Narendra Modi : Mega Discussion Thread

Had a quick glance at Lance Price's book on Modi and found it fascinating on many levels.

Firstly, Modi's 2014 campaign was astonishingly impressive. He appeared at 5,857 events, many of them via holographic transmissions that had him addressing villagers live in 100 locations at once. His first national TV interview of the election campaign achieved the highest TV ratings in Indian history.

Then of course the book talked about Gujarat 2002. I understand why its still such a sore spot for so many Indians and Indian Muslims. Human Rights Watch did a report in May 2002 and found there was some forewarning of violence from within the police itself. Additional DG of police G. C. Raigar, had provided intelligence ahead of the Godhra incident that VHP volunteers were moving in and out of Gujarat and could instigate communal violence. He was removed from his post.

What I will say to Modi supporters who say "just get over it, it was 13 years ago" - you have to remember how bad the violence got. On February 28 at least 65 people were killed by a 5,000-strong mob that torched the entire locality within minutes. Women and girls were gang-raped in public view before being hacked and burned to death. You can't expect people to simply forget those things, and if one thought the Chief Minister of the state failed in his duty to protect his people, or worse was complicit in the violence then you can't expect them to simply move on and forgive him.

However Modi's relationship with Muslims is more complex than I thought looking at it from an outsider. One would think that after Gujarat, he'd be persona non-grata amongst Muslims. Not so.

In the town of Salaya in Jamnagar 90% of the population is Muslim. For the 27 seats at stake at the 2013 municipal elections, the BJP put up 24 Muslim candidates who were all successful and BJP governed the town for the first time. Congress which has won the town elections for decades did not win a single seat. There appears to be Muslim voters who are willing to look past 2002 and Modi's record of development has been a massive factor in his success.

Its a really informative book and definitely recommend it to everyone.

What did the book say about the burning of Hindus at Godhra?

From the brief glance through the chapter he basically talked about how VHP volunteers had been going back and forth from Godhra train station to Ayodhya for weeks and trouble had been brewing with the local Muslims.

He didn't go into specifics or who was to blame but like I said, only had a brief chance to look through the book, I do want to know more details about the sequence of events which has been disputed.

The flash point of the issue was when the Hindus were burnt in that train.The Muslims of Godhra were incited and they went and burnt a whole bogey of Hindu pilgrims coming back from Ayodhya.That incited the Hindus and the riots started.The courts have also ruled in this matter that certain muslims had planned and executed that attack.

There is no doubt that an attack took place(apart from burning there was stone pelting etc) and that a mob of muslims executed the attack,the dispute is whether the burning was intentional or accidental.

Another point that people forget that in the riots that followed around 300 Hindus also died apart from 800 Muslims.

Dont see how the Irish are oppressed in any way. Power sharing in Northern Ireland, peace in the island and overall a pretty decent place living wise.

Economically we're not doing great true, thats all the more reason to roll out the red carpet when the leader of a nation of 1.2 billion english speaking people arrives, especially when both nations invest a couple billion in each others economies, not to mention Ireland and India have historically been allies due to our combined efforts for independence. Hell India's 4th president V.V Giri was expelled from Ireland when he was a student studying law due to his involvement in the Easter Rising. Modi's role in the Gujarat riots is not our concern and is for other parties to uncover and solve.

And to be honest I dont think most people would even have known about the riots, I didnt until I signed up here.

Rupert Murdoch is a right wing nut who owns some of the most garbage media establishments in the UK. Having his endorsement while important to Modis portrayal in the media isnt exactly a glowing Character reference. India is an economic powerhouse of course western leaders will try buttering Modi up. A lot of Indian companies are keeping the manufacturing industry alive in many western countries e.g TATA. Makes sense for them to invite Modi over. Whatever happened to Gujarat is irrelevant. Western countries have been in bed with much worse people than Modi. Saddam Pinochet Mubarak etc a long line of mass murderers. And tbh outside of Pakistan and India the Gujarat riots are not that well known. General public in West have little knowledgr of it nor do they care.

To be sure, most educated people in the US cities (and I bet in other countries too) don't know nor care about riots happening in a country on the other side of the world; there is too much c**p going on in the name of religion and politics in the world for people to be concerned about anything other than what affects them directly.

I still don't get why people in this forum get so riled up about Gujarat riots (not trying to troll anybody, just trying to understand here). There are more Muslims killed by Muslims in the name of Shia- Sunni differences (Iran, Iraq, Bahrain and now Syria, Yemen etc), but don't see people here similarly worked up about that.

CORRECTION!

Modi could go down in history as the most unpopular politician of all time like Hitler.

Hitler's genocide overshadowed all of his great achievement for past Germany, similarity, Modi's genocide will overshadow all of his potentially great achievement for India.

That shows genocide cannot be tolerated no matter what, never has in the history of mankind and never will in the future.

Health be kind, Modi's peak my last good 10 years or so after which you really never know. People you mentioned, with all due respect half of them weren't nearly as popular and charismatic during their tenure with a global appeal that Modi already has in only 1 year of interntaional politics. PP is one place where Modi is ridiculously underrated and hated. He's turned into a global phenomena in 1 year, no leader has done that.

Modi in US: Patels, Sikh group protest outside UN during Indian PM's speech

Some members of the Patel community and a Sikh activist group protested outside the United Nations headquarters in New York during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech on Friday.
Around 200 members of the Sikhs for Justice group, which is demanding a referendum in Punjab for a separate State of Khalistan, protested outside the UN building at the time of Modi's speech during the Sustainable Development summit.

Several members of the Patidar community from Gujarat, Modi's home State, also protested at the venue against alleged police atrocities against Patel youths who are demanding reservations in government jobs and academic institutions.
The Patidar members protested despite appeals from Patel groups in the US to not raise the issue on foreign soil.

The Patel community's protest in the US were said to have been called off earlier this week before the Indian PM's arrival in New York.
However, members sporting slogans of the Sardar Patel Group that is spearheading the movement carried out a protest at the UN, though in small numbers, according to the Press Trust of India.
On the other hand, many members of the Patel community held a welcome rally for the Indian PM.

if India does hold a referendum in Punjab I can pretty much say with surety tht the Khalistan movement will be routed and then even the die hards will not be able to raise it up ever again. Unlike Kashmir where there is a likelihood of India losing out in a referendum no such threat exists in Punjab

Its easy to ask for Khalistan from abroad similar thing was done in 1984 as well but an average Sikh living in India doesn't only belong to Punjab but is spread across India, Nanded Sahib(Maharastra),HemKhund Sahib (Uttrakhand) are few of the other holy places of Sikhs and they have major populations across these cities.
The Punjab Association in Chennai every year thanks people of Chennai for their help when they moved after partition.
But they have every right to ask for justice which has been denied imo as i see Jagdish Tytler enjoying himself somewhere in Bihar.
 
Whenever you meet a Khalistani, just utter one name and see him go crying to mommy -

Punjabi's hate Punjab state government more than Indian Central government.

Punjabi's don't have a single credible political leader.

Congress and Akali/BJP alliance are ruling the state by rotation. New player AAP has no credibility, too fickle.
 
Lol at the dumbasses hoping and praying for Khalistan movement,

The depths you guys can sink to is laughable!!

Punjabis dont need a separate country .. we already have two offshore states:

Kanedaa and other smaller one is our Englaaaand!! :D

In KPG Gill, we had a daring Sikh soldier putting in place his fellow rural sikh youth. Just like with Islamic terrorism, Khalistan movement composed mostly of the rural belt with just a few bitter intellects at the helm. Majority of the sikh intellectuals rejected and rubbished the Khalistan movement from the word go and it is for that reason the whole idea died out. They got brutally rejected and booted out.

For Kashmir and for other troubled parts of India, we needed more muslims to stand out like Brar and Gill stood out in Punjab. Unfortunately that never happened and it for this reason Sikhs are far more respected as a community in India than muslims or christian. Sikh soldiers and intellectuals' contribution to this country is IMMENSE. It is rather unbelievable how they can distinguish the right from wrong without letting religious affiliations blind them.

Last time Sikh politics was relevant and fought for genuine social cause was before Bhindranwale movement started. Post Bhindranwale, the sikhs have got divided and drifted way off track. While we should have debated development and education, we debated the security of khalsa from 80s to as long as the last decade which is a total shame. I'm glad the khalsa in danger BS has somewhat died out in recent times and more and more Punjabis have started questioning the sincerity of Akalis and other so called sikh leaders. The akal takht, shromani gurdwara committee i'm sorry to say, while happen to be top sikh establishments are all a massive joke and have never raised proper issues at the national forum rather than bickering about khalsa in danger BS.

From one of the most influential and powerful states in the 60s and 70s Punjab has turned into one of the least influential and slowest in terms of development. If only the rural sikh youth had cared about education and development rather than wasting it all on stupid khalistan cause.

Sikhs in India are probably the most patriotic amongst all communities. Those comparing the Khalistan movement with Kashmir actually have no idea what they are talking about. Perhaps Sikhs in the UK or Canada would prefer not to be part of India but I've never met any so I can't comment.

You are insinuating Sikhs fully back Akali Dal, which is totally wrong. Akali's have given tickets to Hindus and Muslims and they have won.

At present, SAD has 10 non-Sikh MLAs in Punjab Legislative Assembly.

1. Sarup Chand Singla
2. Joginderpal Jain
3. Des Raj Dhugga
4. Vaninder Loomba
5. Avinash Chander
6. Pawan Kumar Tinu
7. Nand Lal
8. Mohinder Josh
9. Parkash Chand Garg
10. Nesara Khatoon (Farzana Alam)

More Non-Sikhs won on Akali ticket compared to BJP+Congress combined.

It's the Punjab Congress and Captain Amrinder Singh who wants Akali's to debate on 1984. Captain has always maintained that Badal betrayed Sant Harchand Singh Longowal. Badal never made any remark on 1984. Badal is most hated by Khalistanis, watch treatment of Akali leaders on Youtube.


Right now hate for Badal and BJP is at its peak. Everybody knows Akhal Takht works on orders of Badal's.

Your post is 100% wrong.

It's the Sikhs who voted for AAP, they won in Moga/Ludhiana/Sangur/Patiala. Malwa region of Punjab, Jatt land.

Religion plays no role in Punjab elections, number of seats won by non-Sikhs on Akali tickets is a testament to that.

It is Badal's Akali Dal, his personal property not the Shiromani Akali Dal of yesteryears.

Akalis are totally rejected by hindus and most of the educated urban sikh folks. Its a party thats come to power playing on rural sikh sentiments, fooling them by playing the panth card again and again and that is no secret. Its only recently that even the paendoo belt has got sick of the Badals, those idiots are the reason we've had 10 years of Akali govt.

Why wouldn't Congress call on Badal's bluff? The Akalis have betrayed everyone, be it the paendoo khalistani sikhs or the educated folks and entrepreneurs in the urban belt. People are sick of the Akalis right, left and center and Congress would leave no opportunity to expose Badals.

It used to till Simranjeet Mann's fanatics got pushed aside by Badals, probbaly the one good thing they did. Ever since all the extremists hate Badals just as much as they hate Congress.

Punjabi sikhs have got wiser over the years, even the rural belt nowdays are asking for development and jobs instead of voting on the name of Panth.
