Dear
Madhuji, Your article is the masterpiece, wonderful piece of research to guide
the misguided muslims, other Gujaratis, all politicians and also all people in
our country. You have taken lot of pains, lot of research and study to bring
out the truth to the people. This is not one sided or partial; this contents
are truth nothing but truth. Wish you all the best. God bless you.

Dear Madhu ji, Excellent
detailed account of the truth and as a normal citizen of this great country, we
are grateful to you for this exercise. Communal politics has been played by
Congress for several decades and they have reaped benefit of being in power by
scaring the muslims and divide the people. The time has come to now bring
Narendra Modi as PM of India
and we should not talk of Hindus and Muslims separately. We are all one and we
are Indians first. There should be no discrimination in terms of religion.
Religion is purely a personal matter of faith and it should no way come in
between the relationship amongst the Indians. Jai
Ho Narendra Bhai! May God bless you to bring back sanity in the country and
please bring good governance, honesty and enthusiasm among the people who are
tired and fed up with the whole system. Nehru dynasty has totally demoralized
the country and had killed each and every institution of democracy. Let us build a new India
for our next generation !

I hope this material is publicized nationally by all those
who would like to see the true story about Narendra Modi\\\\\\\'s role in Gujarat. The
bias generated against Narendra Modi has been well planned and malicious. As
citizens of India,
we have a responsibility to help remove this unfair treatment given to Modi,
who is one of the key leaders who is needed in today\\\\\\\'s political
vaccum.

Hi Madhu, I agree with your
comments on Modi being singled out as exception despite 1984 riots were worse
ever,why forget Ops Blue Star this too was Cong wrong doings by first creating
Bhinderawala and then killings him and Sikhs. Till date no one in 1984 Riots
accused has been convicted? How Cong can justify Tytler and Sajjan being active
members of Cong As far as Modi Dev Modle is concern, I too is free lance
Journalist despite my Corporate job for living. I too have been travelling
Gujrat extensively. Modi has brought Development but doing big favours to
Adani, Ambani, Arjun Modwadia. All the Roads and Fly Over Contracts have been
given to Arjun Modwadia\'s Company. All the Judges and Journalists have been
given free houses/land for house. Huge Bribery in the System is ON, Modi is
collecting money not for himself but for BJP and it was the competition between
Modi and Gadkari who collects more and dominate BJP, as Gadkari made big chunk
for himself also Modi could nail him.
As Modi didnt make money Cong through CBI,IT,ED etc cannot implicate him
but they will soon Target Adani, RIL etc through IT, Excise, ST, Money
laundering, CAG etc, timing will be anytime or near the Election that Cong\'s
prerogative.I am sure you will find my inputs correct when you travel Gujrat. We are connected on Twitter.

Insight
of Gujarat 2002 riots and happenings there after. How dirty politics and
corruption destroys peace and harmony amongst peace loving population in name
of religion, power and greed is revealed by this writer. Translate in all
languages possible for history does not repeat. Let strong and honest
leadership of the nation pave way for all to prosper and live in harmony in India
and through out the world. There are grey areas still remaining and truth need
to be exposed.

Dear Mr.John Jose Your
comments posted on the 6th of May smacks your deep rooted personal and
political bias and even hatred towards Mr. Sareshwala. Rather than challenging
the facts presented by Mr.Zafar Sareshwala,you have indulged in mud-slinging. The SAT order dt.12/01/11which you
have mentioned speaks volumes of your tainted mindset and political prejudice.
The above order was set aside and expunged by the Supreme Court on 2nd May
\\\'11. You will be glad to know that the orders passed by SAT&SEBI against
Parsoli Corp.were devoid of any facts and so the Chief Justice of India had
passed tough strictures against both SAT &SEBI. I am surprised to know about your
ignorance on the matter that the Gujarat High Court has accepted the contention
and apprehensions of the Sareshwalas and asked them to deposit the money to the
court and not to the German co.Baadr since Baadr had seriously violated the
provisions of the FEMA (act) of RBI; and the German banker was rather forced to
resign for his forgery And Parsoli corp.ltd.acquired Parsoli UK ltd.after
getting all approvals from Govt.of India including RBI, FIPB, Registrar of
Companies, Mumbai stock exchange etc etc. And why should you be uneasy if
Mr.Mahesh Bhatt is their brand ambassador.
And Ms.Madhu Kishwar as I know of her, is a woman who has far more
reaching understanding of balance-sheets and financial documents than you would
have. Not to mention that she has a greater insight to know and understand
people. It was a pleasure for me Mr.J.J.to comment
on your remark.

Dear Madhu This certainly is
a great read and an eye opener on how congress has been dividing Inida for
decades and it\'s agents like Teesta have been promoting hatred amongst
communities.
It is true while the whole world is gunning for Modi, no one seems to be
bothered about 84 riots, Assam riots, Kashmiri
Pundits, lower caste annihilation in Bihar..all
these remain unaddressed and unresolved.
Hope this opens up the populace\'s mind to think and analyse.

Indeed a good piece of journalism, bringing out the fact. My
heartiest congratulations to you, Madhu Jee. I am now fully convinced that good
people have more enemies and if one is a good administrator, it is expected
more. I have opportunity to visit Gujarat
and other states, and I was surprised to see the differences in terms of
development and administration. Modi means business.

from the very beginning that Modiji is clean. paid media continue till day
trying to demonize Modi.so called (paid varisth patrakars)come on tv debates
and talk non sense about NAMO they are insulting us gujratis by insulting NAMO
coz we people of guj elected him with absolute majority for three times now.

I am
the supporter of \\\"SHREE MODI\\\" & had heared about his active
decesion making style, good governance etc. but amazed to watch the perspective
of muslims towards \\\"SHREE MODI\\\". I thought that muslims hated
him as paid media shows but glad to know what gujrat muslims beleive for
\\\"SHREE MODI\\\". Just want to tell GUJRATI MUSLIMS PLS make aware
muslims all over india
& bring a clean majority for \\\"SHREE MODI\\\". muslims must
know that congress & so- called seculars dnt want to solve the
problems of muslims but to get benefitted from getting them out of main
issues & development pls vote for modi and bring \\\"THE
BHARAT\\\" again in making os sona ki chidiya. dnt belive on print /
electronic media as they show only for what they get paid now- a - days in most
of the cases & are busy in showing the imaginary bad face of modi.

Madhuji, This factual information reveling the
truth and getting to the bottom of it was very important today. Thanks for your impartial reporting
and the deep research you believed you need to do to let the truth be known to
citizens of this country. It s a great
job done by you because one innocent is getting hounded for the last 10 years
in this dirty political game played by congress and few other political parties
just to please their vote banks. The name of the game is to secure votes by
misleading voters and then under the garb of fake secularism get elected every
time and rule like kings for next five years. So basically use all dirty
tricks, dirty politics with opponents and grab the power to make more money.
Congress and few other parties have been fooling the voters for the past 65
years and they need to be kicked out of power to save this country. Otherwise
this loot will go on.

............
Madhu
ji, I am an ardent Bhakt of Modiji.
What you have written in this article is know to me back in 2002. I was always
surprised why Modi ji being called \\\\\\\"Hindu Hriday
Samrat\\\\\\\" etc etc. He killed Hindus in cold blood in 2002 through his
police and not muslims.
That said, In few places i would like to know if you are spicing up the
article. I do not think modi ji will ever call VHP as \\\\\\\"this VHP
types will wipe me out\\\\\\\" - he would not compare Bhatt\\\\\\\'s film
with Fanna and parzania - Fanna was stopped only after a guy put himself on
FIRE in jamnagar. Rule of Law
matters only when its Just. In india
Law is not just but a toy in the hands of congress. Modi ji should destroy that
dargah in vadodara, which now protected by center - only because he allowed demolishion
of many Temples, if he could
save an illegal school, then he must tolerate illigal temple. All what you are
saying as favoritism of minority by Modi - is a bad news for gullible Hindus -
if your article\\\\\\\'s dialogues are 100% accurate.
Nimesh Dixit
............
At
last, the right thinking people in Gujarat have found someone who has genuinely
tried and taken the trouble to know the real picture of the state and not that
painted by the outside people.Modi or no Modi; but this is the victory of the
people of the state who are REALLY secular and peace-loving, progressive minded
- by nature.
Thanks a lot!
Harish Khatri
............
Vistasp, It is a pity that lot of people from your
community have not yet woken up to the agenda of these activists and NGOs. One of the agenda is to somehow circle
Modi in one way or the other. For
example, Akaar Patel still thinks that it took Modi Govt 5 days to bring in the
army. It looks like he has to learn math first to know how many days are there
between Feb 28th and March 1. I
was watching the program on TV which included Toorav Ghosh (dont know how is
name is spelled) who was one of the persons who was instrumental in having
Modi\\\'s invitation cancelled. He was mentioning the SC/ST community is also
being persecuted in Gujarat
by Modi. Where did this
perseuction of SC/ST come from all of a sudden. Is he even aware that Modi
himself is a OBC? Even if this is indeed happening, is Gujarat the only place that is happening? Atleast I hope your FB participants do
not involve the likes of Akaar Patel and Toorav Ghosh. I strongly believe and
tell my muslim friends that Muslims lost the case the minute they got the NGOs,
Activists, Human Rights activists involved. I\\\'m
neither for or against Modi. But looking at the intentions of some of these
people I and people like me are really beginning to think if there is any iota
of truth in whatever is being claimed against him. Anyway Good Luck

This
is to the last (156th) response from Mr. S. Chowdhury: If you use the logic of what Tytler,
Bhagat etc. did to buy up the witnesses to question Ms. Kishwar\'s veracity of
her artile, then please note that the same applies to Teesta Setalvad, Javed
Anand and their ilk\'s assertion that Modi butchered muslims. Also, Ms. Kishwar
has clearly said that she has recorded her lengthy conversations of her
intervewees which are open for cross-examinations. Strangely it has become fashionable to
question when it comes to defending Hindus, but how come no one questions
defending the culprits when they are muslims? This is not a communal sentiment
I\'m propagating, just trying to understand why we have this double standard in
India?
I guess it all boils down to vote-bank politics.

Mr.Munaaf Zeena..I don\\\\\\\'t even find it necessary to
even reply you but it is in the interest of peace for the people of Gujarat
that I write this. Your claim to fame is just by writng press-notes and being
an arm-chair critic sitting in London.
Rather than running a hate-campaign please let the world know what you have
done for the muslims of Gujarat.
Zafar Sareshwala is loud and clear and we appreciate what he has done and what
he is doing fir the muslims of Gujarat
for the past 11 years. Your
credibility and your character is well understood about when you disown your
own patron of Council of Muslims Lord Adam Patel. It is noteworthy to state
that a senior most politician of UK and a person of
high-repute like Lord Adam Patel on his visit to Gujarat had met Mr.Modi at
Gandhinagar and he has appreciated the peace and inclusive prosperity of Gujarat. His meeting with the CM of Gujarat
was a slap on your face.

I
would like to respond to R.Saroja : In the scene by scene enactment as has been
of the Gulbarga Hosing society by your self.What sort of amuses one is that
this scene would have been enacted so many times in the court, by leading
lawyers, arguing both for and against it and the library of documentary
evidence that would have been examined and used to come to a conclusion , which
has punished many as has been seen.What i fail to understand , is the arguement
that Rahul Sharma , as has testified , as mentioned by you that a certain
minister had asked the body count to remain same for the two communities e.t.c,
is something in the wisdom of legal fraternity much better placed than your or
mine understanding of how law operates.Now to raise these questions, knowing
fully well this is just a debate , cannot absolve anyone free of charge or for
that matter guilty as well.All these arguments would have been used to the
fullest for the advantage of both parties , goes much beyond a common mans
knowledge.So rather than debate on the verdict , which has come after couple of
reports and a SIT investigation, monitored by the HON S.C , presided over by
the three judge bench.Which probably cannot be challenged again and again , as
this has been happening with appeals and counter appeals of all the aggrievd
parties for the past 10 Years, and surely nothing would hav been left to any
ones imagination to pursue the role of Sherlock Holmes.Which too was done by
the likes of Teesta Setalvad and Shabnam Hashmi, and for which the S.C has come
down heavily on their involvement in fudging facts and documents.Besides we
have also seen lots of people associated with her NGO comming out and saying
what she had been upto.
I am for your information, putting these links to be watched.Please feel
free to draw your own conclusions.

So rather than speculating, kindly accept the verdict.But if by any
means,like, Ehsan Jafri\\\'s widow seems to be wanting to challenge the
absolvement of Modi , the court am sure shall accept her/ anyones plea.But
please enlighten me as to do you believe in the S.C or not.

I
appreciate The efforts to bring the truth, Wonderful article. Well researched.
Kindly get it published in main stream media who supports really to develop india.
A message to those who write one sided story instead of facts...PATRAKARO
DALAALI CHODO, DALAALO PATRAKARITA CHODA. A Common man doesn\\\'t come to know
the facts, he depend on the news he watch & read...don\\\'t fool them
please..it\\\'s not just news for him it\\\'s a emotion. He get confused whom
to believe....I don\\\'t know whethier the channels will support you to bring
the recordings live..Because when i saw you on tv telling about this article
you have researched.....i also saw the host telling, she have wrote against
modi in 2002 and now how could her stand change. Try your level best to bring
video recordings live on electronic media. Let the country see why Mr. Modi can
provide a good leadership to India
& how is he attached to ground level with A MANGO MAN. I have no words to
appreciate.....BEST REGARDS

To the
guy who has posted links to his own FB page,
You\\\'re implying as if your FB friends are a heterogeneous crowd with
different opinions while the people who\\\'ve commented on your page are people
who\\\'ve made career through 2002 riots. At one point, you yourself post
disbelief over Modinamas as something that is trying to change the images
you\\\'ve wrt 2002 and as if that alone is a sin. There is one guy (only) who posts
alternate POV and has been ridiculed over and laughed at. Everyone has their bias and Madhu\\\'s
articles are primarily about how a single man has been targeted and vilified by
an army of journos that made their career because of Modi himself.

Excellent,
a very well written and researched article. Keep up the good work. There are
many facts in your articles that I was unaware of previously. Your articles can
go a long way to bring out more clarity on the Modi persona. I hope, as a next
step, someone makes a documentary on the basis of your articles and show the
opinion of the common public in Gujarat,
good or bad. We want to hear more unbiased opinions from all sections of the
society. And capturing it on camera will bring more authenticity. I believe a
true ground level opinion video has been sorely missing. Thank you for taking

publicity and his own reluctance in coming forward to defend himself is now
solved thanks to u Madhu ji, .. we need people like him who work primarily for
the benefit of the society ina amanner totally inknown to us indians... hope to
see him our PM soon

This
is a real eye opener article. Your hardwork in assimilating the facts and
figures, innumerable interviews, dedication and the honest approach has really
put a lasting impression on me. Modi
currently is the only leader who spells optimism. His deeds and results over
the last 10 years have really forced me to re-believe in the potential India
carries for tomorrow.An enigmatic, bold and visionary can surely make our India
a real super power. Loved his one quote for SRCC speech that he wants the world
to line up for an \'Indian Visa\'. This itself means a lot. Your efforts to revive and clarify and
present the truth will not go waste. May
truth prevail. Wish you continue with same spirits. All the best.

Being
a Hindu and witness of 2002, I had same image about Modi Ji as what paid media
claims so far and injected in my mind. Lately I moved to Mumbai for last 6
years and Many of my friends (including Muslim friend) conveyed how Gujarat
is developing and its benefited to everyone. I could see the difference on my
every visit back home but details was not known like you wrote on these
articles. Really impressive and I understand how much efforts its required to
gather all this info. Thank you and please keep writing and exposing the paid

you did great job but. but... i
am still confuse. i read all the comment and i didn\'t find any comment from
muslime!!!!! as per the
background of Mr zafer (i respect him) he is good person and can influence
muslime lot. by this time i think 30 to 40% musliem should have aware. why
muslime still relecting to said truth? could
you ask this question to mr zafer?

Dear Madhuji, Being Modiji\'s
fan I thought I knew pretty much about him but the way you put facts together
with crosschecks is amazing. I
watched your video and got interested in reading Modinama. I could not stop and
read all five staying up till 4:00 o\'clock in the morning. Modiji is a saint and if he was not a
politician he would\'ve be a top saint or great social worker. ( I have read,
watched and heard that he spent him younger life in Himalaya
roaming) I strongly believe that
media, NGOs etc. intentionally defaming Modiji and hiding truth and slowing him
down to serve the country are traitors and they are not wishing well for the
country. People bringing out true Modiji are helping Country and they are
really patriotic people. I hope
to see more about Tista Setalvad filing fake FIRs. How can someone show true Modiji to
whole country if media is not ready to show it? Please help our nation.

their mouths for getting minor things done by the administration. I can hence
understand when he mentions that things have drastically improved not through
any financial concessions but just through oiling of wheels of governance or as
he has mentioned - removing spokes from the wheels. I am hugely impressed by Mr.Modi and
his brand of inclusive governance. This is because of two reasons:
1. This is easy and cheap method of governance. Focus on easy to do things
like infrastructure. People (specially Indians who are world renowed for
\\\"jugaad\\\") will automatically pick up the pieces and make a
beautiful country. They just need probing in the right direction.
2. Inclusive governance completely removes the need for politics based on
caste and other baseless factors as far as growth is concerned. This is
possibly the reason why Mr.Modi has not replied to any allegations made against
him with respect to his handling of various religions. Unlike one of the
comments where this is the only negative the gentleman has found against the
CM. His actions speak much louder than his words.
I have one challenge for Mr.Modi and one comment for all people who speak
against him. The latter first: Please as the author has mentioned, come up with
FACTS instead of baseless rhetoric from partisan media to malign any leader. IF
you are serious, please go to the parts of the country for which you are
preaching and first see the reality on the ground.
For Mr.Modi: Sir, while my best wishes to you and hope that your work can
be continued not just in Gujarat but across the country, I would love to see a
time without \\\"backward\\\" or even \\\"minority\\\" ceases
to be a word in Indian politicos dictionary. If everyone is treated equally and
everyone knows and understands that they are treated equally, these words will
lose relevance automatically. My hope is that we can strive towards this aim.
Again, my kudos to Ms.Madhu for writing from her
heart.

Madhu Kishwar,My sincere thanks for the great efforts and painstaking research
you have undertaken to author 6 parts of MODINAMA. Besides tireless touring;
talking to people; checking and corroborating evidences; it must have taken a
lots of doing. And all right thinking Indians shall always be grateful to you
for this great job. Needless to mention, while unearthing the TRUTH, you have
also helped expose many a myth, unmask sophistry, highlighting utterly false
propaganda of so-called secularists. I am sure, looking back you too must be
ruing over the fact that you once shared opinions of the same pseudo
secularists you have now exposed. I wish to end on a optimistic note that and
sincere wish that let your MODINAMA become a harbinger of much needed change to
liberate India

appreciate your courage, because you know, by stating facts on Gujrath, you are

12 year bad time of Modi is getting over and terrible times have started for
his opponents including the one on this board who is planted. It was your
article which i happened to read by chance which opened my eyes as well and
after everything fell in place like a jig saw puzzle. The past two months i

the relevant material. A big thank you for opening my eyes and heart. I and my

Bhagwan Josh writes: DEAR MADHU, I have read your modinama articles. They are
good for those who are interested in exploring the aspects of truth by going
beyond the powers of propaganda. READING YOUR ARTICLES HAVE CREATED NUMEROUS
QUESTIONS IN MY MIND? YOU HAVE SAID THAT 31 PERCENT MUSLIMS HAVE
VOTED MODI. YOU MUST BE HAVING SOURCES TO CALCULATE THAT FIGURE.It still leaves
about 70 percent of the Muslims who still continue to believe modi as a demon.
The question that i ask myself is this: How come such a large section of the
Muslims continue to hold this opinion? On the basis of what? Or is it a
politics of deepseated irrationality? Is it purely due to secular propaganda?
Why is it that secular propagandists have succeeded in constructing Modi as an
individual of demonic features and proportions? When i read your descriptions
of what Modi did to stop the carnage, i was gripped by a terrifying feeling.How
strong must be the emotion of hatred in the minds of large number of Hindus
that despite all efforts of the administration the mobs could not be stopped?
Rather, the mobs continued to kill the Muslims completely undeterred by the
fear of shoot-at-sight.Don't you think these questions must also be asked to
lay bare another facet of truth NOT ONLY about Gujarat but also about India?

alignment with the loving universe, releases the chains that bind us mortals. Therefore perhaps the love we ALL need

that with which some people hate. Let us ALL surround ourselves with only

@R.
Saroja, Media reported so much about Godra and Gujarat
riot. But most of them are factually wrong. For instance, times of india
reported about Modi\'s action and reaction statement, which turned out be
wrong. All the media reported on ripping apart the foetus of a pregnant woman,
which turned out be false again. Therefore, if you have studied these cases on
your own as Madhu Kishwar has, then your argument is credible. Today media has
left with no credibility. Even SIT report questioned role of media during the Gujarat
riot. Finally she is only presenting what is stated in SIT report. If you have
any better evidence related to disposing of 59 dead bodies, why don\'t you help
those families get them justice. Why is Teesta silent on this issue? Is it
because, Modi can\'t be targeted and this issue related to Hindus?
Pradeep Hegde
..........
@RSaroja It doesn\'t matter, whether 59 burnt
alive were Kar Sevaks or not! What matters is, that they were burnt alive! Cremating them on the next morning (or
by whom) doesn\'t matter either, as they were already burnt alive! As far as DNA samples go, it\'s a
basic practice, to retain the samples for future use in investigation, so there
was no attempt to \'destroy\' evidence! Keeping those bodies for longer would
have created more anxiety and tension! The
whole point of this article was not about Godhra! It was about the planned
attack by a highly corrupted and interested group of people, and Congress, on
the basis of completely false and twisted facts (actually fiction) on Narendra
Modi. But of course, you didn\'t
get that point and went into quoting Newspaper articles on Godhra! While you
are at it, why don\'t you read more recent findings about SBhatt and TWeesta? Moronic people like you are the
reason, why India
is where it is!
Indialover2013
..........
@Madhuji
- Great research. Thank you for pursuit of truth.
@Saroja: Don\'t brush off evidence of Sanjeev Bhatt and how various people
such as Teesta & Manoj Mitta worked together to make up evidence. This is a
danger to the judicial system, democracy and seeking truth. By making up
evidence, they lost all the credibility and even the real follies of Modi. I am
not sure if you can ever comprehend this. Not just you, not even Police adhere
to this and hence lose all the credibility. As I have seen people like
Arundhati ROy & Teesta start creating lies and stories to justify their
outrage. At some point, no one has credibility any more.
Manoj
..........
Whether
reader is a Modi-supporter or Modi-basher, the fact reniams that (a) Mr Sanjiv
Bhatt chose to remain silent for almost 10 years. One should ask why, when we
had so many enquiries? (b) Though vast majority of our police officers are
honets, whether everyone ackowledges or not, everyone knows how corruption has
penetrated our police service. With the shady background Mr Bhatt is alleged to
have, are you implying that he did not try to negotiate / blackmail Mr Modi to
\'wiped clean\' his record? If I was a betting man, I would say that probably
happened, and someone probably refused to do this, resulting in these
allegations against Mr Modi.Mr Bhatt should be tried on his own merit and Mr
Modi is already being tried on it\'s own. If we percecute Mr Modi on one sided
bias, we are slipping into lawless ness.

I
think Modi needs to give a presentation, like he did when he started his speech
at FICCI, where he de-constructs each and every lie with an accompanying
photocopy of the documents submitted to SIT contradicting the existing
MSM/congress narrative. Now that the SIT report has been accepted by the SC,
these documents should come into the public domain, and no one better than him
to do it. Its actually a credit to his honesty and the fact that he does
everything by the book that he has all this documentation to support his
arguments.
I hope if you get to meet him you let him know that its not enough to just
keep quiet and not fight back. A lot of people have been rooting for him in the
background, and he owes it to his supporters to take the lead - there\'s
nothing wrong in fighting for your honour. Not just that - once these are made
public he should warn anyone in the media that if they again say something like
\'Modi took 4 days to call in the army\' - he will take them to court for
slander.

Dear
Madhuji, Ye Dil Mange More ! Just gone thru the link provided by a
comment-er Saroja to a Feku (Nama) Blog. If Saroja is so convinced that there
are half truth in SIT report then she should join Teesta and go to court. Saroja (a teesta Bhakt), attempted to
say that you (Madhu Kishwar) have provided half truth written by SIT and the
Court and Judge based on these half truths given clean chit to Modi. Madhuji, I know that whatever you are
writing, is with full conviction and you must have reasoned it out from all
angles.You have proven to be more credible source than MSM and these Teesta
Bhakts who are writing these FekuNama\'s. It is evident that they are
intellectually bankrupt when (miserably) trying to present TRUTH but naming it
as FEKU NAMA. Some comment-er (Dr Mahanjan) has to point it out to Saroja that
he/she made a self GOAL by naming that BLOG as FekuNama. I feel Teesta, Varadrajan and their
Bhakts should be sued for wasting tax payers money, creating false
reports/evidence and influencing the witnesses, and contempt of judicial
process/court. Let the
Teesta\\\'s latest curative petition come thru, I wish someone should file
cases against these people who have created false evidence and witnesses. Lastly, Thankful to you for taking up
this issue, which in itself a bold step. I wish, more power to you from friends
who are genuine and truthful and should stand up with you in this process.

Teesta Bhakt, \"@Sadanand Patwardhan\". Let me say that to (Teesta) Bhakt Patwardhan, that, if he thinks, Modi

case against SIT for doing shoddy investigation.

anything Hindu - and they just lapped at the opportunity as a once in a life

I am a faculty member of University of Pennsylvania. Upenn has recently received significant media attention owing to the Wharton disinvite extended to Mr. Modi. I felt that the action was utterly disgraceful, and have written (in NITI-central) and spoken in public platforms against the move. In my writings and speeches, I have articulated in part why the action was in gross violation of academic values irrespective of Mr. Modi's politics; I have also articulated why Mr. Modi deserved to be heard because of his progressive & inclusive governance agenda. Your article has strengthened my conviction that I have done the right thing! Thank you very much.
Saswati Kak , Faculty, University of Pennsylvania
.........
Thanks you so much for this report, and I look forward to reading the future additions. I hope this gets more coverage in the general press, for its challenges people to look beyond easy slogans and listen to the voices on the ground. Within the context of Indian Muslims, it is only very recently that the Muslims outside North India or as I think the Urdu belt have been allowed to represent themselves in their own way and in the light of their own experience.
I'm grateful you undertook this immense task and are now sharing the results. No doubt you will soon be attacked in the usual manner, with people giving little attention to the fact that you have kept your own conclusions out of the account. That what you have given us is a chance to hear what several thoughtful people (I must exclude Mr. Pathan, not that I know him; his personal antagonism is just so loud.).I hope you also met with Maulana Vastanawi. It would be useful to hear his views, and more importantly the views of some of the students in his schools. It was the incident at Deoband that first stopped my knee-jerk responses to Modi and Gujarat. It reminded me strongly of my belief that the undue importance given to Urdu/North Indian Maulanas and 'leaders' is a major obstacle. These people have only one monotonous response to everything: we should be given more 'reservations.' Their mindset is not very different from that of their elders before 1947. They still talk of special status and special history. If I had the funds and energy I would organize a small conference of those Muslims from outside the Urdu/Hindi belt who are active in politics, business, and education in such states as Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Kerala. Anyway, I very much look forward to read more parts of the Nama you have started.

Dear Madhu this
certainly is a great read and an eye opener on how congress has been dividing India for
decades and it\'s agents like Teesta have been promoting hatred amongst
communities.It is true while the whole world is gunning for

riots, Kashmiri Pundits, lower caste annihilation in Bihar.
All these remain unaddressed and unresolved.Hope this opens up the populace\'s mind to think

Thanks for an in-depth and seemingly honest research Madhu.
I\'m a fan of yours through TV debates and your offbeat views about draconian
dowry laws. Whatever happened
during riots was highly condemn-able and unfortunate however this selective
targeting of Mr. Modi is a very shameful and dishonest part on Congress and
other parties who primary basis of politics is divisive politics. I\'m very positive about Modi\'s
vision towards building a better India. But, I was very optimistic
about profiles of Dr Manmohan Singh and his cabinet too when they started their
office in 2004. No other person
in Indian politics is anywhere close to the leadership abilities of Mr. Modi.
For Congress, Mr. Pranab Mukherji could have been a possibility but Congress
sycophants sidelined him by giving him an ornamental presidential post to make
way for Mr. Gandhi. while digging their graves only deeper. My vote is for BJP only when it
projects Mr. Modi for PM. Otherwise, I\'m not sure I\'d vote for BJP. Their
general style of politics in recent years has focused on projecting Congress\'s
con instead of projecting their own pros. Modi is different than BJP\'s general
style of politics though.

With every single person we come into contact, we are either
giving love or we are not. And based on what we give, that is what we receive. Narendra Modi gives love to others
through kindness, encouragement, support, gratitude, humility and many good
feelings. It will always come back to him multiplied infinitely & Madhuji
you are a brave example showing all of us that \\\"what is malleable is
always superior to that which is immovable\\\". We wish you all strength to hold your
vision and trust the process.

Maam, You are doing a great job, bringing out
the truth, abt MSM hate-campaign against Modi, since 2002. Till now, ppl had no
outlet and a voice, but internet, SM, and honest journalists like you are like
a ray of hope. We have had enough of Modi-bashing and millions of lies from the
main stream media. I salute you, Maam. You are doing a great service to
democracy and truth

Again my salute to your mind blowing writing
style. This article will unite Hindus and Muslim without any state sponsored
scheme. While reading this I often thrilled by the way Muslims are being
treated in Gujrat of Modi. I can not resist myself to say \\\"Madhu
Kishwar Jindabad\\\"...

Modi baiting agenda will read these articles. Why is he being vilified by the

Dear Madhuji; I
saw u on \\\'Headlines today\\\'last night, and was simply floored with the way
u tried to bring out the facts on 2002 riots .Your appeal to Modi haters
including media was forthright asking them to see the writing on the
wall.However ,i doubt whether the paid rooks will ever learn the lessons.U are
one of the very few who has shown the courage of taking the bull by the horns.
Many many thanks.-

Madhuji, An
excellent unbiased journalism. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Let Modi haters know that it was a
propaganda personalized against Modiji.I. Actually most communal party in
Bharat is The Congress. How to divide the Hindustanis on the basis of religion
and rule them has been well executed by them learning from Btitishers). Due to
this division only Coalition Government has mushroomed. And then the blame game
starts. The truth has got its own
devine way of emerging out and you, Madhuji, are that divine way. Thanks a lot
again. I hope congress party people will go thru\' this and obviously the
existing Nehru - Italian family can not digest it. Thanks again. Waiting for your 2nd
part. And one last thing to mention - I got so glued to the text that I completed
reading at one go.
Basanta Kumar Mahalik, Pondicherry
.........
Thank you for the true piece of journalism. We Gujaratis have seen this
Anti-Modi(Anti-Gujarati)circus rolling on for 10 years now. But, we knew from
our heart what exactely happend during that unfortunate time. We stood by our
CM and it forced indian from other states to see the fact beyond what Main
Streem Meadia trying to feed them. That paid the dividend here though after
long time. I would be happy if
you can come more often on prime time television debate like you appeared on
\'Headline today\' yesterday. As
a Proud Indian, I would congratulate to present the true picture of my state.
God bless you

Thanks for the
unbiased, fact based articles. And kudos for not surrendering to \"popular

It
takes great courage and large heartedness to look at issues afresh and change
one's opinion. Hats off to you for looking at things differently. In India, Freedom
of Speech was curbed deviously by creating NAMO -the demon. You will find a
site by Pamela Geller 'Atlas Shrugs' worth visiting. She is campaigning against
Jihad giving instances of intolerance and curbing of freedom of speech in US
and also other locations. Discount it to some degrees as too far right wing.
Still frightening!!
Abhay Dixit
.........
Many thanks for this article! Alas! I can\\\'t use
this piece immediately in its current form in my classroom, much as I would
like to do so though! Your initiative reminds me of a great Historian\\\'s
craft to listen to \\\'the small voice of history\\\' against the grain of a
manufactured consent with or without state control.However,a few issues still
remain up for reflection. Why, for example, did Modi seem to give a free hand
to the likes of V.H.P. in the initial phase of riots? Did Modi break away from
the politics of the VHP later on purely humanitarian grounds or was it a clever
political ploy which paid rich dividends?
Mukesh Srivastava
.........
Here I would like to draw the attention of Respectd
Madhu Kishwar that as she has got the courage to reveal the facts relating to
Gujarat riots,she will further add to her opinion and ours if she can collect
the news papers of that time when the car sevaks were burnt.she should go
through the statements of leaders of various so called secular parties and
leaders like Mulayam,Lallu which instigated the riotsThey used foul languages
against those who were burnt in the train and thus increased the fury of Hindu
community and was the main reason behind riots.
Arun Gupta
.........
Just wish if every CM, Minister, Politician are able
administrator like Modi. Hope he will be our PM one fine day and usher in the
\"Development Politics\" and put to end the
\"Partisan/divisive\" politics played by all the other politicians in
India

Balaji Srinivasan
.........
Thank You for the
courageous and honorable work, I often repeat in my tweets and other conversations,
that if media could do its job the way it is meant to be done, India would be
a different place. I admire the courage, guts
and the nerves of Steel of Mr. Modi to have withstood the onslaught of
lies/cursing/abuse for 12 years and still did the good work he did. Truly a
Sardar and Hope He gets his due and India gets a prime minister like
him. Thank You Once Again for not
being cowed down by \"secular\" onslaught; and made the effort and
time to dig the truth where others simply made their careers on the misery of Gujarat.
Aditya Trivedi
.........
hey Madhu,-good work. You have a brain and can think .modi haters probably
know the truth about modi. However politics makes them attack him.i have
finished my book on India.
I have praised modi and said he is the best leader India has at present. This is based
on my experience as an engineer and environmentalist. He is a sensible,
imaginative, no nonsense leader.

Wow Madhu, after I
read yr entire piece shall I offer my comments. Impressed by yr sincere attempt

on the ground.

Thanks. Waiting for
part 2.Just wish the media was as honest as you and would take trouble to work
hard and get the truth out. I feel we Gujjus have got one more voice to tell
the truth to the world. May god give you strength to fight the onslaught from
every quarter.
Mayur
.........
Have
never read such a detailed description of post-2002 Gujarat
anywhere else. Initially I thought this is just going to be some Pro-Modi
propaganda article, but was completely surprised when I read it. Cannot imagine how the so called
Activist Teesta Setalvad could file frivolous cases on Investigation officers
of the riots. It is high time we set some decent standards for these liberal
and pro-justice ideologues. These people should be completely exposed.

A wonderfully well
crafted factual work --- although I am sure it wont get the widespread media

Madhuji you deserve grateful thanks of the truly secular people who want Truth

decades.
K.C Sharma

MadhuJi, wonderfully
written and waiting for the second part- the section about Mahesh Bhatt was
revealing (something which he won’t admit publicly) I expect him to disown what
you wrote
Mohan
.........
Congratulation for this inspiring recital.
Though I wanted to pause and continue, I could not as the writing is so
captivating that it kept ringing in my mind as a synchronized poetry of factual
revelations. This is why I wish to call this as a recital rather than an
article. Like Modiji who shows readiness to here, see, learn and act without
any fear or favor, I found your opening remarks wherein you fer not to register
your initial doubts on Modiji involvement in the lines of his detractors only
to substantiate the actual facts through your own experience in the field. I
like the writing style. I can visualize in my mind\\\'s eye what I was reading.
If I may permit, Madhuji, I wish that you make a specific write-up on Teesta
and the facts nd truths behind all her roles as to a person like me I can get
to hear only what the crooks in the media say. Each one them confuses each
other and all confuse all issues. Even when Teesta lies loudly in some media,
the anchors seem to enjoy the verbal fight between her and the other panelists.
Anchors seem to be afraid of her similar to how they behave when the very word
Sonia is mentioned by anyone on any occasion. Look forward earnestly to the
continuation. Thanks very much Mamji. My GOD Bless you and your efforts.
Rangesh Ram
.........
Fantastic article! I always failed to understand why the outer world is always
crying foul play about the Gujarat administration, but when I interacted with
the Muslim community (2008-2009)in some of the districts like
Ahmedabad,Mehsana,n others, they were pretty ok. infact, they were giving
positive feedback thru n thru which initially shocked me & made me wary
that maybe they are lying coz of some unknown/unseen threat but then I realized
it not so, they genuinely liked his governance.
Sanghamitra Dhar
.........
Very fluently written. I am puzzled by one
FACT - the Koranic injunctions against kaffirs -http://www.vigilonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=55.It is all very well for Hindus, yes, Hindus to have a
duty to protect Muslims in Hindustan - but what corresponding duty do
Muslims have towards Hindus in Hindustan? Who can deny the
darul harb > darul Islam obligation of every momin? Nowhere,
but nowhere, in the world where the abrahamisms have conquered have they
allowed significant pagan populations to survive. Nowhere in the territories of
these monotheisms is there a meaningful survival of any pre-monotheism, any
paganism. There is not one significant exception to this worldwide historical
fact. Why is Islam or, for that matter, Christianity in India expected to be
historically different? How can they be trusted? I put it to
you that they are like cancers in our polity - ultimately they will kill us.

Abhinav Sharma

Great
Anecdotes throwing light on ground realities in Gujarat.I wish Modi had managed
media well and communicated the reaching out part that he is doing on the
ground rather than making it a road show. I guess he is afraid of Hindu Vote
backlash. Must say BJP spokespersons have done a great disservice to Modi by
not putting forth facts when it comes to Modi\\\'s riot handling and secular
credentials. Hope Journalist can look beyond their jaundiced eye and digest
this article.
Pawan
.........
Madhu,
by doing this research you have not only tried to put forth facts as we all new
them but could not articulate. You are also doing a service to the nation by
exposing the self interests who are targetting Modi only because they enjoy the
support or patronage of Congress. Thank you for this
Colonel S.P Sharma
.........
After reading this my respect for Shri Modiji has gone up
several times and I think India is yet to see a leader like him and there is
every necessity to spread this not just in India but even outside where the
Anti-Hindu Paid Media is spreading lies and lies and inturn damaging the whole
fabric of a vibrant India.
Prem Kumar
.........
Please
take care whilst doing this stupendously fantastic work of revealing the truth
to the people of India. Please
protect yourself from \\\'the long hands\\\' and their revengeful agenda. Endless press notifications and public
statements by these so called activists are a form of trying to defend their
actions. When they need to go on defending themselves, they do not have
freedom. And without freedom, there is a constant state of conflict: One that
is a self-protective destructive cunning that is taken for intelligence! Eventually the truth always prevails;
thus they get more enraged as can be seen from TV interviews. With their
inherent nature, they even pelt out such treatment to whom they seem to call
their own - this is a result of having neither Faith nor Grace. We wish you all the best of luck to
accomplish what you have taken on, to reveal the truth to this country.

Hats
off to you!! Superb piece of Journalism. To
write this piece needs lot of courage, it is like swimming against the stream. I hope your deeds should inspire many
more journalists to go deep into the story and also tie all loose ends to
cross-check that all pieces of puzzle fits in proper place, before even
commenting on it.
PS: Felt you should have got more from Mahesh Bhatt;
you left him half way without asking for more from him.

Very insightful and convincing article. True journalism - it shows, when
someone makes an effort to turn a few rocks and discover the truth. As a
resident of Gujarat, I feel that what I instinctively knew through my daily
life experiences in Gujarat has finally been put on a paper in an objective
fashion. Brave, path-breaking and most importantly truthful reporting. Madhu
you have won a fan for life.

This is a thorough, rigorous, and objective analysis
of Mr. Modi\\\'s governance, his response to crises, and his steadfastness in
the face of an assault that would have made any other person run away to the
mountains. Ms. Kishwar\\\'s report, we hope, will not just redeem Mr. Modi but
put an end to the project of calumny that the secularist/progressive cabal has
pursued. Ms. Kishwar should receive the gratitude of a grateful Indian public.

Thanks for exposing anti Modi propaganda. Hats off to great man Modiji. Please compare 1969 riots with 2002
riots with facts and let people know how congress government compares.Mody
haters should be ashamed of their lies.
Pardip Gor
.........
I don\'t know how but I actually read full article
word by word. Partly because it was written by Madhu. I am a Jain by religion
and had my doubts on Modi\'s role in 2002 riots. But after reading this article
a lot of things are clear and making more sense to me. I am feeling bad for
doubting Modi by believing media stories. Please continue the good work.
Jinesh

I
don’t know what 2 write about it its change my all the way thinking of modi .The way media
projecting him and the way ZAFAR sahab tell us through you we as Muslim think
deep about it or maybe more member of Muslim community come forward and do
support to modi atleast I do my bit..
Naved Khan

A bit too detailed, but an amazing read, you've
got to turn this into a book. Detailed
research with facts and dates to disprove the \\\'Modi is a demon\\\' by a
mainstream journalist with no agenda is truly a first. Your honest to your profession and
that's what really counts. Way to
go Madhu...

Nirav Rokadia
.........
Mam
you are very true. All spread lies about Gujarat and Modi. No body is
secular. We Indians believe forgive and forget. So again no body should be
allowed to reopen the wounds of those black days. If in this manner,
governments start discussing all the time Gujarat and start reopening the past
cases, then what will happen to Kashmir where Hindus have been totally wiped
out from the valley.In that state almost 50 thousands people have so far died.
Sir what will you say about the 25 long years of militancy in Punjab, in which
more than 70 thousands people were killed. Sir similarly in the ethnic
and communal violence since independence thousands and thousands of people died
in the north eastern states. In all these states how many terrorists and
killers have been punished. Similarly in UP, Bihar, Kerla, Bengal etc.,
communal riots are the regular phenomenon but rarely any body has been
punished. UP alone has wtnessed almost 30 communal riots during the last one
year and the SP government is very proudly called secular. . So instead of
reopening of the Gujarat and Modi again and again secularist must think about
other issues. They must shun communal and divisive politics.In the name of vote
banks communal hate is mongered by leaders. In this cauldron all the leaders
and political parties are guilty.The branded communal and branded secular,
truly speaking both are responsible for riots. No body is truly and honestly
secular. By their vitriolic attack on Modi and Gujarat they may get some new
post but they have lowered the dignity of nation.
Yogesh Sharma

It will be better if you could send
other instalments of the story which you have so laboriously prepared and which
must be known to everybody and which unfortunately has become a tool of
political propaganda not only in India but in USA and other countries also. I
congratulate you for doing such a fine job.

Great series of articles Madhu. I am glad that at least
someone has made a genuine attempt to understand the truth and pursue it. Wish
you all the best. This should be carried by all major newspapers and websites,
though whether they will I do not know
Anirudh Joshi

Dear Madhuji, Thank
you for writing such an insightful article about Narendra Modi. It is
heartening to see that ethical journalism still exists in India. Eagerly
looking forward to future additions to this story.
Deborshi Hazra
.........
Madhu ji,I admire your
sense of fairplay, unbiased research, fearlessness and objective search of
truth, although I am not convinced that Modi is entirely a victim of
circumstances beyond his control. We think that his Sabarmati experiment is a
total waste of resources and actually nothing short of a land scam, where the
river's flood plain has been put on line for a western style river front that
is most inappropriate in a tropical and monsoonal country like ours. So
much for his development model.

"as if he
personally carried out all the killings during the riots of 2002?” "as if
Hitler or Stalin carried out the killings personally, and above all, only few
millions are attributed to them. They say 170 million got killed in last
century…. as it only Delhi gang rape happened , and should it get so much media
publicity, we have so many rapes happening daily as if Modi is the only Devil
CM, we have forgotten other Devils names, let us begin to count the Devils
in our great Indian Democracy, or it is now too late, rather it is now better
to nail the people who made huge noise about Modi and showed us his real face.
The other CM are giggling all the time. What should we do, Elect Modi as
PM and let him help Muslims to feel safe
Inder Salim

Thank you for the above article. Mainstream media\\\'s view
from the outside has always been anti Modi. For long I have wanted to read the
account of an insider from Gujarat. Mr.Zafar\\\'s side of things should be
known to the world.
Ashish Kumar
.........
I have
been following you in TV debates and have a very good opinion about you, and
now my beliefs are only strengthened by your true and impartial account of
ground realities in Gujarat. I
want to congratulate you for being able to put facts together in a case ridden
with so much of political interventions and media frenzies. I being a resident of Surat city can
say that Mr. Modi has actually delivered on governance, and it is clearly
visible. But the bigger worry
that i feel is,if a man like Modi can be maligned by the prominent political
masters, and our journalistic socities form an active part of such an
endeavour, how do we guarantee that our democracy would truly preserve the
democratic ideals that were enshrined in the constitution.
I have had a sense of the facts put forward by
you in this article for some time, but not in the detailed format that I
noticed here. I want to thank you for supporting the truth and making an
impartial publication. I would be
still better to see if you could encourage friends from media to do the same.

Lot of
research & study has been done, which has resulted in this wonderful
article. The leader who was called mass murderer has proved to be a mass
developer. I was witness to many killings and other crimes in Delhi &
Haryana during \'84 anti Sikh riots and it is surprising that perpetrators of
those riots pretend to be the champions of minorities’ welfare. Thanks for this
piece
Nahush Jain
.........
Thank
you for giving us an excellent view of what really happened in Gujarat 2002. I
live in Hyderabad and I can tell you that Congress does not want Hindus and
Muslims to live together. They manufacture and trigger all violence in the name
of secularism. Andhra, under present Congress government, was converted into a
complete casteist society. To be sad, Andhraites identify themselves based on
caste and religion.

This is an eye-opener. All development in India should be Muslim-Inclusive
without doubt. But the community needs to shed its tag Criminal Minded- Yes at
the ground level on the streets and gullies- people indulging in Crimes
predominantly belong to the Muslim Community. This is because of lack of
education- job opportunities no doubt, but somewhere it is the propensity of
the community to be inclined towards crime. Hope it changes and everyone can
trust each other and live in peace
Dilip Apte
.........
Madhuji, The account of Mr. Sareshwala is mind-blowing. But, if you can,
please also bring up the experience of not-so-well-known Muslims of Gujarat. We
need to understand the feelings in their gut too - directly.
Parin Thacker
.........
Brilliant.
A master piece. I only wish the media was a little bit fair and just.
I can give you a food for thought. Pl compare the drought situation in
Maharashtra, despite having spent over INR 70K crore with that in Gujarat over
the same period. Next compare the
Sabarmati Water Front. It has no parallel in India. You such facilities in
London, Paris, Moscow or other western countries. To say the least starting
Rajiv G the Congress has spent thousands of crores on cleaning the Ganges Once again, I thank you for having
brought out this \"Masterpiece\" I
only hope Rahul G would read it.

Excellent
articles! Overwhelming! This guy
Zafar seems to be with very straight and sensible take and vision on things. He
should really do something much more, like get into politics, and inspire
Muslims to change the stereotypes. If you want to change things dramatically,
you need to be in power (and ability to not get corrupted in the process of
gaining power). Modi knows this, and has lived this very well. Zafar needs to
follow him there, too.

I fully agree with
above article by Madhu Purnima Kishwar. I wish to add that BJP is equally to be
blamed for failing to defend Modi. Vajpayee added oil to fire by advertising
his \"Rajdharma\" advice to Modi. As a senior BJP leader and PM,
Vajpayee had full right to advice Modi to observe \"Rajdharma\" but
he could have done so privately instead of advertising it on media just to
prove his own secular credentials.
Satish Salgar
.........
This was a brilliant
read. Considering the circumstances that have built in country, with corruption
and unresponsive , clueless government, this country will be damned if Modi does
not get a chance at helm of affairs of country. There is something different
about him. And I am an outsider to Gujarat and have not seen what he has done
there. But asI said, there is something abut that man and I dont see anyone
else in country\'s political class matching upto him. One only hopes that his
party does not betray and lose this opportunity. Thanks for this article agian.
It does throw lots of light on Modi. Atleast it is refreshing and from the
ground than media parroting about a line form AC studios.
Gaurav Sharma
.........
Thank you for an excellent piece of journalistic
work/research in shedding the light on the 2002 Gujarat riots. Your work has confirmed my long held
view that Mr Narendra Modi, being a neo CM at that time, may not have come to
grips with the day to day administration / routine. He also was, at that time
perceived to be an ad hoc CM, to be replaced very soon again by Keshubhai or
someone else. Your writing confirms my view that, he at that time, being new,
and overwhelmed by the elements of the previous govt and fundamentalists /
extremists, had to do a tight ropewalk, without ruffling feathers. Remember the sagely advice of the then
PM, Shri A B Vajpayee - about rajdharma? It was an indirect hint to Narendra
Modi by the Bhishma Pitaamah --> Do your duty. Shri Vajpayee, being privy to and
having all the intelligence reports from the various agencies like IB, etc.
must also have known that Modi was not involved ( and hence not guilty ) , but
was holding back due to indecision. The Rajdharma message, was TO ACT and that
too non partisan - to bring him out of that indecision, that hestiation, that
confusion. Madam, yesterday I
also read an article by Shekhar Gupta ( for whom I do not have much respect )
about the butchering of sleeping Hindu Mathadi workers in the streets at night
during January 1993 period. The Hindus have been wronged and hurt more
throughout history. Their reactions, do not count, as they are less than 0.5%
of what they have underwent and suffered. It is only once, when things go above
their head, that they may have reacted thus like 2002. Again, I wish to say
that this argument does not at all support any violent actions, done by the
Hindus. Any violent act is wrong. Being a Jain, I do not support such acts. The cunning and deception of the
vested interests, had so far ensured that truth is distorted and falsehood
presented in all its splendor. But hard work like yours, undo the false clouds
and bring out the Sun in all its glory.
Manikant
.........
Thanks for such a great and deep article w.r.t to
Gujrat in 10 years. Being a BJP supporter for many years , even I started
understanding politics when My parents and grandparents use to vote only BJP .
My belief in the party has risen now which came to lowest in 2009 General
election. We have a great leader
Modi among us and I don\'t know how and when All religion will accept him at
each corner of India. People started
dreaming to become modi like policians , but to become the same any individual
need to have said passion , enthu, and willingness to cross the Agnipath and
create own road ahead. I must urge
all netizens to atleast get through this article and let people know the role
of Modi in last 10 years , as well as Tista role of biasim etc... I am confident people like Irfan pathan who believe in
Modi has got that belief in a day. it is the hard work of modi to provide that
much charishma and sense of belief in the minorities.
Harshit

The Article was very
informative. I don\\\'t like BJP neither Congress. Both the parties are corrupt
in Chhattisgarh. But BJP is a step better than Congress, so they will win for
the 3rd time. But its HIGH TIME that \\\"MODIji\\\" Should become PM
and should reduce corruption and later remove it. Our Country\\\'s last hope.

I congratulate you on
a series of excellently researched and eye-opening articles. They were a
pleasure to read. I noticed
however a distinct lack of descriptions of the experiences of rural Muslims and
poor urban Muslims in your articles. What you get from them may or may not
prove your point about Modi being a competent administrator, but they will
definitely enrich your study. I
look forward to reading more.

Very well written and
presented information backed by plain facts. I
believe national print and TV media should follow the example set by you and
provide comparative information from other states. This would lead to real empowerment of
people.As they would have a benchmark of behavior of the elected representatives. Any government - local, state or
central, should always to be compelled to move towards better performance by
highlighting such examples available in abundance.

Madhuji, based on
the comments I see on your earlier posts, I take it that you are/were a
follower of leftist ideology. And in that context, I congratulate you for
having taken up this monumental effort in bringing the truth from behind the
scenes out to public. It requires
immense strength in character to accept and express unbiased, the opinions and
facts that do not support our own long-cherished ideologies. So I request you
to share your personal experience in this work (the reasons behind doing it) so
that it may serve as an inspiration to the current media establishment in the
country (which, I think you will agree, needs it badly).

Your article makes
one thing clear that almost the entire media was till date giving us a onesided
view of modi\\\'s gujarat\\\' it also highlights the false impressions
prejudiced journalism can create which in turn can sow seeds of discord between
communities .....you have been very courageous in flowing against the tide and
bringing in an all together different perspective to the never ending debate on
gujarat 2002 as if they were the first and last riots in the country.....there
is lot to be learnt from people like zafar sareshwala who are the harbingers of
true secularism, nationalism and communal harmony.

Thank you very much
for this wonderful article. Very factual and tells about the ground realities.
Looking forward to have more of this kind.
Really enlightening article. It was
wonderful to know the working style of BJP and Congress from someone who has
worked for both and has no reason and selfishness to be biased toward BJP.

A
very good article.Although I already knew the true face of corrupt
Congress...But to have inside information from Asifa khan was an eye opener...I
wish you very best Asifa for working towards a better society and your vision.
I hope Mr Modi becomes our PM and wish your team a very Best of Luck

Dear
Madhu,I have been reading your Modinama series with great interest. I
have read all 4 parts and look forward to all else you have to write.I was not
in India in 2002 and later and have no contacts in Ahmedabad. My only
source of information was the Mainstream Media (mainly English).
I was totally influenced by the Indian English
media and the rest of chatterati on the evening news shows and columns in the
newspapers and magazines. I always thought that Mr. Modi had got away
with murder in 2002.But over a period of time, I started becoming skeptical –
especially after noticing that there was no coverage of any riots after 2002 –
including the handling of the 2012 Assam riots by (Cong CM ) Tarun Gogoi and
the UPA at the Center. Why the different scales of measurement?
Zafar
Sareshwala's description of the pre-2002 riots and Mrs. Gandhi's visit was an
education.
Along with www.mediacrooks.com, your series has been an eye opener on
the incredible bias of the Indian English media.I didn't know about the
manipulated / truncated “chain reaction” comment attributed to Modi. That
was one of my sore points about him, till I read Part II of your story.
This merely sealed the credibility of the media in my mind - after the truth on
Mr. Vajpayee's "rajdharma" comment came out and Mr. Modi called out
the media in the India Today Conclave 2013 on the "Malnutrition in
Gujrat" comment.Everything the Indian English media has been ranting about
has just been proven wrong in Part II of your report. There is NO proof that he
sat on his hands on 02-28-02 or 03-01-02. I grew up in Mrs. Gandhi's India and I
was and am a huge fan of hers.I never was and am not a right wing
fanatic. My support for
Modi is because he has a (governance and political) track record, he is
articulate, and has articulated a vision for India. THAT is why I support
him.I have very strong views on some of the current BJP leadership but thats a
whole different and unrelated topic.I have seen you on TV debates and have
always admired your spunk and how you stand up for the courage of your
conviction.I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the work you have
done and are doing to bring out the truth.One suggestion - to prevent any (as
always exxagerated and untrue!) allegations of bias from the Hate Modi brigate,
you may want to state the source of funding for your travels in Gujarat while
you did this extensive and exhaustive research. Please keep up your good work.

I have only read first page of your \"Modi
nama\" and must say that I agree with almost every sentiment that was
expressed on it. The questions
raised are un-biased and authentic while being thought provoking at the same
time.On one hand, the article raises questions over many stigmas that are
already in place; while on the other hand, it also answers many questions that
should be there at the back of the minds of those who made opinions about
Gujarat just by listening to media reports and emotional outburst of radicals. Will definitely read more of it.

Interesting series,
and long overdue the negativity of the mainstream media. What India needs is
good governance for all its citizens, irrespective of their religious identity.
However, these interviews with Muslims appear to indicate some amount of
pandering to their interests; be it Hajj subsidies or the protection of illegal
dwellings. It would be very disappointing if Modi were to follow the errors of
Vajpayee and Advani in continuing to pander minorities instead of fairly
dealing with issues on their merits.
Charu
.........
Thank you ma\'am for such a threadbare examination of statements, witnesses and
events. This is truly an objective assessment of Mr. Modi\'s attitude to
minorities and he comes through as thoroughly redeemed of the vicious campaign
run against him by a blinkered media.
True inclusion need not pander to any specific
identities as this only furthers the case for sectarian divide. On the contrary
public welfare and development are non-sectarian and inherently secular. More power to your elbow Madhu
Kishwar. May your voice of objective reason and world view devoid of any
prismatic vision be amplified and reach all Indians. Keep up the good work!
Suyash Garg

Respected
Madhuji, No words to describe
your courage and conviction in describing, analysing and giving true and fair
view of political situation in Gujarat. You have achieved high standard in
journalism by your quality work in these series of articles on Gujarat\\\'s
development, political leadership and society\\\'s progress. I had thought that
India\\\'s main stream media has lost all value system and basic journalistic
ethics in reporting events, news and elections since last 65 years of
India\\\'s independence. I was watching lowering of reporting standard in most
of the English and regional media instruments with deep sense of sorrow. You
have restored sanity and objectivity that is much needed to save India\\\'s
democracy. We all know that Gujarat and its political leadership needs to achieve
many more goals but at least start has been made under the leadership someone
who has now become face of true concept of all inclusive development of
people\\\'s lives in all areas. Great work Madhuji. I am proud to read your
articles that will set in \\\'Golden Age\\\' for our country. Thanks very much.
I salute you for your maturity and deep urge to serve our country through
stories that needs to be read all over the world. Jai Hind.

I am fully convinced by the
facts and figure provided by, The antimodi and anti hindu virus cerated by
congress is nothing but is vote bank politics. Despite this air the gujratis
(whether hindus or muslims) better understands the facts.

I loved reading your
article. i really wish people all around world get to know the real facts.

Madhu
ji, is there a way for you to also publish videos of these interviews? Making a
video documentary and uploading it on you tube will really help, people have
been influenced a lot by the visual media, we need to see better visuals,
positive visuals from Gujarat. Thanks
for your great work, you have set an example in journalism, like Modi ji has in
politics.
Asha
.........
Wonderful article. Well researched. Kindly get it published
in main stream media.
Please give your video recordings to electronic
media. Let the world see a different perspective and why Mr. Modi can provide a
good leadership to India.
Kishore
.........
I
congratulate Ms. Kishwar for the commendable ground work done. The facts speak
truth.But i want to raise few concerns- 1.Zafar
is an influential businessman and close to modi. all through the article he
gets his work done by calling modi. I doubt ordinary Muslims can do that. people
approached High court to get development in Juhapura. 2. why did you not ask Zafar that why
modi refused to wear skull cap from a renowned cleric if he doesn’t\'t has any
bias?
Syed Danish
.........
Awesome
work of research! Well written. It takes guts to write such an essay. The risk
of howling secular fundamentalists boycotting you is immense. But, you have
chosen to take an independent path with your own investigation. Great work,
Madhu.
Ratan Sharda
.........
I am a pro BJP and pro MODI
person but I always had in mind that there must be something wrong with modi
since he is not able to manage the false propaganda against him. But these 3
articles have beautifully articulated how modi has managed to win peoples heart
even after such hateful propagandas against him. This shows his true passion to work
for people without discriminating by caste/ religion. This series will surely
help people to remove the myths and enlighten people about what true governance
is.
Utkarsh

Dear
Madhuji, I must congratulate & compliment you on this amazing and in-depth
article about Gujarat and Mr. Modi. General
public at large and in particularly non Gujarati\'s in urban Indian cities have
accepted the positive fact about Mr. Modi and have been quiet vocal about it.
The problem lies in conveying these facts across
India; it is a very difficult task due to an extremely biased paid and managed
Media. I think if India has to
grow and prosper then we need a leader like Mr. Modi to lead us, whose
inclusive growth strategy is an agenda which if implemented in India will wipe
out the so called Secular parties who completely depend on the age old and
tried formula of divide and rule on caste issue. I we want a true from of Secularism in
India the mantra should be Inclusive Growth and I think this message of Mr.
Modi has to reach right from small villages to Metro\'s across India and this
is where I think this article of yours will be of great help. If financially it is not a burden for
you, I would request you to make this article into a book; I would love to see
this as a book. In the end, let
me also warn you, since you have taken a Pro Modi stand, you will face the
ugliest kind of discrimination by the Pseudo Secular\'s of our Country, you
will be called a Facist, a Right wing Hindu and god knows what, but trust me,
those pseudo secular\'s will be in a very few numbers compare to us who admire
you for this article. Once again
thank you for this article.
Dhruv Jaywant
.........
Thank
u very much for writing such a excellent article. Though average Indian know
the truth but still nobody took so much courage to write the truth so
brilliantly. Definitely it is media which has spread dis-information about Modi
and still they are adamant to prove that Modi is villain but young people and
common man now understand the motive behind all this. Now this compaign against
Modi will prove fatal against so called secularits. It is because of all this
he is getting so much popularity among masses. He is the most admired leader of
country and is being respected all over the world. I would like to request to
Muslims to read this article with open mind and then judge Modi.
Dalip
.........
If this series had come
from anyone else I would not have taken it so seriously, coming from you, whose
work I trust and admire, it has totally shaken my trust in mainstream media and
the intellectuals who decide the fate of our country by naming and shaming.
Journalists ought to report all sides of a story but seeing how prejudiced people
are, to not even read what you have to say, one realizes how deep the malaise
of victimhood is, how entrenched this narrative against Modi (All my left-wing
friends were mum and no one commented -good/bad - on your articles when I
shared them on FB!) Independent
and brave voices like yours are much needed in these times where lack of
integrity is not a shortcoming but a by-word. The
amount of hard work you must have put in to research and write all this boggles
me. Thank you is all that we can say!
Kavita

Dear
Madhuji, I admire your courage as
a fearless journalist to bring out such a neutral narrative on the Godhra
riots. For years, we have seen
the anti-Modi propaganda grow, both in the media and NGO sector. Many of them
have made a successful entrepreneurship out of human suffering and you have
exposed many of these notorious characters, whose political affiliations were
always plain naked. As citizens,
we feel sad that journalism has lost its soul, just like the bureaucracy,
politics & judiciary. So this
article provides much needed hope that all is not lost. The electronic media & its so
called editors have turned their profession into sort of a \"BIG
BOSS\" Stage & Paid news is the order of the day! Please continue
your good work! Appreciate your work!Madhuji, Ever
since 2002, what bewilders me is that in any discussion on Gujarat riots of
that year, the actual burning of the S-6 bogey is always sidelined. Nobody
wants to talk about that. This was the starting point. The perpetrators of this
dastardly act are as much guilty as those who partook in the killings that
followed, if not more !Lacs of pages & thousands of minutes of debate have
just focused on the riots that followed. The victimization of one minority
community is played up again and again by the Human rights brigade, who sadly
don\\\\\\\'t even have crocodile tears to shed for the train victims, most of
them women & children. Nobody seems to mind that the main perpetrators
behind the S-6 attack were congress party workers of Panchmahal like Haji
Bilal, Mehmud Hussain Kalota, Salim Abdul Ghaffar Sheikh to name a few. The Banerjee commission report, a Lalu
votebank strategy, before the bihar elections was adding insult to injury ! In the era of RTI, isn\\\\\\\'t it
possible to get the reservation chart details of that fateful journey. If an
effort was made to get the eye witness account of passengers traveling in S-5
& S-7, then the entire mystery would have been unraveled. So strange that
nobody tried to do this, atleast am not aware of it.Clarion calls for Justice
for 2002 riot victims never include the train victims. I have never seen a
Rajdeep Sardesai shed tears for them! The families of these victims are never
interviewed.
This is pure hypocrisy of the pseudo-secularists!
Perpetrators of any act of murder and rioting should be harshly punished,
irrespective of their religion. But such one sided reporting of events fosters
rather than taming the monster of communalism. Sadly, interests of political
parties are at odds with the interest of a harmonious & healthy state!

Madhuji, Excellent work with very good
presentation. Your article is not mere account of facts or documents. It
reveals truth in very interesting manner. No where it sounds any sycophancy
towards Narendra Modi. Till I read this article I was of opinion that Modi is a
vindictive man though I was his strong supporter.
Mahendra Tamhane
.........
Modinama
is an eye opener work. Facts are placed without any bias and tilt. For 2002
riots congress is calling Modi YAMRAJ ( god of death). Main stream of media has
taken the same line. The tenure of congress regime is forgotten, and media
follow it. The so called secular forces are actually pseudo secular forces. To
keep muslim vote bank intact they never allow them to come in light. Always
keep them in dark and frightened. Thank
you for this excellent report.
Rajendra Hardenia
.........
Mam
you are very true. All spread lies about Gujarat and Modi. No body is
secular. We Indians believe forgive and forget. So again no body should be
allowed to reopen the wounds of those black days. If in this manner,
governments start discussing all the time Gujarat and start reopening the past
cases, then what will happen to Kashmir where Hindus have been totally wiped
out from the valley. In that state almost 50 thousands people have so far died.
Sir what will you say about the 25 long years of militancy in Punjab, in which
more than 70 thousands people were killed. Sir similarly in the ethnic and
communal violence since independence thousands and thousands of people died in
the north eastern states. In all these states how many terrorists and killers
have been punished. Similarly in UP, Bihar, Kerla, Bengal etc., communal riots
are the regular phenomenon but rarely any body has been punished. UP alone has
wtnessed almost 30 communal riots during the last one year and the SP
government is very proudly called secular. . So instead of reopening of the
Gujarat and Modi again and again secularist must think about other issues. They
must shun communal and divisive politics. In the name of vote banks communal
hate is mongered by leaders. In this cauldron all the leaders and political
parties are guilty. The branded communal and branded secular, truly speaking
both are responsible for riots. No body is truly and honestly secular. By their
vitriolic attack on Modi and Gujarat they may get some new post but they have
lowered the dignity of nation

Dear Madhuji, I started reading
MODINAMA 1 yesterday in office. I took printouts of this and completed the
reading in the nihgt. I am highly appreciative of your efforts in uncovering
the truth. This is very rare. The information provided is too good. I am making
several of my friends read this article. I
also run an English Magazine called \'Money Wise\' from Bangalore. Great job done.
