  1. An example of how sometimes politicians can be human beings.

    NB: Am in no way shilling for the Congress party; am no fan of any politician/political party.

    I just found this rare incident nice.

  2. Vajpayee Govt Didn't Object to UK Report That 2002 Riots Were 'Pre-Planned', Cops 'Told Not to Act'

    The minutes of an April 16, 2002 phone call between former external affairs minister Jaswant Singh and his UK counterpart reveal the BJP-led government only protested the leak of the report and its claimed death toll. No criticism was made of the UK report's critical observations about the role played by the Gujarat police and by political organisations connected to Modi in the anti-Muslim violence.

  5. In my view the #rise of the #Hindu #right can be summarized in these phases:
    1. #Savarkar: the ideologue
    2. #Golwalkar: the survivor
    3. #Vajpayee and #Advani: the builders
    4. #Modi and #Shah: the conquerors

  7. Found it poignant and funny that #Vajpayee was raised in pre independence #Gwalior as a subject of the #Scindia kings. But today Vajpayee is the biggest icon of the #BJP, a party in which the descendants of the Scindia kings are mere mid level functionaries. Scindia Royals had a big role to play in the rise of the #Hindu #right, as funders and activists. They might have supplied the pistol and bullets that #Godse used to kill #Gandhi.

  11. Anyone really familiar with #Babri Masjid Era #Vajpayee will not be surprised. But many #Indians could be shocked.
