?
Farid should be the one asking Indian journalists about how they think about US politicians.
Fareed talks about how he wants india to become an open society. Now where have we heard OPEN SOCIETY before.(soros) He thinks we indians r idiots & we will welcome his idea of democracy.😂
FZ say something that Muslims are fighting Muslims these days in many countries of the world including middle east, Africa etc
Bloody why you asking India elections results for foreigners
Ab ise Hinduism ki tolerance dikh rahi hai
He is very selective, many statements with no hard facts; mere perception and feelings
It is only blind envy that can make someone say that the BJP leadership has not used their power for truly inclusive growth of India and all Indians, and has addressed the pride of Indians as Indians..not of Hindu pride.. and not seeing that it is its opposition that plays divisive, vote- bank politics...
And Indian youth realising and recognising the greatness of Rama is not a return to patriarchal religiosity but it is being inspired by the nobility of Rama's character.
Fareed is not dividing Indians. He is unifying it.....I am a BJP supporter and a Hindu. But Hindu means a lit of things.
I am very much concerned about the development of Indian Muslims as much as every Indian and so does all Indian Hindus and Indians.
We are Indians first.
Hindus are eight class citizens in India. In a Hindu majority land, bunch of muslim goons physically assaulted an interfaith couple. Hindu saints in Bhopal got Lynched. So if threat of Islam is so great that it actively involve in violence in a non Hindu majority, then it's only right to retaliate against that ideology which is bound to destroy every form of civility. Hindus don't even have the control of their own temples unlike muslims. Muslims can take any land as they please using the Waqf board. Hindus are eight class citizens in India.
Narsimha Rao , Manmohan Singh's policy was a policy of survival but Modi's policy is for excellence and vishwa guru . Something world class , extraordinary. Farid Jakaria and his aligners will never understand the value of this super man named Modi with the myopic lens.
Jai sri ram and jai hind.
Which national policy document makes Muslims second class citizen?
Farid Muslim biased is so obvious.
Ram Mandir is not only religion it's pride of indian culture.
Did he say anything new ? Not atall. Farewd is a bombay boy. He is as bad political astrologer as our salim bhai.
at World Economic Forum all he has to offer is about Modi Govt's handling of minorities... I mean seriously Zakaria??? That is your new level???
My support 😊
Jai Shree ram..only culture and tradition matter to us.
How can Zakaria know what is there in 1.4 billion people?
1:52 what more should Modi do to bring it to use it positively? Everytime there's mention of hindu pride the opposition jumps the gun. It's the opposition and muslims who should take it positively. At the end of the day rights argument is that even muslims are hindus civilizationally speaking (for lack of better word, even 'sanatan' is being demonized now). Hindu nationalism is more than just faith, hinduism is honestly quite accepting of other faiths
FZ is articulate. However a few points he needs to know. Indian women pilots... software engineers..agriculturists... teachers...doctors.. entrepreneurs... corporate workers are not to be compared with Saudi arabian domestic and blue collar workers.
It is not modi.but he understands the average Indian including you.
1. Opposition has much greater money reserves due to year after year of corruption.
2. Only money defines classes, definitely not religion or caste, in India or in most of the world .
Pretty simplistic assessments of Modi’s politics from an ace journalist - he should have listened to Prashant Kishor before giving this interview to Rahul Kawal.
Modiji is not promoting Hindu pride. he is promoting Indian pride. This has been undermined in the last 70 years. Israel with only 6 million people is teaching in Hebrew in its universities. But in India , with a billion people, even after 75 years, there is not a single engineering or medical college which does not teach in english. Even Ayurvedic medical colleges teach in english, when the references are all in Sanskrit. If certain sections have been manipulated by accusing of anti this and anti that, it is the fault of previous govts which have lost power and are now crying wolf.Both Yogi and Modi are under attack from vested interests, who would like the status quo. The status quo means corruption. When Narasimha Rao claimed we liberalized the economy as if they did some special favor, they do not acknowledge that they suppressed the indian economy for 50 years under "license and permit raj". China's rise has opened the eyes of indians.

I had so much respect for this guy. Today I feel he speaks as a muslim n western spokesman
I have always respected Fareed Zakaria! He has balanced views! He is right! Hinduism is one of the broadest religions in the world! It never disrespects any other religion! Just because Ram Madir was built it does not mean it will divide the nation! They took back the sacred land that was grabbed from them 550 years ago! But that does not mean they are going to kill every Muslim in the country! We have coexisted for 550 years!
In fact Hindus who were being suppressed by previous govts, now also are almost 2-3rd class citizens due to their policies of yester years!!
What a BS that modi cannot be larger than Nehru…dude…modi did not play. Nor tried to be what he is…he believes in what he does, honest and dedicated nationalist, with strong civilizational values
He left India long time ago, typical liberandu from the US. Only problem that what he is saying it rarely applies to India.
Why is he not cross questioning Fareed
1: he should have asked why does he think minorities are marginalized ?? All the welfare schemes are for every Indian …. If anyone is dividing India is the opposition ! North DNA vs. South DNA …. Opposition played religion in MP election !!
2: about foreign policy - why is US playing both sides with India - Pakistan ??
Don’t know why Rahul couldn’t ask these basic questions !
We Hindus are very tolerant and inclusive that is why all Abrahamic religions like Christianity and Islam are very much thriving in our culture .OUR TOLERANCE IS TAKEN TO BE A WEAKNESS BY THESE RELIGIOUNS TO CONVERT US AND OUR SANATHAN CULTURE
INDIA TODAY WILL WAKE-UP AND DO RIGHTS ONLY FOR THE BEST BHARAT. PRAY & HOPE GET THAT WISDOM.
This guy Fareed Zakaria looks like an educated guy but again his identity as a Muslim forces him to say that Modi should not divide India come on give me a break has he lived in india to see the divide between Hindus and Muslims. Hindus were oppressed Alene Congress used to rule but PM Modi has given hope and ray of light to Hindus all over the world that don’t feel ashamed in calling yourself Hindus and proudly say I am Hindu and prod to be Hindu.
Why can’t Fareed digest the fact that Modi is a great leader and it’s the best time for India ever! Stop this division nonsense and brace the good!
Lal Bahadur Shastri was also not an “elite PM”. Second, Modi is not dividing the country. I don’t understand why the leftists can’t accept the reality even after so many things that had happened since 2014 !

Fareed Zakaria makes allegations against Modi and Hindus but does not explain why he has come such views..
Ch zakaria it would be beneficial for you and your community-to stop the violence and leave Hindustani Bharat Desh for its own people..we sre s peaceful naton snd people!!
Fareed has an indian equivalent,manishankar aiyar; woke, elitist and he would be happy alloting a tea stall to modiji,but too smart to say so openly.let modi and trump come back with vivek as V.P. and soon fareed will have a tea stall all his own.good luck fareed and mani i hope to visit your tea stall.
