Modi's India by Mike Ghouse

I have been writing about Mr. Modi since February 27, 2002. However, on this special blog dedicated to Modi, my writings include from 11/04/13 - 6/10/14. Most of the other writings about Modi are at http://MikeGhouseforIndia.blogspot.com and http://rivr.sulekha.com/mike-ghouse_100777?t=blogs

With a few exceptions, almost all of the articles published on this Blog - Modi's India would be written by me, and at http://MikeGhouseforIndia.blogspot.com articles written by others are included, that amounts to 20 Articles, plus what the other news papers have written about me including Times of India, Time and Saudi Gazette.

I am fascinated by Mr. Modi, and will continue to monitor him for at least one year.

The accusation leveled against me and Tharoor is that we have changed. We have not! It is actually Modi who has changed, taking a 180-degree turn, and every Indian should welcome it as we do. Modi started speaking the language of inclusiveness that we understood, and the right thing to do is to appreciate it. What we offered was not blanket, wholesale praise but selective praise where he deserves it.

Skepticism is good and without which nothing good can come, and I understand the concerns people have. Over the years, I have learned and spent hundreds of hours researching and writing, listening to his speeches and understanding him. I do connect with him now, and I will stick my neck out and say, things will get better under Modi Sarkar, good days are coming for every Indian regardless of his or her affiliation.

The real conflicts are not between Hindus, Muslims, Dalits, Christians, Sikhs, Jains and others, but between two mindsets. India has two kinds of people; the ones who cherish unity, and the others who relish divisiveness; the ones who believe in freedom, and the others who want to restrict the rights of others; one who believes that all others should surrender to their whims of the majority, and the other believe that every individual is equal; ones who believe minding their own business and the others who meddle in how others live.

Every Indian should have the freedom to breathe, eat, drink, wear and believe whatever the hell he or she wants, then the pragati (prosperity) will be sustainable. If people fight over these issues, our constitution should put them in their place for the common good of Indians.

I must give credit to NDTV - their debates are based on respect for every human, and have defended he undefended and voiceless. They are good for India and I applaud them.

Thank you
Jai Hind

DISCLOSURE

I have been critical of Mr. Modi since February 27, 2002 when Gujarat Massacre took place. I have consistently sought justice for the victims of Gujarat and restoration of their livelihood, but rarely have I sought the pound of flesh. Since the election process began, I have spent over a hundred hours researching, writing, studying and watching tv interviews. Recently, I started writing optimistic notes about Mr. Modi, based on his interviews and his speeches. In the coming 100 days, IF I see his actions match his good words, and he does some praischit as a part of the raj dharma, I will admire that human quality in him, and would believe that he has the potential to be become one of the visionaries of India like Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru who was instrumental in building a stable democracy. Because of my write ups, I will continue to lose a few my friends and that is understandable, but I have to share what I see in this new avatar of Pluralism. We have to learn to live with our differences, and my commitment remains building cohesive societies and I like the new found inclusive pluralistic language of Mr. Modi. I will stick my neck out and say, things will get better under Modi Sarkar, good days are coming for every India regardless of his affiliation.

NOTE ABOUT THIS SITE

This site was opened in 2014 with great hopes that Modi will chase corruption out, bring harmony to the people, and rule of law would prevail. It was hoped that Narendra Modi has done his praischit (repentance) and will serve India.

Instead, what we have witnessed is blatant discrimination against minorities, lynching and killing them for the doubt of possessing beef, killing them for criticising the Government, burning churches and beating up on Christians, Sikhs, and Dalits have been abused over centuries, but all of this has gone unchecked under Modi's rule of lawlessness.

Things will improve if the people of India bring a strong opposition in place to prevent the arrogance of Modi government to do whatever they want.
