The tone and profound bullshittism in this passage makes it perfect for RC section of a CAT paper. A confused writer makes it difficult for the test takers to comprehend anything and thats what makes cracking CAT so tough

hahaha ..u r right pal ....some writers insert some high sounding english words to make the essay look complex .....
While there is NO doubt this is an interesting perspective on morals in Indian context and thereof, it is rather simplistic to attribute Modi's meteoric growth merely to contextual morality abberations. The support and over-bearing persona that Modi commands today across the country is NOT merely a fascist response to liberal-centrist. It is culmination of the utter callousness towards the majority's perspective in the name of secularism. It marks the inflection point where minority appeasement ala the Nehruvian Kashmir policy does NOT cut anymore.

If that were the case, the BJP would not have lost the general elections 2004. After all they came after the 2002 victory of Modi.
The point is Godhra and Gujarat riots define Modi. When everyone was against him (not personally but as a symbol), he went on to win a massive share in assembly. That gave him the aura of invincibility.
He is a 'god' of circumstances much as Indira Gandhi was at her time. In the absence of a religiously polarized elections, he is barely clingling on to his majority (if at all).
In any case, the article is deeper than Modi and not only about him. It is one of the better ones rediff has put up in a long time.

barely clinging on..??? hello do you think the Govt at center has clear majority?? Mr.Prakash karat will be very disappointed to hear that..!!
BJP loosing the 2004 elections had several reasons NOT to forget the complete lack of ground level co-ordination down south and the anti-incumbancy in AP. It was a sham that UPA along with the left has heaped on this country. Don't even mention it.! its a shame.!!
Wonderful piece of ingenuous arguments, digging up Archbold, the Muslim Leaque and all other mundane figures of history, lying quietly in their graves. Why distrub them now? People have quietly forgotten them as we so tritely mention that human memory is short! Why, we do not even remember Gandhi and his teachings so why should we even remotely ask "a million questions from Archbold" only to prove that after all we are not immoral people, just amoral - not bothered about absolute morals!!!!

Rajesh Puttar, people have not forgotton the Muslim league. Ask any body who live in the area where Muslim League is still active, it is still working for breaking Akhand Bharat into akhand tukras.
We may blame Modi for his deeds or misdeeds. Probably he will repent on his deathbed for what he did to inncoent muslims based on misinterpreted information. But definitely we do not want Americans and britishers to teach us morality. We have seen enough of theier morality. Modi as an Indian is much better person compared to them.

You sound pathetic Indian. Why should Mr. NaMo (Narendra Modi) or any one of us who stand by NaMo should ever repent on our deathbed. What crap are you talking? Do you mean to say all those Congressies who set our brave Sikh brothers alight in 1984 would be repenting in their deathbed? All those Pakistani bhastards who set alight Sabarmati Express on fire with women, children and old people inside, will they be repenting in their deathbed? NaMo is nothing but the whirlwind which the anti-Hindus sowed singing Raghupathi Raghava Rajaram, Secularism bewakoofon ka naam.
This guy TCA Srinivasa Raghavan used to write sense in the past. Perhaps he has also been possessed by the secularist demon. 'slamic terrorists will not disappoint us. Sooner than later they would by one other of a terrorist act exorcise him of his secularist demon. Come on Cheenu Raghava, say NaMo NaMo. That is where the security of Hindus lie.

People like Aurangzeb and Modi never repent for what they did. Maniac's brain never function in that way. They should be condomned and punished in their living time itself. Aurangzeb fellow has escaped to history but let not Modi escape. And for Indianness, let us not closs our windows to foreigners. India has become a mature civilization by blending others idea with it's own. Let's be universal in true spirit.

If you check the fact, Mr. DC DGP, Modi's anchestors are Mangols. Chengis Khan has a direct link with Modi.
Fine article. First time i have read something on Modi issue put in a very different perspective. Food for thought. I would appreciate if you mailed me a copy of the Ramanujam essay too.

This is a message from a person who wants to put hinduism in a bad light and taste. I do not know which religion you belong to but definitely you cannot be a Hindu.
Author talk here about Absolute Morality and Contextual Morality. But the real question needs to be asked is whether there is any Morality left? If you ask me I will say 'Absolute No'
Whe you write so much big bang theory, have you anlysed whether what this foreigner says is correct? Did we see mral absolutism with Britain and US. They have always shown opportunistic moralism. In India we are not opportunists. We have more mral absolutism compared to them. It is true we react to the issues rather emotionally rather than rationally. We many times think from heart rather than from brain. Probably this is more correct. But this is not a weakness of India. This is the strength of India.
Yes it is true. Modi is the product of combined effort of liberals, conservatives, fascists, communists and every other man jack of us. That is why he is so abnormal. When a new born is abnormal we try to cure it. If it is non curable we honour it the mercy killing. Mr. Modi deserve exactly that. He is not curable. So he must...........

You are wrong to the core. Today Born Abnormals are treated as 'Specials'. So, Modi must be treated as specials. Given a special status. Why no one is talking about the dangerous caste play of Congress? of CPI or of Muslim Leagues?
Prepare a chart, put each parties in a chart, plot the evils and goods of each party, you will feel like worshipping Modi when comparing to SONIA, KARAT, BASU, Etc

Sorry Mahesh Puttar, I can't do so much of home work. You do the job and I will pass the judgement. And mind you my judgement will be for fun only. Because like most of the Indian I too care a little for the history. I am a common man. I check who is giving me maximum benefit today.
