Question is, if Modi is culprit, why he is not in jail. Congress was in power for atleast 5 years or so, post Godhara. That's how the country is. There is no rule of law and for sure there was never rule of law for politicians). If you have lived in India, you would know there is no difference in Modi or Congress or anyone else. Politicians are gangsters. Modi has done what congress did early. Congress consolidated Muslim votes at the expense of Hindu sentiments, and Modi has done exactly opposite. He has consolidated Hindu votes at the expanse of Muslim sentiments. They are all same.
I wonder how was it possible (I mean where the courage stems from) that supposedly minority group can burn alive hundreds of pilgrims without thinking of consequences. How did kashmiri muslims assumed that there'll be no repercussions of kicking out Hindus from Jammu (oh they didn't leave due to minor inconvenience). The resentment wasn't build in a day(I believe Congress was ruling India in 1990). What did congress government do? Nothing. So to conclude, congress and BJP are equivalent.
Fundamentally they are same but their depth of crimes aren't same. Congress did appease minorities but it never was like 'let us kill all muslims'. Fundamentally and ideologically, congress is neither anti hindu or anti muslim. However BJP/RSS has always been ideologically against muslims. It is in their blood. It is the party of religious bigots. If you read the history of RSS, you'll find RSS was established not to fight british but to fight muslims.
There has always been riots in India. But 2 incidents - 1984 sikh massacre and 2002 gujarat genocide stand out. Why? Because these two were STATE SPONSORED. That is big point here. However, unlike BJP, Congress wasn't arch-enemy of Sikhs. After 1984, congress didn't do anything to hurt sikhs. They even kind of apologized for that. But BJP? It has always been anti-muslims (although Vajpayee wasn't pro violence) and under Modi regime, covert genocide of muslims is going on strongly.
As for Godhra, it wasn't merely against Hindus. It was against the right-wing hindu extremists who demolished Babri masjids. Subtle but important difference. Being Hindu is one thing. Being anti-muslim Hindu extremist is another.
And what happened to culprits of Godhra incident? They all are in jails. What happened to 2002 culprits? They are running the country and they have upped the game of muslim genocide. And that is why we are even having discussion here.
The extent of crimes of BJP and congress aren't same. They both are ugly but BJP is evil personified.
I am Hindu and all my family members and friends are staunch BJP supporters. And yet as Modi opponent, I feel scared. A hindu is scared of criticising Modi. That has never been the case during Congress. Even in 1975, people were able to oppose Indira Gandhi but that is unimaginable now.
And I am saying this as someone who has been hardcore member of RSS for all my life. I am now 44 yr old and I started to drift away from RSS/BJP since Modi came into scene.
Appeasement is bad policy either you appease to Hindus extremist or Muslim extremists. Please don't undersell the BS of Hindu or regional extremism in India. In Mumbai, political powers hate and beatup north Indians. So please don't project the picture, that the glimpses of akhand bharatvarsh are pretty.
Who the fuck are you (or BJP/RSS goons) to decide who is Hindu and who is not? While we are at it, I call people like you nazi. You are what people call right wing Hindu extremists. You are 'useful idiot' for murderer Modi. Your idols are openly saying that every Hindu should rape muslim women. And yet you have the gumption of calling me anti-Hindu. What a sick people you are.
Those RSS thugs didn't even participate in India freedom struggle. So why are they even concerned with partition or freedom?
If I am not a Hindu and hence should move to Pakistan, then you idiots are shedding tears for Pakistani Hindus?
You actually proved me right when I asserted in other comments that anybody who is anti-Modi is declared anti hindu/anti India and is unsafe in India.
