PM Narendra Modi Leads Third Most Trusted Govt in the World: OECD Report

Factors influencing whether we trust our governments or not include the state of the economy, political upheaval, and headline-grabbing events like major corruption cases.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi heads one of the world’s most-trusted governments with close to three out of four Indians saying they have confidence in the government, a new survey has said.

Factors influencing whether we trust our governments or not include the state of the economy, political upheaval, and headline-grabbing events like major corruption cases.

So India’s recent anti-corruption and tax-reform drive could help explain the high levels of confidence in the government.

The Gallup World Poll (GWP), the body that conducted the survey, uses a sample of 1000 people, and measures the trust on the basis of a single question.

The survey asks a direct question whether or not the people have confidence in their government, without specifying any part of the national government.

A recent Pew survey, conducted among 2,464 respondents, placed Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the top in terms of popularity, ahead of Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Pew said the public's "positive assessment" of Modi is buoyed by "growing contentment" with the Indian economy. More than 10 out of 10 said economic conditions are "good", up 19 percentage points since immediately before the 2014 election.

The share of adults who say the economy is "very good" (30%) has tripled in the past three years, it added.

Why Was Africa Called the Dark Continent?

Why Was Africa Called the Dark Continent? Email The most common answer to the question, “Why was Africa called the Dark Continent?” is that Europe did not know much about Africa until the 19 th century, but that answer is misleading. Europeans had known quite a lot, but they began ignoring earlier sources of information. More importantly, the campaign against slavery and missionary work in Africa actually intensified Europeans’ racial ideas about African people in the 1800s. They called Africa the Dark Continent, because of the mysteries and the savagery they expected to find in the “Interior ."

OPINION | Dear Congress, Either Join The Tea Party, Or Lose T-Shirt In Gujarat The BJP understands, as the Congress does not, that tea symbolizes all the fuzzy warmth of Indian culture. It is a great leveller — from the richest to the poorest, everyone drinks tea. Mahatma Gandhi famously took his tea with a pinch of salt. It was 1931, the Salt Satyagraha was a year old and his tea-serving host was the British Viceroy, Lord Irwin. Had the Indian National Congress recalled that little soupcon of history, it would not have put out a meme of a British Prime Minister ordering another Gujarati (PM Narendra Modi) to ‘go sell tea’. The Mahatma was no great votary of tea, but was a master of symbolism. Gently rubbing salt into the Imperial wound, he twinkled, “To remind us of the famous Boston Tea Party”. An exquisite reference to the genesis of American Independence, with the implicit promise of freedom for India. If only today’s Congress understood the power of symbols a tenth as well.
