RS: Between 2002 and 2005, Modi marginalised the Muslims in Gujarat and dumped them. He made communal statements like âHum paanch, humaare pachcheesâ (We five and our 25). He made no real efforts to come to terms with 2002 riots. Ask the mothers and daughters of those who killed in that riot. | ||

Don't underestimate Modi; he can marginalise RSS if he wants: Writers weigh in on the PM You may love or hate Narendra Modi, but you canât ignore him. Itâs better not to underestimate Modi â this was the crux of the heated discussion that kept the audience at Times LitFest in Delhi, on Monday, glued to their seats for over an hour. A volley of questions and answers laced with incisive remarks made the Masthead session on âWriting on Namo: Deification or demonizationâ, a thought-provoking one. It attempted analysing the mind of Modi and gauge just how complex was he as a person. It also debated whether he would someday dump the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and move ahead. Opening the session, journalist and author Ajoy Bose said Prime Minister Narendra Modi acquires a particular status because of the insults and abuses he faced on one hand, and the accolades he won on the other. âBut, in a short time, he has become a benchmark in political ideology. After Gujarat riots, Modi was compared with Hitler and was held responsible for âgenocideâ. He was demonised, but this helped him to win elections and he emerged as a cult figure.â The panel comprised journalists Rajdeep Sardesai, Kingshuk Nag and Madhu Kishwar, with Bose as the moderator. All the three panelists have written books on Narendra Modi. Do writers portray the Prime Minister as he is, or hype, propaganda and allegations creep into their description of him? Here's a short. 'The Narendra Modi I knew as a journalist' Rajdeep Sardesai (RS): During the first Rath Yatra in Gujarat, I came in his contact. Heâs a 24x7 politician and a true âKarmayogiâ. Heâs pretty insecure and a very complex man. During an interaction with Facebook founder Mark Zukerberg he cried remembering his mother yet he didnât invite his immediate family members to his swearing-in ceremony. Modiâs private life is a mystery as nobody knows what he did and where was he between the age of 21 and 60. There is a narcissist inside him, but deeply committed to the organisation. by Debobrat Ghose Dec 1, 2015 15:55 IST #ConnectTheDots #Gujarat Riots #Hindutva Agenda #Kingshuk Nag #Madhu Kishwar #Modi's Enigma #Narendra Modi #Rajdeep Sardesai #Rath Yatra #RSS #Sangh Parivar #Times Literature Fest 321 Comments 133 16 You may love or hate Narendra Modi, but you canât ignore him.

Heâs a 24x7 politician and a true âKarmayogiâ. Heâs pretty insecure and a very complex man. During an interaction with Facebook founder Mark Zukerberg he cried remembering his mother yet he didnât invite his immediate family members to his swearing-in ceremony. Modiâs private life is a mystery as nobody knows what he did and where was he between the age of 21 and 60. There is a narcissist inside him, but deeply committed to the organisation. Kingshuk Nag (KN): Modi manipulated his way to Ashoka Road in Delhi and became Gujarat chief minister by replacing Keshubhai Patel as the latterâs regime was known as a corrupt one. He has excellent PR skills and used it intensely on many occasions. I donât think thereâs any demonisation of Modi. He casts himself in an âanti-establishmentâ mode. His public and private personas are very different. Madhu Kishwar (MK): I didnât know Modi in the initial days and had no contact with him. In fact, I was a strong critic of the BJP for long and was not even interested in knowing Modi. But, post-Gujarat riots, I saw my friends and intellectual groups demanding that the US deny him visa and portraying him as a criminal and architect of genocide. But, there wasnât a single FIR filed against him both in Gujarat and elsewhere. The Supreme Court-appointed SIT cleared him of any charges. Under the Congress government worst riots took place in Maharashtra, Assam and other states, but no one demanded denying of visa to the CMs of those states. This compelled me to decode the mystery behind Modi bashing and go to Gujarat to find out the truth for myself. The outcome of this is my book. Which is the real Narendra Modi? RS: The one who used to hail former RSS chief MS Golwalkar as his âguruâ or the latest one claiming Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel as his âidealâ? Once he told me, âI canât speak English. But, one day Iâll deliver speech in English better than you do.â And, today, weâll have seen him speaking English at public platforms. At one point, he didnât like Lutyensâ journalists, but he also wanted them to accept him. He used us astutely. KN: Heâs a fast learner, did and does an intense PR and is a true âKarmayogiâ. MK: While focussing on Muslims of Gujarat, I discovered a different narrative, which was completely different from what I heard from my friends and intellectuals. In Gujarat riots, reports say 262 Hindus and 863 Muslims died, and not otherwise as falsely propagated (thousands Muslims died). This changed my perception about Modi though I was the loudest voice when Modi did a shoddy job in the appointment of his Cabinet ministers. I drubbed him badly. Many alleged that as I didnât get a Rajya Sabha ticket, I criticised him. It is laughable. On Modiâs politics RS: In 2002, the VHP controlled the streets of Gujarat and Modi was scared of Pravin Togadia; but in 2005 he became stronger and finished Togadia. He doesnât like any other person to occupy the seat that he wants to. KN: If needed Modi can distance himself from RSS agenda, like Atal Behari Vajpayee did. As a Gujarati, Modi is very practical, and if needed heâll marginalise the RSS. In one and half yearsâ of his tenure, he couldnât do much, couldnât rein in many. So, now he may occupy the middle ground by keeping the RSS at a distance. But, if he continues to allow Mahesh Sharmas to dominate, only God can save him. He shouldnât be underestimated. The Congress made the mistake by seeing Modi through the prism of 2002. MK: Every discussion on Modi (especially on TV channels) revolves around â âWhy he didnât wear skull cap? But no one talks about the green shawl with Kalima scripted on it that Modi wrapped around him.â Thereâs a sinister plot and sinister forces working behind maligning Narendra Modi. In his concluding remarks, Bose said that no one wants to know the nuances but jumps into conclusions. âThere is two-sides of the Modi story; nothing pro or against Modi.â Top ten takeaways from the debate: Modi is a very complex character. His public and private personas are very different. He is a fast learner and a true âKarmayogiâ. If it suits Modi to marginalise the RSS, heâll do it someday. Anti-Modi activists and pro-Modi bhakts are on both sides and they use Modi as and when it suits their purpose. Donât underestimate Narendra Modi. Some day Modi may occupy the middle ground like his predecessor Atal Bihari Vajpayee. There is a sinister plot and forces working to demonise Narendra Modi. http://www.firstpost.com/politics/dont-underestimate-modi-he -can-marginalise-rss-if-he-wants-journalists-weigh-in-on-the -pm-2528178.html |
