A recent headline in an Israeli newspaper Haaretz, fiercely independent and a critic of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, read, ‘India Under Modi Is Becoming a Brutal Authoritarian State’. Yes Haaretz part of an international conspiracy to discredit Prime Minister Modi? Modi and his supporters seem to think so.
