Educated and elite Indian Hindus have started to engage in a rationalization exercise to excuse Modi actions saying that what he did was indeed right, as clearly seen by his electoral wins. Democracy does not mean majority prevails all the time. It means it prevails as long as you stick to legal methods as provisioned by Indian Constitution and legal code. When you subvert them, even your electoral wins have to be trashed to uphold the law of the land. Indian Hindus have gone blind in their hatred for Muslims. So much so that, they are not only ready to excuse Modi of his crimes, they are ready to hail him as their leader. And thats when I start fearing the trends and ask myself- How long before we become completely fascist?

I am no big fan of Modi, if he is responsible in any way for the death of innocent people he should be tried in court and sent to jail. What is stopping these 'pseudo secularists' from doing so? ...they have their govt at the center let them try him in the court of law and let the court decide who is guilty and who is not ? But you can't deny the facts that Raman has presented about his good governance. So please stop making such noises until Modi has been proved guilty in the court of law.
