Critique:
Japan has offered India $35 billion of investments in the next five years and China, $20 billion. This
includes a Japanese offer of a bullet train between Ahmedabad and Mumbai and a Chinese offer of
cheaper and faster trains. Australia has proposed the supply of nuclear material and investments,

while the U.S. has promised investment in defence production and cooperation in defence ties and
energy. There have been offers as well of teaming up with Indian cities to make them clean and hitech, which would help fulfil Mr. Modis dream of creating 100 new/smart cities. (G00d) but how?
And is it sustainable and inclusive development? (http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/for-aplace-on-the-world-stage/article6485742.ece)
