Realistic attention
Mr. Norendra Modi said after he was sworn-in as the Prime Minister of India that the Indians were in need of toilets more than they needed temples. “So, latrines will be built first to save the health and environment in the rural India” he reminded a questioner. It was really a realistic attention since more than 60 percent Indians still do not have latrines in the rural areas.
Not only that, when he goes to any international conference abroad, he speaks of his dream to make an ideal India. In addition, he refrains from criticizing the Indian National Congress, which ruled the country most of the time since independence in 1947.
In fact, to censure own people abroad only damages one’s image and image of the country. We must avoid it from now on and give priority to portray a dignified image of ourselves and of the country before the visiting countrymen.
