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]

Modi came to power at the beginning of an economic crisis by blaming the crisis on the previous liberal government of Manmohan Singh. After taking power, Modi implemented neoliberal policies, decreasing employment and workers' incomes.[3]
