Have the courts found Modi guilty of any crime?
It is sometimes claimed that “…the Supreme Court, generally reckoned one of the few incorruptible institutions left in India, can’t find Modi guilty” (comment on a Guardian opinion piece.) This misses the fact that Modi has neither been tried, nor been exhonerated, for his role in the violence in Gujarat in 2002. The legal argument to date has centred on whether he should stand trial. A … Continue reading Have the courts found Modi guilty of any crime?

Why is Media missing the real Gujarat Story: Himanshu Thakkar
It seems large parts of the mainstream national media have gone underground these days. If you view most English news channels and some Hindi ones or most English and Hindi newspapers, you will suddenly find a proliferation of reports favouring Narendra Modi and the BJP.

Modi, Media & Terror threats: JTSA
The reporting in the media following the arrest of four youths in Rajasthan, alleged to be Indian Mujahideen operatives, by the Delhi Police Special Cell fell even below the low standards the media has set for itself on terror reporting. Forget about the use of the mandatory ‘alleged’ before calling those arrested as terrorists – one would think it is no longer even on the … Continue reading Modi, Media & Terror threats: JTSA
