Riots are riots, whenever, wherever and whatever be the reasons, and condemnable, to say the least. In your article there is an undefined refrain of seeking foreign assistance to teach a lesson, from the days of Kamaraj till Modis time.I have not been able fathom the deeper meaning of this, honestly speaking. How many,of even the Senior political leaders can recall, either the Chennai riots or the riots en-route to Dandakaranya. Very few I am sure. Why? Because communication channels worked differently. Instant reporting and communication was unavailable, compared to present times. With technology changes, say post 1984, incidences happening anywhere in the world, are known to everyone in a jiffy. And all viewers whoever and wherever they may be, are entitled to their opinion. Including USA. Influence of a few Christians ? Lets not be SO naïve. Modi got what he deserves.I wonder why so many of the born again patriots suddenly feel slighted.I am glad USA denied him entry. Modi has bought OUR Diplomatic status to shame,intentionally. And by the way,why did this Gujrati dominated Hotel association invite Modi?Pandoras Box? Someone will discover the truth.
