While the Satyam fiasco is still fresh in the minds of the nation, news of India Inc.'s overwhelming endorsement for Modi as PM is the talk of the town. This support, apart from making L. K. Advani very pleased and encouraging him to express saffron solidarity with Modi in his latest blog entry has also frothed trouble for a little known CPI(M) MP in Kerala who talked a little too much by praising Modi's economic policies. The thought of Advani as PM sends shivers down my spine as such (being not so inconceivable a possibility); I fear a slip disk if the Modi speculation draws close to reality.
My trepidation reached highest levels when I saw a video that had Anil Ambani speak the following salutary words for Modi in front of an audience primarily comprising the hotshots of India Inc. It almost sounded as a call to arms:
"If one Dhirubhai can do so much for India, imagine what a thousand Dhirubhais can do. If one Narendrabhai can do so much for Gujarat, imagine what Narendrabhai can do as a leader for India."

A thousand Dhirubhais can ensure that India Inc. evades every possible taxation and can buy out every spoke in the central government with unprecedented impunity. As far as what a thousand Narendrabhais can accomplish for Gujarat or one Narendrabhai for India is concerned, I don't even want to indulge in speculation.

I totally and completely agree with you. It's been less than 7 years from genocide that he and his govt acquiesced with and covertly (maybe even overtly) supported and it's conveniently forgotten. They convene a state inquiry under the same govt and twist it to gain accolades. Unfortunately, I don't see such extreme-right wing politics being defeated comprehensively in the future.
PS: great to have you blogging again regularly! Your posts are always really thought provoking.
Absolutely. I didn't want to repeat the charges against him explicitly in the post but he owes it to the nation to come clean on nothing lesser than 'genocide' as you have put it.
What is more depressing is the total lack of conscience among these corporate tycoons (which includes the Ambani brothers [no surprise there], Sunil Mittal and shockingly even Ratan Tata) while they expressly deify him into an iconic figure. And this is a man who has been denied entry into the US for 'atrocities against humanity'.
P.S: Thanks for the kind words. I blog when I feel the need for it :-). I guess the need has presented itself more often recently.
