Let us hang Modi

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am not loyal to any party but to reason, and for that reason my loyalties keep shifting, leaving only one thing for certain - show me injustice and I shall join any and every protest against it. And hence today I try to distance myself from Modi!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But, before we go ahead and discuss more about Modi, here is a small exercise for the readers. Irrespective of our Faith and ideology, we all have atleast one person that we love the most. Right? I want you to think of that person. Done? </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">now scroll down</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Have you really thought of THE person?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No cheating please...</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">is it your Father?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">or your Mother?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Or one of your Grand Parents?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Or your spouse/Boyfriend/Girlfriend?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">or your Kids?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Or simply a special friend?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now Imagine that, </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">you see that person off at train station one day and the next day you see on news that the train that person was on was burnt. You frantically try to connect with that person but you fail. You try every means possible only to find that that person was one of the victims of the arson and that He/She too was burnt alive, locked inside the train coach. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm sure you'd want to  harm me for making you to go through this mental torture. My apologies, but if just the thought of this whole incidence fills one with anguish and rage, what must the grief be of those who lost their loved ones in <b><i>Sabarmati express</i></b>? </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Let us, to this pain add the memory of the exodus and genocide of Kashmiri Pundits and the fact that it was totally ignored as if it never happened and the fear that it may again happen to any other state of India, to a place where you and your family resides. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Post Godhra riots, the impression is that only Muslims lost their loved ones and that the number was in thousands. Here is the truth - <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4536199.stm" target="_blank">790 muslims and 254 Hindus died in the riots</a>. Now lets do the Maths - </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">790 + (254+58) = 1102 (58 victims of Sabarmati Express)</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">therefore, </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>28.31 % Hindu and 71.69% Muslim victims. </b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>My heart breaks to even imagine how it would have felt to go through such perilous times, for every Muslim, for every Hindu...for every Human being!</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But, no matter how gross it was to do the math of dead bodies, it helps us see how easily the 28% were totally ignored and forgotten. It shows us the bitter truth about the Secularism of our Media and elite liberals that choose to ignore the tears of the Majority. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Post 2002 there has not been a single case of riots in Gujrat. Had there been one, the media would have hounded Modi. Some would say that this peace only exists due to fear. To every reader, regardless of Her/His faith/religion/background, I ask, will you prefer to lose you loved ones and your property destroyed or peace, even if it exists due to fear? I would, without hesitation, chose peace. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Still, <b>lets hang Modi</b>. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">but for what reason? For riots or for not being able to stop the riots?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Clearly, the trigger for the riots was<i> Sabarmati Express</i>. Hence lets hang him for not being able to stop the riots. Right?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Let us ignore Supreme Court's verdict</b>. Who cares what the apex court of our Nation says. <b>We shall stick to what media, Politicians and elite leftists and liberals wants us to believe</b>.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But, in this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n6W69L4NjA" target="_blank">clip</a>, in front of his bitter rivals, Digvijay Singh and Fahrooq Abdulah, he reveals when the riots broke out, the Gujrat govt. sent fax to the neighboring states Chattisgarh, Maharshatra and Madhya Pradesh to send help for riot control. The request was denied. Wouldnt his arguments be thrashed by these two if they could? Even with the limited Police force, the riots were brought under control in 3 days. Assam riots continued for 3 months and the '84 riots in 3 days claimed over 8000 lives. Do I need to give statistics for genocide of Kashimiri Pundits? Shouldn't we demand the same for the culprits in these cases too? or<b> is it that Hindus and Sikhs are better off dead</b>?</span><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="266" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9n6W69L4NjA?feature=player_embedded" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" width="320"></iframe><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have heard some conspiracy theorists saying that the Sabarmati Express incident was pre-planned by BJP-RSS. Now, thats a new angle. Here is another one - what if it really was pre-planned and those that planned it made it look like it was pre-planned by the '<b>Saffron terrorists</b>'? If we were to stick to a conspiracy theory, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">which one should we stick to? Obviously, the one that has been repeated over and over again. After all, whatever is repeated several times, ultimately becomes the truth. No?</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Let us overlook the praises for Modi by<a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/jamiat-leader-maulana-mahmood-madani-slammed-for-remark-on-narendra-modi-india-today/1/250744.html" target="_blank"> </a></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/jamiat-leader-maulana-mahmood-madani-slammed-for-remark-on-narendra-modi-india-today/1/250744.html" target="_blank">Maulana Ghulam Vastanvi, at the cost of his post of Deoband's rector and Maulana Mahmood Madani, general secretary of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind</a>. These Maulanas obviously know shit about Godhra as compared to Arundhati Roy. Right?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Let us forsake all reasons and believe what we are made to believe, let us cease to think and let our religious beliefs take over our logic.</span><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Let us hang Modi! </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For if we dont, chances are, there wont be any riots anymore in the country and hence no other political party will get any chance to fan religious and communal sentiments of the downtrodden 'Aam Juntaa' for their petty gains. </span></b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd_57DZ5TrEbRjEVofEtf4MUuNxGZaMNhJhSiR32iysyTt8eEsUd06dt-9gF7puso3dgk-2hj2-2kMRFiwAbBips3MJ2Y79kvq7z4fqkoGgMvNAuVOFNqlTgwoho77JKqGVfagL1XLhGI/s1600/narendra-modi-shown-prominently-in-bihar-bjps-hunkar-rally-hoardings_130913101653.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd_57DZ5TrEbRjEVofEtf4MUuNxGZaMNhJhSiR32iysyTt8eEsUd06dt-9gF7puso3dgk-2hj2-2kMRFiwAbBips3MJ2Y79kvq7z4fqkoGgMvNAuVOFNqlTgwoho77JKqGVfagL1XLhGI/s1600/narendra-modi-shown-prominently-in-bihar-bjps-hunkar-rally-hoardings_130913101653.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></b></div>

Those who understand politics, would know that more of such drama can be expected in coming days, as we move closer to the Loksabha Elections 2014. </span></span><br /><span style="color: #37404e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #37404e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Meanwhile, srrounded with all the cacophony of the Crows (politicians) and Vultures (Media), it was interesting to note that no one bothered to make even a small mention of the Ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Pundits from their homeland, Kashmir, in 1990, nor the recent Assam (Kokrajhar) riots. It was like they never happened; and I so wish that they never had! But since they did, why the silence? Is it because, these were the incidences that affected the people belonging to the Majority of the Nation? Do lives of Hindus don't matter or is it that since they exist in majority, a loss of few lives can be considered negligible? These are uncomfortable questions, but someone has to ask them. They must be answered.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #37404e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #37404e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Its sad and unfortunate to even compare human suffering, and that is exactly my point. If the sufferings of the minorities find cries for justice, why are the majority's tears ignored? That is when </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mancur Olson</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">'s </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Logic_of_Collective_Action" target="_blank">The logic of Collective action</a></i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> answers the question - </span><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"In Democracy, a well organised minority is Majority."</span></blockquote><span style="color: #37404e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #37404e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">While setting aside the differences between the different sects and casts and subcasts, the Minorities fight together for their issues, the majority continues to be divided not only into different casts and subcasts but also through language and region.
