I have never liked Modi but it looks like that position is changing now. This article has probably very lucidly pointed out why Modi is needed by Indians more than ever before. There is a sense of extreme disappointment with the self style secular politicians who do not desist from minority appeasement to get votes and in that process make Hindus unhappy. Modi has a sense of purpose and mission which is good for India - it is clear , uncluttered and progressive. He has identified the enemies correctly. Gujarat riots were a "kalank" but I think we have moved far beyond that. I think Modi will stop the muslim bashing bit once the voices of fundamentalist elements of minorities as muzzled forever. A nationwide ban on mass conversions is enforced, we will see insecurity in Hindus going away. Individual conversions which are a matter of personal faith can be permitted on special approvals to show they are genuine.

This comparison of Modi with Hitler is silly.Modi has many positive characteristics which Hitler could not have had.As individuals they are poles apart.Being a Hindu, he has certain values,which people of other faiths,including commies, will never comprehend or even if they do, will not admit, because they have their own anti-Hindu agenda, for which they use the naive/foolish,'secular' Hindus.So they will continue trying to vilify him,and in the process,unite the sleeping Hindus.

If Modi is Hitler, our very own Gandhi family is like Stalin (eg Indira Gandhi imposed emergency, killed innocent Sikhs for her political gains and when she died we all know what her son did -- killed more then 3ooo Sikhs!). I will prefer to have Hitler against communist Stalin!

hitler aimed for racial purity which he followed ruthlessly by murdering 6 million jews. jews in germany in 1940s were never a divisive force in german society. Judaism did not invade germany and then politically separate the country on religious lines after murdering millions of germans. jews were a positive contributing force to german development just as they were in any other part of the world. compare this to india. islam invaded india and murdered 80 million hindus-- our very own ancestors. muslims in india are a divisive 5th column just as they are in any other part of the world. even after partition they practice their separatist ideology in india. there was no need and justification even in the slightest terms for hitler to hate the jews. moreover nazism has been destroyed. whereas islamofascism which aims for a global caliphate on the lines of the third reich of hitler is very much active here. it is always like 'muslims want, muslims want, mslims want' hitler had personal delusions of grandeur as mentioned in his MEIN KAMPF. not so with modi. at the most he was an enraged man who may not have done much to prevent innocent people from being killed. but if you see in the grand scheme of things such overzealous retributions do recur in human history in reponse to sustained injustices and long pent-up frustrations.here islamists are responsible for such an explosive situation. don't be childish comparing what they ate and how they urinated. MODI is India's future.

While I am not a big fan of Modi, I fail to follow your line of thought. If this is an anti-Modi diatribe, which I think it is, then I think some of your ideas are counter productive. Last time I checked, isn't it a good thing not to be corrupt, to provide good governance to promote economic prosperity and also to practice ones speeches before delivering them! And what is your problem if he stays a bachelor or wants to be a vegetarian? The only debatable point is when you say he targets Muslims and blames them on the ills of the society and I think that is certainly not a foregone conclusion, it is still definitely a moot point.

You seem to be a Marxist,and marxists are fascists.So they simply accuse others of being fascists.Malaysia was a secular state,till the population became 51% muslim.Immediately it became an Islamic state and there was intolerance to Hindus.Hindu temples were razed to the ground,in the name of development. The truth is that Hindus alone are truly secular.But we should not allow ourselves to be brow-beaten by these congress-communist-'minority' nexus.Our tolerance is being used as a tool against us.For them,Hindus alone have to be secular!We must show these fellows that Hindus cannot be pushed around anymore.

For your information " Hitler was a vegetarian" is a myth(ref Maneka Gandhi's articles on vegetarianism which appeared in Indian Express years back.
because only he can save us all from extinction at the hands of muslim fanatics and those muslims who think that they can get jannat for killing us, long live bush & modi
Perhaps, the best article I have ever came across. Writer has touched the right nerve, which resuscitated a flame, which many of have inside ourselves but never have felt inside. Hope it keeps growing....day by day Let us show the world that we are not spineless, by keeping our head always high!
The attitiude of the pseudo secular print & electronic media against the BJP & against Modiji particularly is sickening to say the least. First, they were predicting a loss in the elections and the look on the face of 'BAK BAK BARKHA' once the results came out was worth watching. She was more disappointed than the Congress !. Now the media is out to somehow create a wedge between Modiji & the party itself saying Party needs him more than he does !. Nothing could be further away from the truth. BJP must strictly follow an agenda of Industrial & social development in the states governed by the party & emphasis on good vedic values. Make India a good Hindu society. BJP will win the next Lok Sabha elections with the support of like-minded Hindus as true seculars with equal rights for all religions & 'castes' !.

The role of Indian Media during the Election campaign is surely questionable. Indian Media is funded by Foreign sources or is runned by people who want to spread rumours and try to play with public feelings. Need to really appreciate people of Gujarat for standing by Modi side when he was projected as a "Maut ka Saudagar", Lair,etc. Vikram Samrat

Yes, kudos to the people of Gujarat! The foreign-funded,anti-Hindu,anti-national media has lost its credibility. We should reject them.They are just trash!
