RE:Why Modi appeals to Hindus
by Ashok Abraham on Dec 31, 2007 09:43 AM

Hi Rasheed,

I am a Christian myself and strongly object to your viewpoint that Modi can spell disaster for minorities. You are talking as though India exists only for minorities. This kind of crap is what gives minorities such a bad name and suspect in the eyes of many, many Hindus who are among the most progressive and tolerant people in the world. As a proud Indian, I put my religion behind the nation as this nation has always been good to all, whether they are Christians, Muslims, Parsis, Jains or Buddhists. So please do not allow your personal bigotry and hatred to cloud your judgement. I have read an article in NDTV.Com (which I consider to be completely biased against Modi) where Modi's childhood friend (who happens to be a Muslim) strongly defending Modi for all the false propoganda and lies spread against him. Inspite of all the accusations, not one bit of them have stuck onto Modi and he has emerged as a very tall leader. His sagacity and personal integrity have marked him out even within his own party and please recognize and respect that, rather than clinging to perceptions. The so-called secular politicians and money-pilfering NGOs cause enough damage to the reputation of minorities, please do not add to that. I want India to be more strong, prosperous and progressive and do not want your suggestion of "minority" blanket to cover my eyes.
