  • Approval rate of modi in morning consult is based on assumption excluding opinions of muslims , Dalits ,adivasi people ,people in kashmir , and mainly south indians . Also 65-75% approval is a blanded lie because it excluded a large section of indias non hindi/Urdu speaking population (especially dravidian language speaking group). The data for approval is based on data from indian state of Gujarat , uttarpradesh etc which are predominantly modi supporters base.

    Modi is in power only because of first past the post system, also dispite having the advantage of first past the post system which primarily helped Modi's party(Bharatiya Janata party ) , still he failed to get majority in parliament and made an aliance with regional parties like Janata dal United party and Telugu Desam party to win in 2024 election . That means this 65-75% approval rate is an assumption not the reality.

    Non citizens account a small percentage of indian population (less than 1% of total population) , Total eligible population for voting is almost 70% if we exclude children , 36.6% vote share actually comes from total number of voters that have voted despite 70% being eligible , that's why I said in my statement (2).

    So what i said is truth , only 16% of population voted for him . Also look how bad is it for a country which claim itself as democratic have the leader of its country with only just 16% of total population support or 24.3% of eligible voters support

  • Despite being called as world's most popular democratic leader, Modi's party and alliance only got votes from 16% of total population(in exact numbers :- 235,974,144 out of 1.4Billion people of which 70% of population were eligible for 2024 elections). If we look at the percentage of eligible adults: 24.3% voted for Modi's party . Factors causing this :-

    1. first past the post system instead of proporational representation amplies this issue . ( Despite opposition party getting 21.19voting %, they only won 99 seats in Congress/parliament whereas Modi's party with just 36.56 voting% won 240 seats)

    2)A large number of eligible voters not voting is also a reason

  • the 1949 Yangtze River Incident involving the HMS Amethyst is widely celebrated in the People's Republic of China as a major symbolic milestone marking the end of the "Century of Humiliation"

  • Yangtze incident, was a historic event that occurred on the Yangtze River for three months in the summer of 1949, during the late phase of the Chinese Civil War. The incident involved the Communist People’s Liberation Army (PLA), who were in the process of a river-crossing offensive to overthrow the Nationalist Government, and four British Royal Navy ships HMS Amethyst, HMS Black Swan, HMS Consort and HMS London. The British warships, whose claimed right of passage along the Yangtze had been unchallenged previously since the 1858 Treaty of Tientsin with the late Qing dynasty, came under bombardment by PLA artillery and were forced to withdraw permanently from Chinese territorial waters.

    The incident was described in the British press as a dramatic escape, while it has been widely celebrated in the People’s Republic of China as a milestone incident that marked the end of Western gunboat diplomacy in China and as one of the last nails in the coffin for the Century of Humiliation
