Does anyone hear me?
People do hear you and Thapar too. Thanks to democracy.
Democracy is the reason Thapar was able to question Modi like that in the first place. The other forms of govt do not afford people that luxury.
Democracy is not 'right' only when it suits ones own world view. What is right in a democracy is that you can express your world view even no matter what those in power say.
Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I am not advocating "to give up"... there are cases in the courts and they should be taken to their logical conclusion ..... last month we had a judgement in one of the rape cases and that was a victory of democracy .... surely what needs to be done has to be done .... but then you dont have to harp on it everytime you discuss the issue ..... he is an elected head of government and judge him on his performance of governance .... as regards the riots .... for me he is presumed inocent till proven guilty ... if that holds true for a common criminal it holds true for him ...... let the law of land take its course. I am not advocating that let bygones be bygones but at the same time you cannot push someone to apologize.
Conspiracy ...
Has it ever occured to you that it could Modi & his men? They themselves could have brought up Godhara again right before Election.
Suddenly everybody was talking & questioning Modi and now only thing that we see is Old Videos & Interviews. KT will have problems in looking into his eyes till next election.

You dont need to go way far ... Go ask people in Pakistan and you'll get to know what is FAIR & what is UNFAIR.
Everybody, including Media, has used Godhara to get quick recognisation.

I don't mind being referred to as FANATIC as long as my excessive zeal is for each soul that has sufferref( be it Hindu or Muslim or any other).No words are 'Gems' unless we beleive in them.Here are some more from the same man:
Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.
The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see.
The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.
and at last but not the least
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
Chill

I though that was a fortune teller ....... but i surely agree that only a politican "can "tell you "why it didn't happen".
The question os how far do we look .... 1947, 1847 or 1100's ..... we have to move on .... and once again i dont mean to leave this issue unresolved .... this is being taken up by the courts and should be handled that way
