DC Edit | India’s quest for peace evident in PM’s podcast
Deccan ChronicleIn a freewheeling podcast that was more interesting in those parts in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi revealed more of his past than has been his wont, there were things to learn about his passage from abject poverty to heights of political power, including about his days of introspection in the Himalayas and what insights he gained from being present at his father’s tea shop. As one of the more prominent leaders of the free world today in charge of a country with rising economic clout, there would have been people who have dwelt on his every word and the choice of a right-wing podcaster may have been appropriate given the PM’s political background. What emerged prominently from a long conversation was India’s cultural heritage and long role in advocating peace, in which the PM also believes strongly. Carrying as he does India’s heritage of a country’s people who mostly believe in living in peace, Modi was certain to denigrate the approach of Pakistan’s leaders as opposed to the people who may wish to live in peace. Modi’s vehicle for outreach to the people in the age of the social media might seem unusual and differ from most politicians’ love of the media conference mic, but his revelations in his two podcasts, in both of which he also spoke of the Godhra riots freely, offer more than just glimpses of India’s Prime Minister and his worldview.
