India changes hands, but how will it affect us?

// His victory comes despite controversy over links to the paramilitary Hindu nationalist group Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) - which some describe as neo-fascist.

As chief minister of Gujarat, Mr Modi was criticised for failing to apologise for religious riots in 2002 in which at least 1,000 people died - mostly Muslims.

However, suspicions prompted the United States to deny him a visa in 2005, while Britain maintained a diplomatic boycott on Mr Modi until 2012. //

With our right-on stance to Islam and the boycott of him until very recently this could have quite a serious impact on the UK, he is unlikely to be over the moon with us.

However the Indian stock exchange seems to think it will be good for India.

Well he's a strong and charismatic leader who irritated the US and consequently us by not really caring what their opinions were. That resulted in him being black balled by us for a quite a while and the US tried ridiculously hard to get him taken out of the picture by digging around for mass graves that weren't there - all to no avail. I think we will have to suck it and see, but he'll be economically good for India and even Pakistan favoured him as a leader because they believe he will be a suitable man with whom to smooth things over. He's the person India wants in any event so we have to respect that.
