Modi can display cynicism of a dispassionate news man. Karan Thapar recalls when he interviewed Modi, long before he became the CM, he derided the RSS run schools as complete failures in comparison to the Bhavans. Modi is a strong leader, as Raman says he kindles the Hindu pride. However, unlike Bharatiyar, who epoused it for a selfless cause -the freedom struggle,- Modi does it for political gains, which is fine. However, the self-styled secular media's lament is not without reason. The daylight murders of women and children in Gujrat warrants justice. What about killings indulged by Islamic militants, the displaced Kashmiri Pundits, and the bomb blasts victims all across India, yes I hear the counterpoints. You are all right, they need justice just as those who were butchered in Godhra and elsewhere in Gujrat. What is undesirable is our numbness to murder and mayhem, despite prima facie exposure. The poll result is typical of Gujrat. For Gujratis nothing matters more than their Dhanda and Dharm, (business and religion) in that order. Modi played to these ground realities and struck a chord with the electorate. These results are unlikely to replicate elsewhere. All said, he is a pracharak gone power hungry. As a pracharak he leads a life dedicated to service of the country and his culture, as a power hungry politician he will not bat an eye to repeat a post Godhra pogrom. My two cents; I may have got everything wrong.

I have read this pseudo Islamist on weekends parading as the real one always spewing venom on Hindus & Modi. He is a paid agent of Sonia & Italian mafia.
