 "Note ban, Demonetisation")
The Narendra Modi government is different from all its predecessors, including Atal Bihar Vajpayee’s. Its pro-Hindu predilections are unmistakeable: For example, public worship at Hindu temples and festivals by the Prime Minister and others; “protect the cow” mania; subsidy for pilgrimages for the Haj now balanced by subsidy for Mansarovar; prosecution with a light touch of Hindus accused of terrorism; attempts to change education curricula, textbooks, faculty appointments, etc to bring a Hindu slant.
The differences from earlier governments are marked in the Modi government’s foreign policies, less so but clear in evolving economic policies and in its absence
