Here is an article in today's NDTV.Com about Modi's roots (I think NDTV is deemed by many "Intellectuals" as a "Secular" media)...read on to find how a local Congressman and another Muslim (who know Modi from childhood) speak the truth and support Modi.
Friday, December 14, 2007 (Vadnagar) Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi was born in the ancient temple town of Vadnagar in North Gujarat. He did his schooling there before leaving the town in 1967.
Rasikbhai Dave is a Congressman and a close friend of the Modi family. He remembers Modi as a child serving tea at this small restaurant near the Vadnagar railway station owned by Modi's father.
But mention the politics of hate that a grown up Modi is alleged to have practiced and Dave gets upset.
''As Chief Minister he would have initiated the Godhra riots? We are not ready to accept it at all, because right from his childhood he has been in a Muslim atmosphere. So he will never get an anti-Muslim mindset in his life,'' said Rasikbhai Dave, political activist.
In the same neighbourhood, Modis owned two more houses, a neighbourhood right adjacent to a Muslim dominated locality.
Jasud Pathan, one of Modi's closest classmates, blames the media for demonizing his friend and insists Modi is not arrogant or a fundamentalist.
''I have only one request for Narendra Modi, to bring Muslims forward, he must concentrate on their education and give them employment,'' said Jasud Pathan, Modi's childhood friend.
