'HITLERESQUE' MODI

Not just the  Amabanis & the Tatas, but also Ford & General Motors have one thing in common, their love for Gujrat. This laboratory of Hindutava, headed by one the one & only Mr. Modi has found takers in industrialists of all hue & colours. They fall over each other, extolling the virtues of investing in this most ‘peaceful’ state of the country. This race to industrialize Gujrat is eerily similar to what happened in Germany during 1927- 33. Capitalists projected Hitler as their saviour, who could provide strong leadership, the very virtues that are being lauded in Mr. Modi by the Indian capitalists.

What is being touted as the reasons to overlook the genocide of 2002 & move ahead were the very basis on which the foundation of the Third Reich was laid & Hitler cemented his position.

As a journalist who has toured Gujrat extensively & has been to almost all the riot affected people in Ahemdabad & Godhra, it is frightening when people try to gloss over all that happened in the Gujrat pogrom & talk about moving ahead.

Does being a good leader absolves you of all your crime?

Does making Gujrat the most industrialized state of the country wipe your hands clean off the blood of 3000 people?

Does the politics of exclusion (the sham of ‘upvas’ now behind us) give you the legitimacy to stake claim as a national leader?

Answer these questions Mr. Modi & I assure that I’ll be campaigning for you in the next elections. As I said in my earlier blog I’ll prefer you over congress. Its always better to face an openly hostile man instead of facing someone who stabs you in the back.
