Mr Das should have mentioned that The Supreme Court Of India did not find Mr Modi guilty in the Gujarat riots. He was the Chief Minister for a few months when the riots happened. They started because 58 Hindu who were returning from a pilgrimage to Ayodhya in a train, were burnt alive by Muslims. For this 32 Muslims were convicted. The Hindus thus attacked the Muslim areas in Gujrat and 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus were killed in the riots. No one mentioned that Mr. Modi asked the Central Government for help within 24 hrs after the riots began. He also asked the 2 neighboring States for help which they refused. Both these States were governed by Congress.

[@prabhuthomas8770]

@Chandra Shivpuri I have not seen anywhere the number being 254 pilgrims. The tally is 60 or fewer. And thank you for mentioning this because everyone forgets the context. The number 250 and over is the number of Hindus who were killed during the actual riots.

On the contrary, they do seem to have quite a bit to say. And a lot of it also makes sense even to someone living in India, like me. Want to debate Brexit at Delhi University? I don't think the British will object. You can even debate racism in the UK, loud and clear, sitting inside a British University. Or in an Indian university if you want to. Try debating Hindutva at a Indian University, and you will see mobs at the gate. Say what you may, the freedoms to debate and discuss, criticize, mock power, all are alive in the UK. India is not yet there, and I am not sure it will ever reach that level of freedom. Snooty, maybe yes. But better than ignorant, which is usually what you get here, even in the best places.

There hasn't been a single riot after that in Gujrat... Also, the Supreme Court of India has given a clean chit to Mr. Modi on his role during Godhra riots... What abt Mumbai riots started by Muslims in which so many hindus were killed?? What abt the serial bomb blasts which happened on a regular basis in India during the 90s and the congress govt did nothing!! 😡 What abt Mumbai Taj hotel killings during congress era?? What did congress do abt it? Nothing.

Where does mr guru charan das live? Has he ever been stayed in india for more than 5 years? Has he ever spent a day with the children and wife of a daily wages labourer of india? People debating here should first know the life of a common poor indian then they will know that what a big fools they are?

[@anukreddi]

That's a stupid argument. Were all the poor daily wage labourers born in the last 5 years? Archaeologists don't need to have lived in the ancient world to know what they lived like as long as they can gather enough objective evidence. It is more likely that people living in those times would have given a more absurd account of whatever they were going through like all the myths and religious scriptures which make no sense.

Gurcharan Das published books on India from a western thinking prospective ( having been studied through the western curriculum). Does he really understand the grassroot of Indian society from a Indian mind. Mr Das is scared to have dinner with Mr Modi how strange that his mind allows him to fear a simple man who grew up from the have not society of India. I would question Mr Das's intellect mind.

[@neveah4me]

@@NileshKumar-nr2vj I will tell you one important thing you go in a debate with facts and figures and quote from where you have taken this information from and how did you reach to this conclusion which he missed completely. i am also the guy mentioned by gurcharan das in between who neither is pro modi or pro something else . but thinking of ideal solutions is utopia . We have a huge diversity in everything . I challenge anyone to just try to change few people mind in a room based on your opinion . i can definitely say you will get a headache . And this is a countty where we have to cater to billions of people with different sentiments. Changing something which was broken from day 1 will need immense effort and your whole blood and soul . Just ranting and crying about consequences and effects will not lead us anywhere . Why dont they act like real opposition and try to work with the government and counter their wor rather than just do dharna and walkouts from assembly. this is a difficult task but that is what he has to do . if he is there for the right reason then he is there for the people as their servant . he should make sure that whatever government made policies he counters when he sees they are not being propagated properly. We need solutions we need options not gandhi vs modi. And definitely not pure communist pure ideology But prashant bhushan ji to his last week in AAP praised them in his given interviews about the righteousness and ideology in AAP then when he was expelled he started ranting about them...he couldnt change kejriwal's mind if we was so righteous and there were things going wrong in AAP as he mentioned in his interviews after being expelled. They claimed before that party didnt take any money from any dubious company later on showed proofs when expelled. So i don't trust him either. As an option givei would prefer to go with modi in that case than go with mahagathbandhan or rahul because i believe he can do things which others cant. You want facts on that then there links and links on that i can show. And believe me time will only tell and we people need to ask our prime minister where is what we deserved . I preferably will post 1000's of post to our prime minster than waste my time in oxford and with biased news channels.

[@NileshKumar-nr2vj]

@Suhas... It seem like you hate Prashant more than having a poor opinion of his debating skills. If you are reading newspapers everyday you would know everything he has said, you don't have to put out facts for learned people that employment gas risen to 6.1% in democracy index in just 5 years we have fallen to 41st rank from 28th. You don't have to neccesi do that in a few minutes debate. We all know why institutions are in danger, what is up with courts, CBI and Election Commission. We know all of that. So when you said you were going to explain to me I was really hoping you would pick up a sentence of Bhushan and tell me factually why it is wrong and reasonably why it doesn't make sense. But you rather started attacking on his intentions and without any reasons you believe Modi is better. Friend this is not called a logical conclusion. Bhushan talked about economic slowdown, demonetisation we all know as a fact that how much harm is done to the country because of this. Does he needs to quote every single BJP MP including Modi's quote how they are sponsoring unscientific things under the veil of Hindutv and that on the govt platform???? I hope you are aware of all of it. It is also a fact. Now the other guy whom you are praising. I agree to him a little bit because you to make a choice between worst of leaders, given Gandhi and Modi. But I will still kick out Modi and vote for any local MP of mine, not necessarily for Rahul but of any regional party. I can give reasons why but it will be a long post. The man you are praising has hardly given any facts to prove his point, he just concluded that he believes despite being bad he would choose Modi over Rahul... Yes he did talked about EDB rankings and Bankruptcy code reforms and DBT scheme. And I give that credit to Modi govt. But they are certainly not enough to choose a govt. Every govt does some good work. Today are we discussing 50 million make nourished kids? Are we talking about 78 million people in extreme poverty. Does this govt have any scientific ideas of using demographic divident. Well most govt failed on these parameters except a few in Southern India. So rather saying I have faith in Modi I would critise him and critise everyone for that matters because they don't have scientific thinking to solve actual problems of the country. Then after doing that I would silently vote for somebody
