This gentleman Bobby Ghosh. Does he have numbers to back his allegations on Demonetization..? I contradict on the statements made by Bobby Ghosh. I feel this meeting is not sending out a positive signal to the world. How many of you guys agree with me ?

[@skylark304]

Mr.Bobby Ghosh should not worry about NARENDRA MODI ,he will win 100%. He talks about anti journalist attitude of BJP ; Mr. ghosh would describe more the standard of indian journalists, the secular brigade , lalau Prasad's Bihari JOURNALISM ( I believe that MR. GHOSH is from BIHAR) . I also noticed that the lady was speaking about promotion of democracy by USA > WHAT else could be the most laughing stock more than that ? USA has the maximum number of BLACKs IN PRISON, A COUNTRY THAT USED SLAVE LABORS FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS , genocide of Hiroshima and Nagasaki calls itself the biggest promoter of democracy, where a president'S explicit language of "shithole" about countries like Haiti, El-Salvador and Africa is just appalling, unparliamentary , ARE THEY EDUCATED OR STILL LIVING IN CUCKOO'S WONDERLAND ?

Non-Indian experts looks at India-its pro's and con's but those conferences/debates/panels always have to have an Indian basically draw a dark/sinister picture of India while completely ignoring any good whatsoever. And they are usually communist leaning Indians which means they hate the capitalist leaning BJP/Modi. So how does one expect any balance at all in their views or perspective? What can anyone learn from the failed communist ideological approach to economy?(several example, including in India!)

[@yellowbird1170]

amitexo. America is respected because it is rich. India is poor. Respect is earned.

[@amitexo]

your comment is so random and senseless, i dunno how to respond to it.

[@sxgroups]

So true. Bobby Ghosh is a typical Modi bashing negative newsmaker, who conveniently glosses over all achievements and focus instead on wild and unsubstantiated allegations.

[@jajua10]

Personal hatred of Bobby Ghosh towards Modi in full display.. Difficult try to look balanced..

[@rahulray9983]

What else can you expect from a Former Hindustan Times Editor?

[@jayanthkumar7964]

When it is critique - it is personal hate, when it is praise, it is balanced assessment?

[@jayanthkumar7964]

What about when he praises India managing US-Russia relationships? Your personal hatred is also showing.

[@xjclk]

Ridiculously negative and ignorant comments by Mr Ghosh.

[@FoxbatOfficial]

Seriously Bobby Ghosh? Congress used Caste politics in Gujarat and you blame BJP? What happens to Desi's when they sit next to Gora?

[@jessyramond7241]

why is this fellow Bobby Ghosh is so negative about modi and modi led govt. He talks only negative even when the facts are otherwise.....

[@SANTOSH-tk9uj]

She knows than Bobby ghost. He is immature.

[@smiphel20lag72]

People throw stone at Bobby for his decent opinion , I don't know why . How do you expect India do not have any flaws what he said are all fact .

[@skylark304]

with all the criticism INDIA'S GDP is 6.7% (highest ) in the world. in USA, BLACK IS 13% and unemployment is blacks is 21%. 46 millions in blacks has only 3.6% gets college education and highest drop out and highest Drug dealing in USA. USA 's GDP is 2.4% AMERICA is biggest Military power but has slipped its economic power. please visit the most of the cities in USA and count the homeless people. highest in the world among developed world. Mr.Ghosh comes from the west Bengal , a leftist mind and sees ghost in MODI.

[@arjunbhatt749]

far from reality mr ghosh same retoric against india

[@iammuzan]

Bobby Ghosh, former Editor-in-Chief of the HINDUSTAN TIMES. The NDTV of printed world. You can fell his hatred towards MODI

[@SiddharthMalik]

Mr. Ghosh has missed many key achievements happened during #Modi govt.

[@bhramitaatma6026]

LIKE exposition of 2G scam,coal gate scam , chopper scam,Tatra truck scam, CWG scam,cash for vote scam , adarsh scam, IPL scam, satyam scam

[@sharanu1993]

Yeah, this American lady has more confidence in India than an Indian! This has been our problem and the disaster is people like Bobby Ghosh have lead this country all these years. While he credits economic stability to lower oil prices, completely forgets the previous govt gifted us a 7 lakh crore plus NPAs. None in my surrounding is jobless right now, if you really wanna work, you'll find a job. These has been the case since last 10 years. It's only these ppl like bobby who are jobless & get into businesses like journalism. And I bet this guy has an MBA.

OKAY ! wap.business-standard.com/article-amp/economy-policy/around-600-000-jobs-being-created-a-month-in-formal-sector-in-fy18-study-118011601086_1.html

[@praneyd.6464]

That's what happens when you don't have an Indian passport you don't have a grasp of things which are actually happening and have happened.

[@manijotsingh7190]

Very usa centric ... no discussion about Pakistan , india service personnel export , future opportunities ( Japan aging for example ) etc ... leave usa on the side it's not going to develope india ..

[@bonanza06]

Yes .. I didn't immediately read the included notes until later, and as the lady rambled on an on. it was like listening to CNN or the State Department spokes persons. Later. when I did read the notes, and saw that she was with the CFR, the controller of the State Department, I just had to laugh.

[@wyner2076]

USA is setting a big trap for India. Their wish is India n China go down together because only this two countries is their challenger

[@manijotsingh7190]

Cheng Sek fat agreed .. india and China constitute 35% of humanity and share very dark past .. if both countries could cooperate with each other it can make a self sufficient block .. due to immense resources ..

[@manijotsingh7190]

Also stabilize and control Indian ocean and Pacific .. no other 2 countries can do that ..

[@ravindertalwar553]

INDIA IS GREAT, STRONG, SECULAR AND LARGEST DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD BECAUSE INDIANS ARE SPECIALLY BLESSED, TALENTED, SMART, HARDWORKING,HONEST AND HUMBLE.

[@mohamedbinelias7357]

[@thecreator9913]

[@ravindertalwar553]

[@Ankit-lc9fx]

Bobby Ghosh describing 'karwa sach' in indian politics and society! Well done i like his concerns!👍

[@007DevilDare]

The same Congress Denied UNSC permanent Seat in 50s.... what's a Shame

[@kiky1998]

Thank you for the comments I skipped him(Nobby)

[@pifft4126]

I am going to leave

[@sxgroups]

After having listened to Alyssa Ayres, I find her to be far more balanced in the current status of India than the leftist and communist leaning scribes like Bobby Ghosh. Seriously, Ghosh, how negative could you be. Wake up! Modi is the best PM India has ever had and under him India has progressed more in less that 4 years than minority appeasing, divisive parties like Congress, and state based parties.

[@fdfdfdfdffjkhgjkgffhsfgkkf4564]

Alyssa ayers is well read on India
