For the solar eclipse on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wore designer sunglasses — Maybach Diplomat-I with Carl Zeiss lenses, similar to the pair he wore to China in 2015. These spectacles, which bear the logo of the German carmaker, cost more than $2,159 online, whose rupee equivalent is above Rs 1.5 lakh.
“Most welcome... enjoy!” is what the Prime Minister told someone on Twitter who had commented that the photograph Modi had tweeted (below left) would turn into a meme.
The following are the sartorial high points of Prime Minister Modi, who recently said violent protesters can be identified by their clothes:
