‘India’s Divider in Chief’, TIME Magazine’s Cover create controversy

TestHostEntry

New Delhi | American publication TIME magazine has sparked a controversy with the headline of its May 20 issue.

The publication May 20 issue read a headline called ‘India’s Divider in Chief’ with a caricature of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The cover is a part of the article by a journalist Aatish Taseer titled ‘Can World Largest Democracy Endure Another Five years Of Modi Government?” The cover has come just 2 years after the same publication called PM Modi, ‘Person of the Year’ in an online poll.

The article compares former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s idea of secularism with the prevailing social “stress” under Modi who “demonstrated no desire to foster brotherly feelings between Hindus and Muslims.”

The article has also recalled the Modi’s role in the Gujarat riots that allegedly claimed lives of scores of people. The whole article is based on the Hindu-Muslim relations and blames Modi for being pro-Hindu.

It is not the first time when the magazine has come with critical commentary about Modi. In its published article in 2012, the magazine described him as a controversial, ambitious and a shrewd politician.
