People who have committed crimes against unarmed civilians in eastern Europe have been tried in the International Court of Justice and sentenced. Modi's crime is also of the same nature and scale. The Gujrath carnage is a clear indication of the failure of state machinery to protect unarmed civilians. Nobody need expose BJP; the very comments appearing in its favour on rediff is a clear indication of an emerging fascist force that will do anything to further its agenda of religious fundamentalism. India is adrift ideologically. Only a strong leader like Nehru/Sardar Patel can stem this tide of increasing communalisation of polity and politics. At the ground level the saffron activists are lumpen elements; at the top are pseudo intellectuals -- a lethal combination as far as minorities are concerned. One only hopes that the Supreme Court steps in to uphold the rule of law by punishing the guilty, be they ever so highly placed. We are living in a globalised world and the consequences of that are inescapable. Eventually Modi will stand trial when international pressure builds up. The US denial of visa was a small step in the right direction. One admires the courage of Tehelka and Teesta Setelvad in times like this to risk their life and reputation in defence of the truth

i agree with Mr. Mukherjee fully. The BJP leaders who come into power in the name of Ram and religion only concentrate on doing corruption and making money. you have seen how the previous BJP president Bangaru Laxman accepted money to influence defence deals. In between they create communal problems and wins the election in the name of religion (2002 Gujrat riots). What have they done to improve the economic and social condition of the dalits in hindu religion- NOTHING. infact they make efforts to further discreminate the lower caste hindus.
