I m not Gujarati, I have never lived in Gujarat, I know nothing about the situations there. I am, however, a Hindu, a fact I was rather ashamed about when I heard what others from my religion were doing to others because they belonged to another religion.
And if Narendra Modi didnt just turn a blind eye towards these massacres, but in fact approved of them (something he has never denied, as far as I know), then yes, I for one would not want such a man as a chief minister of a state.
Maybe I m being overly idealistic in this. Maybe he has done a lot for the state of Gujarat, and there has been a lot of development there in recent years. I wouldnt know, and I admit that freely. But I would like to believe the life of a fellow human being holds some value in todays day and age. Which, sadly, doesnt seem to be the case.
