Over 1,000 people died in some of the worst religious violence seen in India since independence. Nobody has proved that Mr Modi did anything wrong, yet suspicions have lingered that he ignored or even condoned the pogrom, as a somehow understandable reaction to the death of 59 Hindu pilgrims in a train fire blamed on Muslims. Today Mr Modi is the dominant figure in India's opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He is more than likely to be its candidate for prime minister in general elections due next year . Outsiders are warming to him. Britain's high commissioner to India led the charge, ending a boycott last year, just as Mr Modi's campaign for re-election in Gujarat was under way. European Union ambassadors then broke bread with him. Rumours in Delhi suggest that America is pondering whether to issue him a visa. Is it right that the stains of 2002 should so easily be washed away? Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
