Whilst I may not support what Modi did or professes, however we need him. Without the likes of him and Bal Thakery etc, there is no balancing force. You cannot counter extremism and fundamentalism with or a rationale and common sense approach. You need to have a strong deterent too - much like the nuclear weapons argument. And with Sonia & her troops pandering attitude toward minorites, the need for this deterant is even more imperative. I do not love Modi but therefore need to be supportive !

very well said..lets not forget..the biggest threat to the well being and harmony to the world is islamist fundamentalism..what happend in gujrat was nothing else but an answer to there ugly ways..all the terrorism thats happening in the world have muslim involvement in it someway or the other..they cant go on killing innocent in the name of islam and think they will be spared..all this so called intellectuals who do expose..how come they dont have anything to say when hindus were messacared in the hands of muslims in akshar dham, parliament, delhi and mumbai chain blasts..why just one isolated incdent in Gujrat is getting so much lime light when the whole world is getting butchred at hands of ppl who are fighting a war without a cause..killing everyone who doesnt follow islam..i seriously wish that one of there close one dies at the hands of these terrorist and then maybe they would understand what a profound act of patriotism was what Modi did in Gujrat.

narendra modi is a development of years and years of neglect and supression of the majority community in India. and if such vote bank politics continues then i can assure you that you will see many narendra modi's in future.
you cannot supress a majority community for the sake of vote bank. hindus are divided but when they unite then history is example that they become more furious and deadly then any one else. please dont make them bleed more.
its because of the softness of the hindus that so called minority are living peacefully in in India. Journalism has been baised in India and controlled by mafia politicians, we cannot trust or support them.

so what if she was a terroist or if she wasnt..when hindu's die..they are also not terrorist..if you are ashmaed of living amongst us..pack you bags and go to a place where you will be more comfortable living ..or learn to live with us..
Tehelka's operation and expose is just a temporary bash, cause a ripple and will then soon die off a natural death (being forgotten). But in this temporary fireworks, media in the whole will benefit a lot. Does anyone remember the sting operation against army personnel (buying night vision cameras) ?? Does anyone remember the sting operation against BJP leaders (accepting bribes) ?? There were investigations, parlimentary probes, waste of govt/public time and money.. Nothing happens.. Just enjoy this show and wait for the next one..

that is the question we are asking you - where was your conscience in 1984 when sikh brothers were killed at the behest of so called secular party, where was your conscience when people were burnt alive in sabarmati train, where was your conscience when kashmiri pandits were killed and raped and kicked from kashmir.
while i agree that most of the points touched by the gujrat expose remains closer to the actual facts, the focus of the promoters on one particular domain /community/political outfit is something that taking the sting out of it. Are all the other political outfits/ communities are clean and spotless? This biased outlook spoils the positive motive behind the sting operations. Tarun Tejpal, Anirudha Bahal or for that matter their mentors Vinod Mehta, and Mahesh Peri are always deaf and blind towards the wrong doings congress, left parties, and "minorities" .. Modi is a demon and what had happened in Gujrat is defenitley a stain to Indian history... but that doesn't give an opportunity to oversee the religious terror, caste based divisive politics, corruption, compromise of the country's sovereign power, and every cancerous tendencies that are spread across the socio-political domain of the nation... Neither violence nor violation of human rights, can be justified from any quarter of the society.. just because a the sponsor have a secular/minority garb.. Saying that... the government should take immediate steps to book the culprits of the pogrom
Who is this Mahesh Peri ? It's hilarious, the way he's trying to project the rag 'outlook' as if it's a 'New York Times'. I saw Tarun Tejpal on TV the other day. He was evading the question of timing.If the means justify the end, then it's also a fact that Gujarat has been riot free after the post Godhra carnage.
Where do these right groups go when there are attrocities committed on Hindus? They will cry foul when Bangladeshi muslims are sent back to their home land, but they will not speak a word about Hindus from Pakistan/Bangladesh/Kashmir(which is very well part of India) where they all suffering. They are all muslims and christians on its panel(atleast by thinking if not by birth). Let it be Tista Setalvad or any other other damm activist, they all are anti-Hindu. Why not send them all to Pakistan or any other radical islamic country?they actualy belong there.

We are secular country unlike Bangladesh or Pakistan. If you belong to India are proud to be a hindu, be magnanimous in heart.My parents were thrown out of east Pakistan some 50 years back. I don't have any grudge against the Bangladeshi Muslims.

Pro democracy does not mean anti-hindu. You have a vote power and you can choose a government that will take on your policies is the answer. killing and raping innocents is not the answer to your problems.

Mr. Mohan, During Gujrat Riots 250 plus hindus got killed also. Why didnt Tehalka find out who organised killings of hindus also. I saw that idiot Tarun shouting at Mr. Singhal" Musalmanoon ka Katal kiya Modi " Who did Katal aam of Hindus also" These 250 hindus killed are other than killed in Sabarmati express. That is why we qustion the credentials of this type of journalism., wherein journalists become spokespersons of some political party, in this sting of Tehalka, we could make it it was handiwork of Congress.

Raina ji, Hindu mare to kisko kya fark padta hai! 250 or 2500 , hindu hi hai na! Whats their utility at the vote bank? Nothing! Because those 2500 would have anyway voted for their caste. But 2500 muslims! come on man , how can you give it away, they vote enmasse, so you have to protest everyway you can

Good, so gujrat riots are now senseless matters.
Mahesh, you made a very good point here.I'll post your exact question here "Do we need to see even the most despicable things that happen around us through a prism of caste, creed, religion, political parties, competition, business, sex, region, and so on?"...the answer to your question is "We Do". I know you must be thinking how proud I feel saying that,but I am not. Its disgusting to admit that their are some among us who dont mind a person being murdered, a girl being raped ,a child being molested, a person being burnt alive because he/she does not belong to their religion,caste or whatever that could separate them from each other. Being a Hindu i would have been proud to say that we hindus dont act like terrorists, we dont kill people,we dont rape girls but no,i cant say that anymore. To give an example, I hope you ,me and everyone else looks at the messages posted here. People are proud and ready to justify this massacre because it was done to keep "the muslims" in check,to tell them where they actually belong, who's country this actually is. How can we say we are a society which respects a fellow human. People want to cite examples of massacres done by muslims kings hundreds of years ago, fine if that justifies their philosophy of killing a fellow countrymen, what can i say. And thanks to all those who would start hurling abuses at me now.I dont want to belong in your category.

Forget massacres 100s of years ago. Kashmir was only 20 years back. 500,000 hindus driven out. Short memory? What about repeated bomb blasts? Attack on Parliament? Hijacking of IA flight? 100 years back? Eat badam and read newspapers, you will solve your memory problem

Kashmir is altogether different issue. Go an get your facts right. It was never been seen as a part of india. For that matter, north-eastern states, I think you people don't even remember there names, has more killings in past few years. All naxalite belongs to hindu grps. So don't just remember other bomb blast. All these fanatics need to be terminated.

Naxalites belong to the Maoist groups. And they are avowed atheists! They don't fight for hindus or hinduism. They just fight for establishing a Maoist heartland in India. So you go and get your facts straight!
And yes, Kashmir was and will be part of india. Whatever Muslims deserved, they got it in the form of Pakistan And Bangladesh!

You had mentioned "ome among us who dont mind a person being murdered, a girl being raped ,a child being molested, a person being burnt alive because he/she does not belong to their religion,caste or whatever that could separate them from each other."
But the very fact that these issues are highlighted by Tehelkha and Outlook when it happens for one community is the reason for the outrage of the netizen public. If you see most of the people they dont question why Narendrad Modi is exposed. They are only questioning the ethics of the media.
You blame Chandan Mitra, because he is constrained by his right wing masters. Fair enough. You have point.
But your article criticizes those who suspects your motive. That is you can suspect Chandan Mitra, but no one should suspect your attitude. You expect the people to think that you always have the right motive and those who suspect you are all fools. Dont you think this is hypocrisy.
