Indian Hard-Liner Narendra Modi Leads in Prime Minister Race

[Ken Burch]

53. Opposition to Modi is not a Pakistani conspiracy.

Hindus, Buddhists, secular people and people of minority faiths, by the tens of millions throughout India, oppose Modi.

And btw...I don't "back Pakistan" or endorse Congress...I support the left parties in the election.

If Modi really cared about India, he'd admit that Indian Muslims are just as loyal to the country as Hindus are, and he and his supporters would stop equating opposition to his agenda with covert involvement in Pakistani plots.

Modi may win...but it isn't an endorsement by the people of India of his(and your)hatred and suspicion of Muslims. It's simply the official opposition in a parliamentary election increasing its support by default. In two or three years, when massive anti-Modi, anti-sectarian and anti-capitalist rallies will most likely be sweeping India, will you be calling on Modi to listen to the people, or will you cheer when he sends in the police and the army to break heads, all the while equating all dissent with being "pro-Pakistan"?

Some of us remember when this movie played the first time...in Munich in the Twenties and then in Berlin in the Thirties.
