He should have shown such guts in the interview by responding to the question in polite and responsible manner. Where all his guts shown during the riots have vanished? He will have guts only behind of mobs not alone. He must understand a the place of interview is not State assembly to walk out, but a place to repond to the representative of people. It was shamefull to him,BJP and his supporters.

Ask somebody to go to Sonia Gandhi and ask pointed questions on her foreign origin in the lines of 1. You only high school education and why do you think you are qualified to lead a country like India. 2. Just because you married into Gandhi family you think you are qualifed to lecture on Mahatma Gandhi at UN? 3. Do you have any sensitivity on Hindu feelings? 4. What do you know about Indian heritage?...... on and on... See what happens to the interviewer.

Karan Thapar is intellectually bankrupt journalist. His connections with Romila Thapar (actually family relation) have ensured that he survives in secularist media. He can anyday defeat any Arjun Singh....but he should always double check before taking on non-senile politicians.

He did not walk out ... he started mumbling something in Hindi and talking of dostana , friendship etc . Even after a glass of water , he could not regain his composure and Karan Thapar took pity on him and ended the charade.

Indian English Language Media (ELM) acts as a political party for all intents and purpose. And its orientation too is very clear. Due to the fact that a lot of media is enjoying money from gulf and west based 'charities', its mission is to see the end of Hindus and Hindustan. That they will take care of BJP was promised by N. Ram and Shekhar Gupta to General Musharraf. The competition for the award of being the slimiest journalist in ELM scene is pretty harsh. If you think, Karan Thapar is obnoxious, probably you have not heared from Rajdeep Sardesai, or the ex-port editor who currently edits outlook.

the chap can't handle a reporter - let alone extremely articulate leaders of foreign countries. He maybe a Hridaya Samrath of Gujarat - the English speaking educated class outside Gujarat think he is a buffoon and a mass murderer. And it is this class which makes sure who rules the country and who does not. Even when BJP was in power in center - it was only the slightly secular BJP leaders who were allowed to function.

The same class in South Delhi kiched him hard for this, and our alleged pm lost the only lok sabha election he ever fought.

We are talking of Modi and not Manmohan. Manmohan gets bricks as well as bouquets from the media and he takes it in his stride. And let me tell you - I don't think there are any professionally qualified person who even thinks of taking up a job in Gujarat. Gujarat as a state does not exist in the radar of educated people for employment like Gurgaon , Noida , Bombay , Bangalore , Chennai or Hyderabad are. Its nothing more than a regional office for most companies.

Manmohan is the ultimate crook. We at least expect crookedness from Laloo or a Commie, but Manmohan speak lies while pretending to be honest, and knows that others expect him to be honest. To add icing on the cake, he is slave. His body languaeg is that of anatomically challanged person. His understanding of history is as good as most other congressis.

For your information Mr High Class from English Speaking Educated from wherever, India is not made by people only from 'English Speaking Educated Class'. For sure u have a bias for the 'articulate leaders of foreign countries' and against the Indian middle class per se, but let me tell u 'WHO CARES'. India is not going to be run by handling the articulate leaders of foreign countries. A 'Hridaya Samrat' (what u have refered) is who has actually won the hearts of masses of people and not because of foolish antics of pseudo seculars present in Media nowadays who have no grass root knowledge of things.

ahaha - well for one thing - a PM has to handle extremely bright, articulate IAS officers of central services not state level promotee IAS/IPS officers. Only an educated guy like Manmohan or Chidambram or Narsimha Rao could handle them or someone with earthy brilliance like Laloo Yadav. Even Vajpayee who is a decently intelligent guy would use a Brajesh Mishra ( old friend ) to handle bureaucracy and manage media. Buffoons will have no way of even running the country let alone deal with external guys.

Also check ur facts before saying the regional offices in the states thing and eductaed people in metro cities....India by the way is not only in these cities, come out of the mentality and accept the all-inclusiveness of the place where u are living. Gujarat for ur kind (I am not too sure abt that) information is one of the fastest growing state and that can't possible happen just because companies have regional offices there. That state is growing and thats it,facts are facts, be it not on the radar of educated (but not wise) people of metros or not.

Atalji is otherwise quite OK and that is why he was allowed to become the PM of this country. The least tainted of the BJP lot. Otherwise you either belonged to a dynasty or be crooked in order to be elected.

People like Anurag Srivastava are shame on Hinduism. They are far away from the ground realities. 59 innocent men, women and children are burnt alive by Muslims in the compartment, which I have seen from my own eyes. If it was an accident, why nobody could jump off from 2 train bogies. Because the doors were tied from outside with wires by muslims. And Godhara riots was a reaction to this brutal incisent. Why you are not talking about burning of innocent Hindus. You people are nothing but " Secular Talibans".
How can you held a chief minister responsible for the people's reaction to burning of innocent hindus ? Modi controlled it nicely by deploying army in less than 48 hours in gujarat. and for your information, out of 700 died, 260 were hindus. And most of these hindus died of Police bullets. Meaning that, modi infact tried to prevent riots.
Let us see what happens in Gujarat election. Gujarat is number one in Child education, Dimond ind, texttiles, medicine, spare parts, per capita income , water management, health care and many more.
You Srivastava,is I guess from UP. and what is the status of UP in any of these field ???? ha ha ha , shame on you

Dear Frnd. Taking nothing away from the highly skilled Indian IT Indystry......but want u to check few facts: Contribution of IT Industry to GDP 4.7% Direct Employement 1.23 mln people (around 1%). During Modi's administration, Gujarat registered a SDP growth rate of over 15%, the highest growth rate among all the states in India. India Today has awarded him the best chief minister twice in three years. RATAN TATA has quoted that Guajarat is the heaven for our bussiness and modi is encouraging INDIAN bussinees. Gujarat has reduced the fiscal deficit of the state exchequer by fifty percent and not had any overdraft in last 3 years. 1/6th of total investment in India is made in Gujarat on annual basis. 1/5th of total exports contributed from Gujarat. (something may be refleted by these facts as well even on a SYMBOLIC basis, I suppose) We cant have a country or society wherein development means some ultra developed cities on symbolic basis, or some industries on symbolic basis representing the new economy and few highly educated people symbolically representing the whole Public.

RE:BJP can win national election

Not really - low tech industry does make the sethji very rich quickly and can cause a blip in the GDP for a short period of time. Hi Tech and services has a much better impact in bring prosperity level of a larger number of educated people. Big cities act as magnet for investment and employment and hence symbolic of growth. Agriculture is important in every state.

You are a blot on Hindus milan. You do not have the courage to find the real culprits of Godhra so you go around killing people unconnected with that and call it natural reaction. No one has been caught for Godhra by Modi government and no one has been punished. THAT is a shame.

To an extent minority and caste politics is OK as part of overall democracy but someone like Teesta really gets into one's nerves.

because so-called educated have boughtthe image of Modi which was made by his opponents. Even his worst detrators confess that his administration is brilliant and his popularity is huge. state VHP hate his guts, and actually opposes him on most matters.
The best part is he has delivered where it matters. Development. And after riots, claimed to be holocaust by some alleged prime minister, Hindus in state feel much safer to travel in trains. That is an improvement in safety and security if you know what happens in Mallapuram, West Bengal and places governed by secularist populists who have additionally failed on delivering development.

Except for die hard supporters of Modi - everyone who saw the interview felt real pity for Modi and that is not a good opinion for a person claiming to be a strongman.

Left has given mass unemployment, a Dhimmistan in West Bengal, a lot of infiltraters imnplementing their own way of life, and routine attacks on marriage parties of hindus in several places. Off course Police do not take cognizance of the crimes because victims are hindus and criminals are muslims and most of the time cpi-m members.
Commines are the reason that west bengal is now called WASTE bengal.
And, In Kerala they have implemented a monyorder economy sustained by Hawala.
Of course, leftist ignobles like Amartya Sen cannot see that.
