Economic Development vs. Morality

The question about disbelief in judicial system in case of Modi was if we have this disbelief because of political influence then Modi has faced 7 years of his trial under two Congress governments. And specially after 2009 election it was very clear that he is going to be one of the major BJP candidates for the post of the Prime minister of India in next elections. Even knowing so and having political influence of its own as central government if Congress can not prove the case against Modi then either he is not guilty of anything more than negligence or Congress wanted to use this issue as the Achilles' heel in the next election . Even without mentioning 1984 or 1993 it renders it really difficult to believe that Congress is a better choice for ruling party on moral terms.

The Professor pointed out that judicial process is a system and someone else added that in this system it is impossible to prove anything against Modi. Now be careful about this statement as it is not about Modi it is about our own lack of faith in ourselves as a system. We, as a society aiming for justice, do not believe that  we are functioning at the most basic levels of our duty. There can only be two explanations first of which would be external pressure, which is addressed in the first part of this discussion. Second would be our own convictions, like a judge being pro-Hindu or pro-Modi, but wouldn't be the same as we blaming Modi for everything without having proper knowledge about the evidences, and punishing him in the coming elections.
Just keep your eye open for the biases in the articles/documentaries on which you are making up your mind.




The story was pretty much same with the first video. Instead of  portraying the problem fairly the video seemed like provocation to use violent means. One needs to realize in such situations we are against our own people. We don't want to antagonize them, we certainly do not want to force or terrorize them but at the same time we do not want to encourage or romanticize them being against national interests. We want to include them in this development.
