‘Modi wants to beat Coronavirus with utensils,’ John Hopkins ‘Economist’ mocks Indians, gets slammed brutally

Steve Hanke’s Twitter bio states that he is an ‘applied economist’ at the Johns Hopkins University, apart from being a Senior Fellow, and director of a project called ‘Troubled currencies’. In contrast to his vile and hateful personality, Hanke’s likes to call himself a professor.

Off late, Steve Hanke has found a leisure pass time, to mock Hindus, Indians and PM Modi. Basically, the man despises anybody from this land who is proud of his/her culture. As a result, when millions of people resoundingly stood out at 5pm last Sunday and blew conch shells, rang bells and utensils and clapped following an appeal by PM Modi to do so, in order to thank all those people who were leading the fight against COVID-19 in India, Hanke’s was particularly disappointed. It seems the man could not fathom how PM Modi, who he thought to be a divider on religious lines, could unite the entire country with one clarion call.

The ‘Professor’ went on a rant against India and PM Modi, something we now believe he must be regretting.

For this absurd tweet, trying to build a narrative that PM Modi had asked citizens to do so in order to ‘defeat’ the Chinese virus, Hanke’s was thrashed left, right and centre.

While PM Modi had clearly stated that the people shall come out and thank the unsung heroes of India, Hanke’s conveniently chose to ignore the same and attempted to spin a deranged rhetoric. Just to put things into perspective, the same man turns out to be a deep admirer of Jinnah, as is clear from the tweet below.

Steve Hanke’s derides India and its efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic on a priority basis. The tweet mocking PM Modi and Indians is not a first of its kind. In fact, the man’s entire feed is dedicated to daily bashing of Hindus and Indians, and the culture of this land. How an ‘economist’ is so concerned about subjects not related to his field of expertise is again something which needs to be pondered upon.

Steve Hanke is the classic white man who’s hate for Indian civilization is deeply entrenched within him. To validate this hate, the man makes use of an already biased international media ecosystem, thus making his views look notable. Remove the lavish articles and vocabulary from the equation, and what will remain of the man will perhaps be unworthy of being called a ‘professor’.
