Gujarat and its Controversial leader Narrendra Modi

A populist leader of Gujarat Modi hopes to remake his troubled image an excellent piece in the Economist about Narrendra Modi, his attempts to repair his image and the reason he has to do it, his unabashed trashing by the media in India. As it rightly points out, the richest men in the world like Mukesh Ambani will shower praise on him but the India media and the opposition in Gujarat and the Government in the center will miss no chances to trash his image and brand him as a cold blooded murderer.

SIT Report Trouble for Narrendra Modi? Not Really

Tehelka yesterday leaked the SIT committee's 600 page report which the committee has just submitted to the Supreme Court in a sealed envelope. The report seems to be focused on Indicting Modi of being biased in favor of the Hindu rioters in Gujarat (which Muslims and extremist secularists are already convinced of) and therefore 'implying that Modi could have probably' facilitated riots. The report makes points such as:

1. Narrendra Modi visited Godhra to which he had to travel 300km on the same day as the tragic incident of burning alive of many Hindus but failed to visit any of the riot affected areas where Muslims had been killed by Hindu rioters..
