Modi is coming.... oh the hysteria!

Oh the hysteria on social and traditional media about the eminent advent of Narendra Modi as our next prime minister. Its rather nauscious to see such blind devotion to one man who is extremely tainted and certainly has a dubious character. And the funny bit is that he's the apple of the eye of our full-bellied middle class which has been witnessing unprecedented "progress" for decades now. His supporters are not the hungry or the poor who are desperate for salvation. This is the progressed class looking for even more progress disregarding all and any costs to the essential moral fabric of our country.

India crosses the moral line of no return if Narendra Modi becomes prime minister

If you truly believe Modi is innocent, then you are excused. You then only have to reconcile with having a prime minister who is obviously incompetent at maintaining law and order in a nation where Naxals abound and multiple secessionist movements are ongoing. But if you believe he may be guilty of either ordering the riots or not preventing them, then you cannot comfortably ignore that judgment just because it is convenient to your privileged view of India’s future. To do so is nothing less than cowardice.
