Narendra Damodardas Modi (born 17 September 1950) is a right-wing Indian politician who has been Prime Minister of India in 2014. He has been described as a "semi-fascist" leader.[1]
Political career
Before becoming Prime Minister of India, Modi led the state of Gujarat and supported a pogrom that killed over 1,000 Muslims.[2]
