Georgy Zhukov Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 The largest democratic election in human history. Over 800 million voters. The new PM is a popular politician named Narenda Modi. Almost no coverage in American media, but India is pretty important to our economy so they can't go ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) I remember an Indian guy I worked with telling me a story about a train being in India set alight with gasoline, and the leader of that province or state declared that for the next 72 hours or something it was open season on Muslims there...I think in 1992 he said.Is this (new PM) that guy? I'm pretty sure my friend didn't just make this shit up.edit: just reading about "the Bombay riots" etc Edited May 17, 2014 by DR DOOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure my friend didn't just make this shit up.edit: just reading about "the Bombay riots" etcIn 2002 Gujarat riots took place. Around 1200 people were killed horribly. In fact there is a sting video of Babu Bajrangi done by Thehalka (available on youtube with english subtitles) where he talks about how good it feels to thrust a sword into young boys and how he burned a number of muslim familes during the Gujarat. In the sting he claims that Modi (the next PM) had given them permission to go and do whatever they want and no police force would be seen for the next 3 days. Its a chilling video.That man, Babu Bajrangi in now in prison for life for his role in the riots as is the then minister for women welfare (i think). The trial court did not find anyting on Modi and had given him a clean chit. The matter will now go into the high court as appealed by a muslim woman whose entire family was burned after hindu fundamentalists broke into her house.Were the riots preplanned? was it a genocide? The fact is that we will never know that for a fact. If it was done then the main culprits will never be found as they never are in such cases.But what no one will deny however is that he certainly used the tensions after the riots to his benefit. He was the Chief Minister of Gujarat when the riots broke out (the US equivalent of a chief minister would be a Governor) and he has been blamed for not doing enough to control the riots. The then Prime Minister Vajpayee (of the same party as Modi) told him in a press conference that he is not doing is Dharma or duty. The then Chief Justice of India called him the "modern day Nero who looked the other way as the cities burned"Many in the media has been constantly hounding him for his alleged role in riots. He even once walked out of an interview when the journalist asked a question about the riots. However in the decade which followed he has improved his impression significantly primarily based on development of his state of Gujarat which has, to be fair to him, seen a fair amount of growth. With many industrialist and businessmen backing him and with results to show he made the electoral campaign mostly about development and growth and how he can bring about the same development across the country.After 10 years of the previous Congress government which has seen over ten scams amounting to more than ten thousand crores rupes each and a frustratingly mute PM anybody who could convince the people that real development is possible had a good chance of winning.However, what is sad though is that how for most voters (note that this election had seen most number of first time voters) development seem to right other wrongs. There is still a case pending against him and as far as circumstantial evidences go, IMHO he is guilty of negligence during the riots if not a genocide. And yet most voters believe as long as he can help india grow at a steady rate all should be forgotten.While there are sections of the population which adores Modi for championing Hindu rights, indians largely will not accept divisive politics... one of the reason why the ruling BJP lost the general elections after the Gujarat riots took place in 2003. And for this reason Modi will have to be very careful how he conducts himself in the top office. Edited May 17, 2014 by Ketan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vajpaye was a good guy for Indo-Pakistani relations, Mohdi won't be though. Even if a person is...or two persons are, our extremists are so extreme on both sides and we are so emotive and kneejerk in our aggressive responses that it wouldn't make any difference if they were.
