A deeply disturbing aspect of Narendra Modi‘s domination of the public discourse is the amount of “goodwill” he appears to generate among “decent” and “educated” Indians, not just in India but across the world, despite the blood on his hands and that trickling down his gleeful mouth. Deeply disturbing, because it bodes ill for our democracy, not just in Gujarat but across the country, in the near to medium term.
Seemingly pious people, with vedas and upanishads on their lips, seem inclined to ignore, even forget, the bestial massacre of 2002 as a minor, even necessary, aberration. Gandhians who aver “an eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind” in anguished letters to the editor, say the Hindu hitmen did the right thing after Godhra. Supposedly cosmopolitan types speak as if the economic, social and now even electoral boycott of Muslims is a good, even right, thing to show “them” their place. Those who abhor generalisations, seem eager to buy into his demonisation of all Muslims as terrorists.
When Modi screams vacuously that Gujarati asmita is being targetted by those who question his actions; when he shouts that the land of Gandhi and Patel is being defamed; when he cocks a snook at the human rights commission and the election commission; when he makes fun of Miyan Musharraf and James “Michael“ Lyngdoh; when he walks out of media interviews; when he says Sohrabuddin deserved what he got and that he is ready to hang Afzal Guru if the Centre cannot, there are many who silently applaud his belllicosity.
So what, they say, look at the “development” in the State, the 12 per cent growth; the “Gujarat Model” is what the nation should adopt. Result: a hate-monger who plays on the deepest fears and fantasies of his people, and who stands for everything Hinduism doesn’t—intolerance, hatred, exclusionism—has not only attained an air of acceptablity but is being touted as “prime minister material” by the likes of Arun Shourie. Voters in Gujarat do not have too much of a choice considering that many of those plotting his downfall were those who propped him up and took part in the bloody revelry.
But…
But, if you are a voter outside Gujarat and if somebody of the noxious notoriety of Narendra Modi was the chief ministerial aspirant in your State, would you vote for him given his record, his reputation, his statements, his arrogance, his venom?

=========================
today, a in december, the intelligencia has a problem. modi could potentially get elected the 3rd time. this goes against the essence of their being and they cannot bear the pain.
so today they make a call to the people- please, in the name of vedas and upanishads and in the name of secularism please donot vote for him.
yet, the entire year (forget the past five years) they spent pissing on secularism. the entire year they spent needling, taunting and engineering hindu minds, while keeping mum to the exact same issues amongst non-hindu people, more importantly ignoring their genuine concerns or mocking such concerns. how can you say ram is a myth they were asking and the media went, but ram is not even worshipped in the south and fishing for caste and other sundry divisions.
today, they cite gandhi, dear hindus eye-for-eye will make us all blind. yet they say, you have to “understand” at godhra, “they were provoked”, “they attacked women” and on and on. why dont you quote gandhi at godhra?
wait din’t some worthy declare that he cannot think of gandhi as the father of the nation because it is against his beliefs? and nobody lost sleep.
the problem is really the credibility of the intelligencia. sure you control what is fashionable and what is not and lead people where you want to go. but that is not so easy. to be able to lead people where you want them to go, you must be seen to be credible, reasonable leaders who are at least seen to have some sense of fairness and balance.
now i know, the explaination that will come in the aftermath, capitalism has fueled the tendency of the people to lean right and has disenfranchized minorities. really?
is it a call center’s fault that it cannot use madrassa syllabus? is it the markets fault that definition and implementation of secularism has been so skewed that most people have become disenfranchised with the idea? the fault is never theirs always somebody else. the problem is that this is such a laffable proposition because they control all aspects of public life in india. all this is happening under their lordship. they have failed.
first change the definition of secularism. either let govt control all faiths and let intelligencia question all faiths or lay off them all. i pray to a tree you call it animalism and blind faith somebody does it to a rock it is faith? either have the balls to say all faith is blind, or hold your peace and stop discriminating between them.

Going by your argument, let me take it further:
That way it can be argued that the Christians in India are more educated than Hindus and reproduce lesser. If they grow by conversion – let them, after all that doesnt increase the population and by education may only lessen it.
Of course that is bullshit.
You think controlling one section of the population based on religion is enough?
The real danger for all of us is the Indian population is growing at a rate way too troublesome to any other success we are achieving as a nation.
It is to do with education and poverty again. Poor people in India breed at a faster rate – be they Hindus, Muslims or Christians. Just look at the difference between North and South India (discounting the migrations). Immaterial of religion.

The fear of muslim population is well bought out. Right now, Bangalore is under the cusp of a mass migration movement with folks from all over India flocking in to Bangalore creating a demographic imbalance and unforseen hazards of all sorts. Just because, we say that the demographic imbalance is worrisome does not mean, that the way forward is to terminate all people moving to Bangalore. It is to ensure that India develops in all cities to prevent this mammoth demographic change.
The case in point for Muslims is also same. Muslim population is increasing at an alarming rate, much faster than any other religious identity. The reason is not because Muslims are poor, infact if you divide India in terms of religion, then the average Hindu earns almost the same as the average muslim. Poverty is not a reason. It is the refusal to accept Indias family planning strategy and the purposeful curbing of womens education by the Muslim community, thus preventing muslim women from understanding the pros and cons of this affair. Case in point is about Polio drops which are overwhelmingly shunned by the muslim community for fear that it is a Western plot to make the muslim men impotent. Such ridiculous and outrageous acts are and must be condemned.
The alarming growth of muslim population is dangerous. Case in point is West Bengal. Please read about the exact issues in the Nandigram tragedy. You will realize the problems.

According to Tehelka, “On the morning of November 26, 2005, the Gujarat government had claimed that Sohrabuddin was planning to eliminate Modi. In a FIR filed the previous day, they had claimed the following: “On 25.11.2005, at 11.00 hours in the night, ATS Police Inspector NH Dhabhi received secret information that Sohrabuddin has come to Ahmedabad from Surat and today (26.11.2005) morning on a motor cycle he is going to pass from Narol Circle to Juhapura Sarkhej of the city…” The FIR continues to say that Sohrabuddin shot at the police party instead of surrendering and thus got killed.”
“The truth: Sohrabuddin and his wife Kausar Bi had been picked up from a Hyderabad- Sangli luxury bus in the middle of the night on November 23. Vanzara and his deputy, Rajkumar Pandiyan, had intercepted the bus. The statement of Pandian’s personal Assistant Constable Ajaykumar Bhagwandas Parmar was recorded by the inquiry team headed by IG Geetha Johri. He told the inquiry officer that at around 4am on November 26, he was instructed by Inspector Dhabhi to bring a Hero Honda motorcycle lying in the backyard of the ATS office to Narol Circle… DIG Vanzara, SP Pandian and Udaipur SP Dinesh MN were already present there. After a while, a Maruti car pulled up and DY SP Parmar and Inspector Chaube emerged with Sohrabuddin. Sohrabuddin was pulled out of the Maruti car by inspector Chaube and was thrown onto the road.” He was then killed in cold blood by the police team.”

Dear churimuri,
Dont be troubled with the kind of comments you have recieved. It is lack of life purpose that makes a man a communalist. Such people have more time to comment, hence most commententators are communalist. However, most Indians are not.
These types claim they admire Modi coz he has given strong growth. However this can be seen to fig leaf for their communalism becoz:
1. They say the same things about Hitler too. If you ask them however, to name the Prime ministers of Japan in the 60’s and 70’s, they could not, despite the stong growth Japan had then. This is bcoz they worship not growth but mass murder.
2. Also, while worshiping Modi, they should be voting for Manmohan singh and Sonia at the Center, for the strong growth seen in their tenure. This combination of voting patterns is rare, you will agree.
Actually, this claim of strong growth in Gujarat is itself bogus. If you see trends of Personal Income Tax in Gujarat, it’s growth rank is lower than earlier. This is becoz most growth is due to capital intensive projects such as refineries and ports that are not owned by people residing in Gujarat. Local middle class income growth has been hit due to the weaness of modern industries such as entertainment, IT, etc. For these industries to grow as they have in states such as Maharashtra, they will have to invest in higher education, not mass murder.
