The Toughest Task For Narendra Modi

While a commoner like me sees #NarendraModi as the man with a magic wand for every problem, the challenge is now upon him to deliver on expectations. But foremost, he should clearly commit to curb the pseudo-religious extremism which his party and its more extreme wings, are accused of. He is quite forthcoming with comments in general, but on the occasion of such attacks which incite communal violence easily, his silence has been deafening.

Now-a-days, going by the timely controversies our self-proclaimed preachers are setting up, its a pity how these learned people mire their followers in murky waters of baseless propaganda. If I had an ounce of belief in the zillion avatars of God, it would've been certainly no blasphemy in my reckoning to equate Jesus with every Durga, Ganesha, Jagannath, or Krishna. Multi layered styles of worship in Hinduism make it the most democratic and broad religion ever. The ranks of religion would be seriously depleted if seers followed such excomminication.

Capital and Policies are transient. But a rich, endearing culture with a vibrant plurality that this nation offers, needs permanent cleansing. Its high time religion is purified of the malicious people and age-old agendas whose sole purpose is to influence political and regional diktat by terrorizing or brainwashing the ignorant Indians.

To run a government is one thing; to run a nation is another. I hope he turns out to be the leader our heart has entrusted faith in.
