So the world is seeing what is written on the wall!

http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200904/india-modi

Quote:

Meet Narendra Modi, chief minister of Gujarat and the brightest star in the Hindu-chauvinist Bharatiya Janata Party. Under Modi, Gujarat has become an economic dynamo. But he also presided over India’s worst communal riots in decades, a 2002 slaughter that left almost 2,000 Muslims dead. Exploiting the insecurities and tensions stoked by India’s opening to the world, Modi has turned his state into a stronghold of Hindu extremism, shredding Gandhi’s vision of secular coexistence in the process. One day, he could be governing the world’s largest democracy.
by Robert D. Kaplan



I guess we will see more and more articles now on this topic. Though the author put things in nice perspective you can see the hidden agenda.

At one place he writes
Quote:

Today, much of Ahmedabad’s Muslim population remains sequestered in squalid relief communities that Modi once called “baby-making factories.”



And he admits the population of Ahmedabad as 4.5 million and Muslims are 9 percent of the population. Do you believe that about half a million people living in squalid relief communities?

There are many Muslim communities close to modi, especially Bohara and Khoja. No mention of them.

The real number of killings in the Godhra incident is under 1000 and about 35% of them are Hindus, but that is not of an importance to any.

I guess even after two election victories and 7 years of rule of Modi, yet the outsiders are not able to understand Modi and Gujarat.

His communal speeches and his role in instigating mobs to go on a killing spree in 2002 talk for themselves. That's evidence enough for any sane person to doubt his capabilities as a secular leader.

And what about the people of Gujarat?

Remember the communal riots stopped in just three days. Narendra Modi called Army immediately and that was the time took army to get deployed on the ground.

Just after six months of Godhara, Akshardham happened it was a pure Terrorist attack on the biggest Hindu sect in Gujarat. Not a single incident of violence.

Please learn to appreciate.

It is about people of Gujarat. The problem is, Modi and his supporters don't consider people from other communities living in Gujarat as 'people of Gujarat'.

Many diaries will tell you what happened in those three days. It was a total failure of governance while the hooligans were having a time of their life. I've stumbled upon some of his speeches on the internet and it made me sick to my stomach listening to them. How can one be so ignorant..and you have to be a bigger one to elect somebody like that to power.

You said it, it was a terrorist attack. Why do you think anyone did a favor to the minorities by not attacking them after the attack. Your statement, "Not a single incident of violence" implies that.

Yes, I do appreciate...life. Go figure!

Narendra Modi & Rajiv Gandhi are both genocidal mass murderers - Rajiv Gandhi arranged the anti sikh progrom - and Modi did the brutal anti muslim one - and pathetically they were both voted into power right after with landslide victories.

Shame on majority hindu electorate for supporting such rascals.


Varun Gandhi is walking in same steps - calling a muslim contestant Osama just because of his looks.
