Roughing It. Indian Pm Narendra Modi Surprise Guest On Bear Grylis
Narendra Modi surprise guest on Bear Grylls' Man vs Wild



The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, has been announced as the latest unexpected guest to team up with adventurer Bear Grylls for an episode of his survival show.

The intrepid duo travelled through Jim Corbett National Park - home to leopards, lions and elephants - in the northern state of Uttarakhand for Man Vs. Wild.

It will be broadcast on the Discovery Channel on August 12.

"Modi, who is referred to as 'the 56inch chest' by his supporters is an avid trekker and survivalist himself". Of course, he is. He has to lead bucolic bumpkins and village idiots of all parties through sane governance, it's like being a game keeper.
"For me, this show presents a great opportunity to showcase to the world India’s rich environmental heritage and stress on the importance of environment conservation and living with nature," he said.

"It was a great experience spending time in the jungle once again, this time with Bear, who is blessed with indefatigable energy and zest to experience nature at its purest."


The Jim Corbett National Park was established in 1936 and is India’s oldest national park. There are a total of 104 national parks in the country, covering 1.2 percent of its surface area.

However, animals that call the reserves home face on-going threats from poaching and deforestation.

Mr Modi has long been an advocate for India’s jungles and told Humans of Mumbai that he would regularly seek solace in the forests when facing stress during his career.

"This ? I shaft liberal scum with it."

#4 Compare it with Obama, who used his appearance with Bear Grylls to lecture us about melting glaciers.

#7 Uttarakhand, O Motherland roomy,
Your valleys resound, "Devabhumi!"
But there won't be much noise
With no girls and no boys
So the outlook for gods may be gloomy.
