I have a sneeky feeling that Modi is going to come out on top again and then all the opponents will have no choice but to go along with him. I personally support Mr. Modi. He has a lot of ground support.

It doesn't matter whether Modi wins or Not and with what majority. The issue is Gujarat and the Gujarati community are treated as rioters and killers because of the 2002 gujarat massacre. Earleier Gujaratis had respect in India and abroad because of tgheir business acumenship.However people speak bad things about them on their back. A day not far when Gujaratis will be abused like the Biharis in Idnia.Its a great shame for Gujaratis. They can and may make money..but they have lost their characters..for ever and ever......

I totally agree with you. Infact,I have observed this. In Mumbai,when I travel in a local train,there is a group of Gujjus who often discuss about the stock market trading everyday. When they get down from the the train at Borivali station(Gujarati dominated suburb station on western Railway),people in the train abuse them on thei back and hold them responsible for Gujrat riots. they even call them as Gujarati 'Kasai'(Butchers) or 'Jallad'(Henchmen)...THis is the reputation the Gujjus have earned

If moslems can live freely in India despite engaging in hundreds of riots, scores of terrorist attacks, en-masse genocide and purge of non-moslems from Kashmir, Pakistan, bangladesh, than you don't have to worry about Gujaratis - Gujartis are not one-dimentional or defined by one event and they are not weak or coward to be intimidated or defined by psecular abuse or propaganda. It can produce Gandhi and Sardar Patel, and it can also produce million Modis if the need be.
