SIBY JEYYA
According to former German Chancellor angela Merkel's recently published book Freedom: Memoirs 1951-2021, she brought up the concern that "an increasing number of members of other religions, predominantly Muslims and Christians, were being attacked by Hindu nationalists" in india since prime minister Narendra Modi took office during their meetings.
 
When she brought up the topic with Modi, Merkel claimed that "he vehemently denied it and emphadata-sized that india was and would remain a country of religious tolerance." His denial is then fiercely contested by the former German Chancellor, who says, "Unfortunately, the facts said otherwise." She continues by saying that she still had "worries remained - religious freedom is, after all, a key component of every democracy."Modi was a huge fan of visual effects. Merkel recalls her initial encounter with Modi in germany in april 2015, saying, "Modi loved visual effects."
Modi followed up by describing his "election campaigns in which he'd spoken in a studio and had his image projected as a hologram to more than 50 different locations, where thousands of people were listening to him in each." During his 2014 general election campaign, Modi made use of the hologram.
 
"I understood his point": Regarding manmohan SinghThe former German chancellor also talks about her encounter with Dr. manmohan Singh, the former prime minister. She notes that Singh "was the first non-Hindu premier" of the nation and that his "primary aim was to improve living standards for the two-thirds of India's 1.2 billion people who lived in rural areas." Singh was a qualified economist with extensive international experience. This was equivalent to 800 million individuals, which is 10 times the total population of Germany.
 
"I learned more about the rising nations' concerns about us, the wealthy nations, from my discussions with him. According to him, we thought they would be very interested in our issues, but we weren't ready to show them the same consideration," she says. "I could see his point, and began to study more closely the challenges data-faced by the emerging countries."
 
Additionally, Singh informed Merkel about the cultural richness of his nation, which is a subcontinent with a history spanning over 5,000 years. Twenty-two official languages are recognized under the indian constitution alone. Its variety contributes to the nation's togetherness. india is more like the european union overall than one of its member nations in this regard. Singh and her had initially met in 2006.
