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 apperaring 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..
While your points are sound and your principles are clear, I would like you to ponder on why people from Western Europe have never been tried for the innumerable crimes that they have committed. Why hasn't someone from Western Europe been tried for crimes against humanity, prrof being the millions of children that have died so far in Iraq? Closer home, wonder why a Tehelka or Teesta Setalvad does not show "courage" in exposing Congress hands in '84 Anti-Sikh pogrom? Or why Tehelka or Teesta Setalvad does not go to Bengal and expose CPIM atrocities in Nandigram massacre(that too where Muslims have greatly suffered)? Is it because they are afraid of getting royally thulped or is it because they are basically Nehruvian in their attitude and believe only BJP can be monsters? As for your view on Congress party being responsible for Gujarat's current progress, what prevented Congress from creating this progress before Modi? Were they devoid of ideas or brains all along? What prevented them from taking India forward through more than 50 years that they were ruling? Modi does not promote acute sycophancy, Modi does not promote dynastic politics and then have the stupid immaturity to preach "meritocracy". If India is still a developing country, the Congress party and it's narrow-minded, artificially secular and opportunistic politics are to blame. Among the Congress' decaying cobwebs, a rare & decent exception called Manmohan Singh is stuck and floundering.

rightly said. these r all the ppl with vested interests getting funding from not merely congress but also from abroad. they r doing the same thing. highlighting the wrong things of guj, and suppressing the same thing happening in other states ruled by cong/cpm. this kind of biased reporting erases their bonafideness of the news.
