by tusar sahoo on Dec 23, 2007 08:39 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Dear Mr.Modi
Congratulations for ur recent win. This is the kind of win democracy demands, full majority. People say U hate muslims, but Y ? if it is really true I will not support. Some bad elements r there and I hate them irrespective of any community, but many r there who r really nice .. We want a unified India , muslims in India are first Indian then muslim as I am first Indian then Hindu. They njoy diwali with us and we Njoy eid with them .. no separations , no feelings .. Then Y sud U hate them .. Public complains tht if anybdy with a muslim surname applys for job don't get .. may b thr allegations r not true , may the candidate don't deserve but u sud tell ur officers not to have such kind of description .. U must have learned a lot from the past .. can't U love muslims equally as Hindus , try once .. U will be the most loved man .. understand there problem, and treat in a egalitarian way. Happy Gujurat will contribute a lot to happy India .. Hope U will try ur best to wipe out all the blame put on U. Forget Sonia's remarks, Lord ram will b happy.
Wish U a great and successful 5yrs. Hope this tenure will be exemplary to promote Modi as next PM of India . Gujurat n India Love U ..

Sahooji, understand one thing - in Indian politics, to win elections (as opposed to passing armchair comments), you need votes. And for votes, you need to at least pretend that you hate, or like particular communities. Modi apparently wants to project an anti-Muslim image, just like the Congress consciously wants to project a pro-Muslim image. An image doesn't mean reality. And yes, if being anti-Muslim is 'non-secular', then you can say the same for being 'pro-Muslim' too. In a really secular democracy, religion should not enter the political arena AT ALL. That way the Congress, with its over-the-board minority appeasement is also not secular. That apart, if you want political parties to be 'really secular', then the voters should be secular. Which is not the case here. Will even Sonia Gandhi dare to contest a seat in a Muslim-dominated area like Malappuram in Kerala? She won't. Because if she does, she will lose. Because ultimately the voter in India is NOT 'secular'.

I agree with you. Regardless of what Indian constitution professes, the people of India have religion in their blood and marrow. This artificial separation of religion from our polity in the name of secularism makes hypocrites of all of us. It is time we gave religion its due and used it for nation building, not nation bashing.

Yes It should become 'Hindustan' again with other religious people living.

Modi always says he is working for 5.5 crore Gujaratis... this includes all... and this is secularism.

His anti-muslim image is portrayed by Congress, media, etc, etc.

Also, he is very tough against terrorism and appeasement. Unfortunately, Muslims are invloved in these 2 things and Modi will not tolerate this, and therefore he is being viewed as anti-muslim..

But, in fact he is helping muslims.

If muslims stay away from terrorism & appeasement, it will only help muslims.

MUSLIMS need to understand this.

MODI is a principle-based person. He will not sacrifice his principles and that is the reason his govt is more & more corruption free also.
