What do you think about him?

Agreed. Modi's economic policies suck
>Members of his party(BJP) supported rapists who raped and killed a little girl in a temple.Member of his party raped a woman,killed her father when they filed a complaint and BJP tried their best to save the member.
Lies. There was no rape. That temple is single roomed and smaller than a bus

No only the poor ones do. That too very very little

Years ago people seemed to be all over him(like the canadian when he was elected)

i follow some curry journalists though and they all seem to hate him for being a hindu nationalist or something, him not caring about that muslim girl that was raped and murdered was a bit much tbqh

Pakistan historically had higher development and economic growth than India. But they stagnated since the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, due to the refugee crisis/terrosim it created and all the political chaos. That being said, despite having lower GDP on paper they still have lower poverty rates than India.

This might be more of a history question than something anyone can answer without specialist knowledge, but how much of what we in the west are told is an "overpopulation" problem with images all of the shanty towns around the huge cities actually a result of freedom of movement between Indian territories that might have otherwise kept their borders up and not attracted millions of poor from other states into their big cities?
Is this a problem of artificial migration and free trade within India or is it just misrule on the city level "refusing" to build good infrastructure to keep up with a population that is in itself sustainable and natural?

>an "overpopulation" problem with images all of the shanty towns around the huge cities.

Overpopulation is mostly a problem in poorly planned cities like Mumbai. Because, Mumbai is surround by hills that prevent it from naturally expanding outward like Delhi. India actually benefits from these crowded megacities. Its their main source of economic growth, since they're too incompetent to develop a strong manufacturing sector like china.

>Overpopulation is mostly a problem in poorly planned cities like Mumbai.
But my main question would be whether the "poor planning" is actually just the rulership in Mumbai being incompetent or malevolent for whatever reason, or a result of circumstances which the city might have not had to face in a different circumstance, such as in this case, the lack of impediment for poor Indians to up sticks and go to the city to compete for a tiny amount of jobs.

The same question asked differently: are the people in the overcrowded slums just the native poor of the cities who always lived there, and the government didn't plan for or fund their wellbeing, or did the slum-dwelling population come from outside the city and wreck the ability of the city governments to plan for this non-natural population growth?
Because in Ireland a fifth of the country lives in Dublin, and almost everything is decided by the city, even though most of the population growth of Dublin and the other cities is due to rural people moving to the cities.

Oh, and what do you mean when you say Delhi is benefiting from having crowded growth despite not having manufacturing?

It's both.

The government doesn't have money to build new cities and improve existing ones the way China does, and there are a lot of migrants from rural areas too.

India did'nt have proper communism, additionally it's not nearly as unified as China in terms of religion, etc.
