I read an article opposing Modi
on the grounds of moral rights owing to Gujarat riots (link below) with an
extreme open mind from start till end. This was so typical of arm chair
intellectuals deeply disconnected from India either living in india and abroad.
In between being extremely one sided and myopic which is a result of authors
own jaundiced view (which i can attribute the thought process to as liberal
elitist with whom i fight on social media day in and out and winning
handsomely if public reaction is the
parameter). Though i can hear a ‘fiberal ‘accusing this as jingoism from
majority or in plain term mobocracy. (Fiberal is my term for people of this
mindset. i am including a separate definition what i mean by term fiberal.)
But coming back to this piece of
one sided commentary i tried again and again to bring forth valid points for
debate amidst all venom.
1. Theory
of Justice for Gujarat: Author claims modi has no moral right to rule country
due to Gujarat 2002.
2. Even
if he apologizes in that case he is incompetent to control riots how he can
rule country
3. Other
proven performance parameters for last 12 years like economy, growth etc don’t
matter so long as moral grounds of justice for Gujarat are upheld.
4. Author
thinks that Modi thinks like Hitler and India will be Nazi country.
I am discounting the comedy of
point no 4. i am not answering that. Tomorrow i may think AAP is funded by CIA. Thats my though process to which no one else
can argue. So i am not getting into this idiotic point.
(pls let me know if i have missed
any other vaid intellectual point from this jaundiced article, as with my
limited abilities i am unable to. In case someone does i am game to debate on
valid debatable points)
Point 1.
I am not saying that one riot is
better than other. But genocide is where all victims are of one community or group
of people. In Delhi, not a single hindu was killed where as more than 2000
sikhs were butchered. So does that give congress right to rule county by
authors logic. Author himself states that more than 200 hindu were killed in
Gujarat 2002. How were they killed? By police. So that means that
administration was atleast doing something though they were unsuccessful.
Lastly Supreme Court has given clean chit to modi for his individual
involvement. If you don’t believe in courts of India, pls do so in US as US is
not granting modi visa which he has not even applied for. In Delhi there is not
a single conviction but at least Gujarat govt has ensured accused to be brought
to justice. Not a single congressman was brought to justice in Delhi. Now
forget Delhi, what about riots in Mumbai in 1993? Do you remember who cm was then?
I would give a small gift to someone who does. It was sudhakar naik, is he
being accused of perpetrating violence in Mumbai 1993? So that means anybody
from congress does not have moral right to rule country. Now what about Tarun
Gogoi aasaam riots in 2012 and muzaffarnagar riots in 2013 under akhilesh
yadav. Why no one is singled out? I will explain what makes modi different for
media and fiberals in my corollary.
Point no 2 and 3:
Congress has apologized for 1984
by appointing Sikh PM and PM himself has said so. Author says even if Modi does that he does not
feel him to be competent to handle issues of India. Now author has forgotten that Gujarat is the
safest state in India for women. Crime rate is lowest. Terrorist are dealt with
as they should be. We have proven case study for last 12 years. So by the same logic, crime against women,
law and order is worst in Delhi right under congress nose. So does that make
competent.
All other matters don’t count
unless basic issue of justice is resolved.
So who delivers justice? It is the Supreme Court in India. And it has
given clean chit. So pls cry in front of
US embassy for final justice. And what matters most for common man in India is
to be part of growth story which was given by P V Narsinha Rao (most maligned
leader of congress and he was most away from congress mentality)and A B
Vajpayee (BJP). What we are today are thanks to these two gentlemen. If you
disagree, then all the best for wasteful subsidies like MNREGA, FSB, RTE. But
then for fiberals, Justice for Gujarat is more important than having better
life for everyone.
If that doesn’t convince remain
at 3-4% of India growth story and India will be taken back in old license raj
of 70s. And i can also hear someone from opposite thought process accuse me of
jaundiced view from other side. But then let’s only discuss points, not the
personal views.
Thanks
Corollary:
Fiberal: Is the liberal minded,
English educated, socially elite Indian who has been benefitted by system for
being close to establishment. This establishment of elites are part of admin,
media, politics and education. This establishment replaced the British at Luytens
after independence. British had reasons to promote minority interest to sustain
divide and rule policy. So these are leftists, elitist always bark about
minority rights. His group has voice in established english media, they travel
abroad and have lot of clout in other government. They are now scared that an
outsider like Modi who comes from vernacular, non elite background to replace
their interest. Thats why Modi is different from other CMs i named under whom
worse riots have taken place.
