Crookbond Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Modi is like LORD SHIVA - AAP member Kumar Vishwas rLlj08p2G3o Not just Shiva, according to BJ-party supporters he is Hanuman too. Here's their pitch.
seedhi Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 This is called development: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today resolved to build lakhs of pucca houses as part of ambitious campaign for empowerment of the newly emerged middle class, middle class and slum-dwellers across India. In Gujarat alone, he said, nearly 22-lakhs houses will be built in urban areas and 28-lakhs in rural areas in a time-bound manner. Speaking at a function to mark the dedication of the first-ever well-planned modern dhobhi ghat, called ‘laundry campus’ and refurbished Sunday traditional weekly haat called Ravivar Gujri market on the bank of River Sabarmati, he said that while the dhobighat built at a cost of Rs.8.50-crore would have 168 ghats for washer-men, the Ravivar Gujri will have 1,641 platforms built at a cost of Rs.21-crore for sellers. He said the newly created modern facilities would go a long way in economic uplift of the backward communities. Mr. Modi invited India’s top economists and experts singing paean song of ‘Inclusive Growth’ to study the Sabarmati Riverfront as welfare project rehabilitation of the project affected people with greater facilities. Gujarat would be known for cleansing river pollution and development. Those who once criticized the project as bonfire of public money would have to eat their words. He distributed on this occasion allotment papers of Gujarat Housing Board (GHB) after a draw for flats built under the Mukhya Mantri Awas Yojna. In all, 10,011 flats are built, including 5,074 for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and 4,937 for Lower Income Group (LIG). He inaugurated on the occasion a road flyover across the 132-foot Ring Road, connecting Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad (IIM-A) Old Campus with Vastrapur locality, christened Gyanshakti Marg, built at a cost of Rs.35-crore. He also launched a surveillance project of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) to install 554 CCTVs at 62 public places. http://deshgujarat.com/2014/02/03/in-pictures-new-iima-flyover-river-front-market-dhobi-ghat/ River front market (between Vivekananda bridge-Sardar bridge on eastern bank of Sabarmati river front) IIMA flyover(east-west direction flyover between Old IIMA gate and new IIMA gate on IIMA road) Dhobi Ghat(On eastern bank of Sabarmati river front next to Ambedkar bridge)

Sachin=GOD Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Op-ed: How damaging are Narendra Modi's historical lapses? Opinion | Ashutosh Varshney | Updated: February 06, 2014 15:01 IST Ashutosh Varshney is Sol Goldman Professor of International Studies and the Social Sciences and director of the India Initiative at Brown University. He is the author, most recently, of - Battles Half Won: India's Improbable Democracy (Penguin). It has been repeatedly observed that Narendra Modi's recalling of Indian history is imprecise. In Patna, he said Takshashila was in Bihar; it is in Pakistan. He also said Porus was defeated on the banks of the Ganga; that battle with Alexander never went beyond the Jhelum river in Pakistani Punjab. In Meerut earlier this week, he argued that the Congress party had thoroughly devalued India's first war of independence, which began in Meerut. The Congress did so because it could not possibly take credit for the bravery of the fighters of a pre-Congress era. The Congress, after all, was born in 1885; and the rebellion against the British erupted nearly three decades before that - in 1857. There is considerable historical inaccuracy here. In The Discovery of India, Jawaharalal Nehru celebrates the indomitable spirit of Indian fighters in 1857, especially "Lakshmi Bai, the Rani of Jhansi, a girl twenty years of age, who died fighting". On how to characterize the 1857 rebellion, too, there is partial, if not full, agreement between Nehru and Modi. Nehru sees elements of nationalism in the rebellion. However, consistent with the modern theory of nationalism, he calls it "essentially a feudal rising, though there were some nationalistic elements in it". "It was much more than a military mutiny, and it spread rapidly and assumed the character of .. a war of Indian Independence." But it is "due to the abstention or active help of the (Indian) princes", says Nehru, "that the British succeeded in crushing" the revolt. There was no rebellion in Western and Southern India. The 1857 revolt was confined to the North and the East. Finally, mass support for the rebellion was in doubt beyond Delhi and some parts of modern-day UP. Hence the Nehruvian claim that the 1857 revolt was only in part a war of independence. It just can't be compared to the full-blown freedom movement in the first half of the 20th century. In 1957, Nehru as Prime Minister also celebrated the centenary of 1857, making a famous speech at the Ramlila Maidan. Given the paucity of Indian accounts of the rebellion, new scholarly works too were commissioned. Modi clearly has not read The Discovery of India, nor is he familiar with Nehru's 1957 speech. But are these historical inaccuracies damning? This, of course, is the much larger question. And here the distinction between history and heritage is critical. What does this distinction imply? Consider Kerala's Christianity. In a heritage-based conception, many Kerala Christians argue that St. Thomas, the apostle of Jesus, brought Christianity to Kerala as early as 50 AD. Historians have not been fully able to establish the veracity of this belief. The believer goes on undeterred. One of the best known examples of the distinction between history and heritage comes from Sri Lanka. In Charred Lullabies, Valentine Daniel, an anthropologist at Columbia University, famously argues that the Tamil conception of their place in Sri Lanka is driven by the idea of heritage, whereas the dominant Sinhala conception is historical, depicting in chronological detail how the Sinhalese are the original inhabitants of the island. The two conceptions fatally clashed in Sri Lanka, though that does not have to be the case universally. On the whole, nationalist politicians have rarely been exemplary historians, known for fidelity to facts. Rather, they selectively retrieve from history - to create a narrative that is politically usable. Modi is no exception. He is trying to craft a narrative which can show him as championing his own idea of India and making it stick with the masses. He is not in politics to please the scholar and the historian. He is an ideological trailblazer, seeking to win popular affection. http://www.ndtv.com/article/opinion/op-ed-how-damaging-are-narendra-modi-s-historical-lapses-479899
zumi Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 The state of Gujarat keeping in line with Modi's general knowledge of history: Japan nuked US during World War II: GCERT social science textbook AHMEDABAD: The Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, was assassinated on October 30, 1948. And it was Japan that nuked US during World War II! These are just two of the 'nuggets of wisdom' out of an inexhaustible mine of factual errors in Social Science English medium textbook for Standard 8 published by the Gujarat Council of Educational Research and Training ( GCERT).

urbestfriend Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 How does it matter? It matters if you posted the picture to convey something negative about Modi. I guess we cant hold this against Modi if the picture is taken before the whole saga of Asaram came out open.
