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 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.

I knew 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.

 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 the time on the articles

I have always belived that the politicans for the past 67 yrs in this country has been playing the game of divide n rule... the more we divided.. the more these bullshit politicians gain.. and congress in particular has mastered in this art..

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 media.

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.

Hello Ms.Madhu, I am not a Gujarati. Nor am I a muslim. I am a Hindu from Delhi currently settled in Bangalore having my own business in this currently BJP run state. Like Mr.Zafar, I have experienced first hand the way SME\\\'s have to run from pillar to post and pay through 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.

Dear Madhuji; You deserve kudos for this kind of painstaking job on which u must have spent hours and hours.I hope u expose all liars like Teesta,Javed Anand,Mukul Sinha ,Sarabhai and all others who have left no stone unturned to hang Modi.It is so sad that media people like Burkha ,Sardesai etc, without going into details still continue to malign and abuse Modi and all Gujaraties who have immense faith in him .Shame on these \"sickulars\'.

Dear 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 from the grips of Cheats & Charlatans. With greatest regards

Dear Madhuji This is a fantastic presentation purely based facts. People should discuss the facts rather than perceptions created by a biased media controled by the Congress. I really appreciate your courage, because you know, by stating facts on Gujrath, you are run the risk of being branded as pro-Modi. I convinced that, you are neither Anti-Modi nor Pro-Modi. You have just presented the facts based on research. All the best for your future works madam.

Madam, It is an article which comes from the heart. I know you do not believe in astrology but my astrologer friend says the 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 have read loads of stuff , joined twitter and convinced quite a few people with the relevant material. A big thank you for opening my eyes and heart. I and my family have become a total Modi fan. Warm Regards.

One more comment having watched Walk The Talk on NDTV.This is a clear cut evidence how media interpret and twists a statement made and gives a breaking news anything relating to Narendra Modi. After watching Walk The Talk only stupid people will agree to this article.The interviewer clearly leading and persisting and failing to get the answer he is seeking.Let the people decide instead the Khangress owned TOI interprtention. 
The writing is clear on the wall. Namo is the next PM of Hindustan come what may and whether the pseodo seculars who have sold the country likes it or not.

Dear MADHU, I HAVE READ SOME OF YOUR COMMENTS ON MODI. I JUST DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO ESTABLISH. ARE YOU JUST ARGUING AGAINST OTHER NGOs? I WILL LKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IN A PARAGRAPH?

REGARDS.B.

 Again 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? best wishes..

Excellent article Madhuji. I read all your parts on Modinama while at the airport, and it was an eye opener. I am a pro-Modi fan, and am witness to his administrative skills in Gujarat, but also, have communicated with various Administrative officers in Gujarat on various occasions, and most of them are of the same view. But, these things needs to be channelized properly, so that the people of India do understand, what the real Administrator should be like. Well done Madhuji.

@ R.Saroja          
What is your point? That all of the victims were not kar-sewak? Does that lessen the ghastliness of Godhra? 
Other than that what do yo have to say about Sanjiv Bhatt\\\'s lies so eloquently exposed in this article?
Rohit

NGOs and certain individuals believe that they are justified in seeking revenge instead of remembering that life is NOT a game. By simply trying to get even doesn\'\'t mean they have won the battle; it simply means they have LOST their self-respect! Only rightful alignment with the loving universe, releases the chains that bind us mortals. Therefore perhaps the love we ALL need now is asking more courage from us; we need to love with as much conviction as that with which some people hate. Let us ALL surround ourselves with only people who are going to lift us higher ... Madhuji, we wish you lots of luck that you may be filled with that power and strength required to bring out the truth to the citizens of India.

@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.

Pankaj

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.

Dear Madhuji, One more reading in comments section, and I found one more Teesta Bhakt, \"@Sadanand Patwardhan\". Let me say that to (Teesta) Bhakt Patwardhan, that, if he thinks, Modi has washed his hands off, and his washing hands is helped by SIT. He can file case against SIT for doing shoddy investigation.

Excellent article. Just goes to show how low a morally corrupt dynasty controls and wields so much power and influence in our Feudal country. The Delhi sultanate has tried to make NaMo untouchable by institutionalising a whole industry for spinning lies, quoting out of context and spreading malicious rumours. The left-illiberal media and activists as it is are quite keen to criticise anything Hindu - and they just lapped at the opportunity as a once in a life time offer. Very very shameful conduct, Very very good effort Mrs. Kishwar.

Dear Madhu, This is beautifully crafted. I was in the Prime Minister's Office when the outrage in Maliana occurred. What shocked me most was the callousness of the then Chief Minister Veer Bahadur Singh, while speaking about these communal excesses.

I would like to congratulate you on your great work of journalism, and take this opportunity to let you know why your writing meant a lot to me at a personal and professional level. 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 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-

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.

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.

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!!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
