A threat to India's communal harmony
The Indian state of Gujarat witnessed the worst communal riots of the sub-continent in 2002 when at least 2000 innocent Muslims were brutally killed by Hindu fanatics. Narendra Modi, the chief minister of Gujarat, did nothing to save the lives of the Muslims. It is now an open secret that he not only willfully refrained from quelling the widespread carnage on the state, but also tacitly incited communal hatred against the minority Muslims.
This Narendra Modi is now the chief of BJP's campaign committee for the next general election in 2014. If BJP wins the elections, he will, most probably, be the next prime minister of India. Hence Modi's rise in Indian politics poses a direct threat to the communal harmony in India.
Now it is to be seen how the secular forces in India face the challenge posed by Modi / BJP's political ideology 'Hindutva' in the days to come!
