	Narendra Modi: dubious politics, good economics - AOL India News
		Modi's other achievement has been to crack down on corruption, which is inevitable in an economy of 'free lunches', where electric supply, for instance, is illegally tapped, and focussing on attracting investment and infrastructure.
		It is not impossible that Modi's success will enable the central government to revive the currently stalled process of reforms, considering that it is now obvious that growth is not only economically, but also politically, beneficial.
		Even if Modi's anti-minority bias and the reprehensible role of his government in the Gujarat riots of 2002 are to be deplored, his success in driving yet another nail in the coffin of 'socialism' and making the political class aware of the fact that capitalist economic growth is better than socialist stagnation are laudable.
