But I always knew what Modi was like. I was part of the Times of India Ahmedabad team that covered the 2002 riots. Every awful story you have heard is true. It was planned, it was vicious, it was controlled by the government. The police stood by. The rioters had lists of who to attack from sales tax and excise departments. Those camps are etched in my memory even though sometimes I want to forget them.

@ranjona I’ve read the book by Rana Ayyub when she did a sting op on those officials involved, I was horrified to realise the regular middle class upper middle class educated folk were the ones who allowed it to happen.

They looted the shops and restaurants while rioters attacked Muslim-owned enterprises!

@ranjona It was traumatic to just read, I can only imagine those who lived and have seen it. It’s a shame no one knows the reality of Modi at least those who voted blindly for him in 2014 and were still sane, but just angry with congress. There’s an evil inside of him, one can see it clearly in his vendetta politics

Don't you feel some of them voted for him because of the riots? the BJP-sena came to power in Maharashtra post the Babri-Masjidf riots.

@ranjona I do feel and agree, those who voted anti congress in 2014 but were still sane have well become brainwashed right wing hate channels in the next five years, 2019 elections was just an approval of 2002 carnage and Ayodhya massacre plus the mob lynchings murders and rapes that continued since 2014.
