SharpEdge: Modi brighter than his supporters. His Muslim outreach is calculated, Hindu oppression is rhetoric

PM Narendra Modi's Kuwait and UAE visit highlight how his outreach to the Muslim countries are of geopolitical strategic importance. Modi is often viewed as a Hindu nationalist, with his supporters espousing extremist views against Muslims, particularly in India. However, when Modi engages with Muslim leaders in the Middle East, his supporters praise the warmth and friendship, showing a stark contrast between their rhetoric and actions. This suggests a strategic political approach, where Modi's image is not as negatively impacted by his outreach to Muslim-majority countries as one might expect. Watch author & columnist Vir Sanghvi, explain in this edition of ThePrint SharpEdge, the reasons behind this.
