Indians have chosen Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in a historic landslide victory that unseated the ruling Indian National Congress party and signifies the return of a single-party majority.

Modi will soon be at the helm of the world's largest democracy and an economic powerhouse. He has received criticism from many people, including writer Salman Rushdie and Harvard University professor Homi Bhabha, among others, in a joint statement against his candidacy

But who is this charismatic but polemic leader? What does he stand for? There are things that are important to know, and not all of them bad.  

1. He is controversial for his role in the 2002 Gujarat riots

Modi was chief minister of the state of Gujarat in 2002 when riots broke out in the city of Godhra after a train carrying Hindus was burnt down as it was coming from the holy city of Ayodhya in North India. In the ensuring Hindi-Muslim violence, between 900 and 2,000 people were killed, predominantly Muslim.

Modi, a Hindu nationalist, reportedly expressed satisfaction after the dismal events of 2002. His only regret was that he did not handle the news media better, according to the New York Times.

Though he has been cleared by the courts of India, some still believe he allowed the Gujarat riots to rage on. Senior police officer in the Gujarat intelligence bureau Sanjiv Bhatt alleges that Modi told officials that the Muslim community needed to be taught a lesson

2. He may prove to have a positive impact on the economy

Modi's win is expected to improve trade with the United States and boost the Indian economy. After interviewing 68,500 voters before and after the elections, a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Endowment and India's Lok Foundation reported that 57 percent of interviewees mentioned economic issues as “most important.” 

As chief minister of Gujarat, he oversaw the rapid industrialization of once sleepy areas, a feat he says he wants to replicate elsewhere in India. Modi has used his successes in Gujarat as election leverage, holding up the “Gujarat model” to differentiate himself, as news site Live Mint reported.

If the 2002 riots hurt his campaign, the economic angle helped boost him back up. As Rajeev Malik, a Singapore-based economist, said in a Financial Times column:

It is not as if the 2002 [Gujarat riots] blot has been wiped out; it is just that the broader current urgency of economic well-being has overtaken a dated tragedy.

3. His track record on women's issues may be lacking

Will the role of women improve under a Modi lead government? In an article for the Hindu Centre for Politics and Public Policy, Hardeep Dhillon criticized both candidates for seeing women through the lens of safety, security and education. She argued Modi specifically sees women as passive:

women are imagined to behave, think, and perform in uniformity and their politics are established prior to their emergence on the political landscape. As a result, Indian women are stripped of the very political agency Mr. Modi claims to advocate for, rendering them as passive – rather than active – political actors.

The author also raised concerns about the contrast between Modi’s vocal condemnations of the “rape culture” that led to the 2012 Delhi gang rape and his silence on the treatment of Muslim and minority women in his state. His “secret wife” – Modi had presented himself as a bachelor until this election cycle – has also caused some to question his treatment of women. 

4. He maintains an anti-immigrant stance

significant number of Bangladeshis have migrated to India in the past decade to reunite with family members, for job opportunities, and to escape environmental crises, among other reasons. The wave of people has prompted India to step up security along its border with Bangladesh, including installing barbed-wire fences.

If Modi has his way, he would send all the undocumented Bangaldeshi immigrants back. In a speech on April 28, 2014, Modi threatened:

I want to warn from here, brothers and sisters write down, that after May 16, will send these Bangladeshis beyond the border with their bags and baggages.

The reaction to Modi's speech on social media showed people are listening. Posts under the #deportbangladeshis hashtag made it to at the top of Twitter's trend list in India.

5. His past religious fervor sets a questionable example for a secular India 

Modi was a youth member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a right-wing, volunteer Hindu nationalist group, and describes himself as a Hindu nationalist. In contrast to his youth as an RSS member, Modi has recently said he does not believe in dividing voters along religious lines

Yet some still worry his election doesn't bode well for religious tolerance. As Sunny Hundal wrote in an opinion piece for CNN:

The broader context is that India is seeing a rising tide of intolerance whipped up by Hindu nationalist groups that have forced books to be bannedintimidated journalists and threatened people for criticizing their leaders.

French Political Scientist Christophe Jaffrelot, in an interview with Scroll.in, alleged:

Plan A for Modi is to succeed on the economic front, and if that does not work then emphasising on Hindutva politics may be an important Plan B.

Indian author Pankaj Mishra painted a particularly dark picture in The Guardian, saying Modi's election means “a new turbulent phase for the country – arguably, the most sinister since its independence from British rule in 1947.

For his part, Modi has maintained he speaks to all of India, regardless of religion:

For the nation my mantra is 125 crore Indians. Hindu, Muslim, Christians… The country had enough of all these terminologies. The new terminologies will be youth, poor, farmer, village, city, education.

Time will tell if he means that.

    Can I summarize this article as follows? “Left-wing extremists agree that right-wing Modi is bad. So, he is bad.”

    • —–START OF MY COMMENT ON abpliveDOTin ——

      A couple days ago I posted a comment on outlookindiaDOTcom. A couple hours later I found that there were 4 ‘Dislikes’ on my comment and 0 ‘Likes’. A few minutes later, I found that the number of ‘Dislikes’ had been reduced from 4 to 3; the number of ‘Likes’ was still 0. CIA-RAW, which has kept me under 24-hour surveillance with the U.S. National Security Agency satellites for the past 37 years (see below) had done this with microwave signals from satellites; ordinary users can INCREASE the number of ‘Dislikes’ by pressing the ‘Dislike’ button but there is no way they can DECREASE the number of ‘Dislikes’. CIA-RAW routinely controls the number of hit-counts on my blogs, to take another example and can and does put false numbers, usually a small fraction of the actual number, in the hit counters. Note that falsification of vote counts in Electronic Voting Machines does not require the machines to be defective or physically tampered with; it is done electronically via microwave signals from satellites which leave no trace. CIA-RAW can do a lot more than change vote counts with microwave signals from satellites; they can alter the contents of any webpage at will but they can do a lot more than that also; just as microwaves make cell phones do whatever they do, CIA-RAW can use microwave signals from the U.S. National Security Agency satellites to make any digital equipment do whatever it wants; see IndianAirForcePilotsMurderDOTblogspotDOTcom .

      On August 9, 2008, CIA Director Michael Hayden and K. Subrahmanyam came on line and offered to transfer one crore rupees into my bank account within 48 hours if I agreed to cooperate with them. This was coupled with various kinds of threats and abuse. Several dozen of the most abusive comments were deleted by them before I saved the comments on my computer but the offer to transfer one crore rupees into my bank account can be seen at ‘Offer to me by CIA Director and K. Subrahmanyam’ : HaydenSubrahmanyamDOTblogspotDOTcom

      The opinions and votes of India’s slave population suffering from mass-psychosis (below) do not matter; only nuclear weapons matter — to simultaneously destroy Washington, New York, RAW headquarters, South Block and North Block with a warning that additional U.S. cities will be destroyed, with nuclear warheads already emplaced in them, if there is any retaliation or sign of retaliation. In a letter dated July 27, 1982 to Indira Gandhi as prime minister I referred to an act, by American Jews, that was “the equivalent of an annihilatory nuclear first strike on India”. In her reply dated July 29, 1982 she wrote “Dear Mr. Chandra, I have received your letter dated July 27, 1982 and am passing it on to my Principal Secretary to deal with it. Sincerely, Indira Gandhi”. In December, 1982 I wrote to her “There was sudden, terminal, overwhelming violence against me during a seminar at Harvard University and rather similar occurrences earlier… India can expect sudden, annihilatory violence … with nuclear weapons … against its population … unless it can mount a decisively superior force to stop it”. Following my advice, India’s strategic program, including the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme and the Centre for Advanced Technology, was started to give India victory in a nuclear war with the United States and because of my influence on her, Indira Gandhi as prime minister was assassinated by CIA-RAW and later when Rajiv Gandhi realized the truth of what I had written to her after the American invasion of Iraq which was the first Gulf War, he was also assassinated by CIA-RAW. In the past few years, I have had India’s nuclear forces emplace nuclear warheads in Washington, New York and other U.S. cities and India is now in a position to destroy the United States without being destroyed. In fact, India is in a position now to destroy the United States without itself suffering a single casualty by triggering its nuclear warheads emplaced in Washington and New York with a warning that additional U.S. cities will be similarly destroyed if there is any retaliation or sign of retaliation.

      This is what I said when asked if India is just a pawn. “Yes, it is a pawn, a slave, a society suffering from mass-psychosis. Despite the recent revelations about M. K. Gandhi being a homosexual who reveled in his “slavery with a vengeance” to the white man, who engaged in a fake ‘freedom struggle” with the British managed by the Intelligence Bureau, the entire Indian government went to his memorial on his death anniversary this January 30, 2012 to pay tribute. India is a very sick society. (I had urged that all his portraits in government offices, etc. be burned). … By saying that India is suffering from mass-psychosis, I am being generous and kind of giving it the excuse of being ill (of the several hats I wear, I am also a mental health professional) but a country of 1.2 billion people being so terrified of much smaller numbers of people from half way around the world cannot really be excused. … ” (see RAWsTraffickingOfIndianChildrenDOTblogspotDOTcom ).

      It is a matter of deep concern that almost all, if not all, senior officers of the Indian army have been ‘educated’ in United States defence establishments which allows their loyalties to be compromised. In the case of Dalbir Singh Suhag there is an additional factor. I have said Sikhs are traitors to India and played a major role in the British killing over 10 million Indians in just the ten years after 1857 — their primary loyalty is to the Anglo-Americans, not India: ‘Source of Manmohan Singh‘s ‘Deep Love‘ for Bush‘ : SourceOfManmohanSinghsDeepLoveForBushDOTblogspotDOTcom — and that is why no Sikh was made army chief until recently when J. J. Singh and Bikram Singh — who just returned after getting a military medal from the Americans without getting the requisite permission from the Indian government — were made army chiefs in quick succession thanks to a Sikh traitor as prime minister given this post by a white Christian woman and now another Sikh, Dalbir Singh Suhag, is due to be made army chief; the head of India’s nuclear forces is already a Sikh. The Defence Minister is a Christian as was his predecessor and the previous head of India’s nuclear forces was a Christian — all of them by definition loyal to the Anglo-Americans. Overt colonial rule over India is almost complete; Indians are too stupid and lethargic to do anything about it. My concern here is not religion (Sikhism is a branch of Hinduism like Buddhism and Jainism) but national security because of their being loyal to foreign enemies (possibly because both Sikhs and Christians are low-caste Hindu converts). This is also the reason India’s nuclear forces have so far failed to obey me to trigger India’s nuclear warheads emplaced in Washington and New York with a warning that additional U.S. cities will be similarly destroyed if there is any retaliation or sign of retaliation, which will immediately make India the supreme military and economic power in the world.

      ——END OF MY COMMENT ON abpliveDOTin ——

      WARNING: DO NOT BE DISTRACTED BY THE TORRENT OF ABUSE RAW ROUTINELY POSTS ON WHAT I SAY. THESE FILTHY CRIMINALS WORK FOR THE CIA — RAW IS A BRANCH OF THE CIA AS I HAVE DESCRIBED IN WhatYouShouldKnowAboutRAWDOTblogspotDOTcom — AND DO ALL THEY CAN TO INJURE INDIA. THEY CAN DO THE MOST DAMAGE TO INDIA BY INJURING SATISH CHANDRA WHOSE TOE NAIL CLIPPINGS ARE WORTH MORE TO INDIA AND THE WORLD THAN THE REST OF THE BILLION-PLUS INDIANS COMBINED.

      Indians as a rule are inferior Indian niggers unfit to talk about strategic matters, especially if it involves the White Master in any way, which it always does. That is why in his ‘Mein Kampf’ Adolf Hitler said “As for India, I would rather see India under the British than under any one else”. It is not just that a handful of the British from half way around the world ruled India for centuries; a lot of other people from various countries did that for a thousand years before that.

      A modern day Babar will start each day by killing a million Indians before breakfast every morning, though some think three million will be better (this number can be herded into fairly small extermination circles and then a neutron bomb exploded over them).

      I am an Indian, but as far above the other Indians as they may be above cockroaches.

      I am India’s expert in strategic defence, the father of India’s strategic program including the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program and the world’s greatest scientist (my biography can be found in Marquis’ Who’s Who in the World, 2014 and earlier editions).

      (April 19-21 ‘14) I had posted the following comment on outlookindiaDOTcom editor Vinod Mehta’s column ‘Delhi Diary’ last night. This morning I found it had disappeared. I reposted it. Less than an hour later I found it had disappeared again. As I prepared to post it again, my 59 minutes old comment appeared at the top, above about a 2-minute old comment by someone else, restored by CIA-RAW because of my reference in the comment to being suppressed on orders of the CIA. (In comments via the Facebook commenting tool, the most recent comment appears on top). This is a small example of hundreds of thousands of acts — large and small — of suppressing me that CIA-RAW have committed over the past 37 years. No matter which party or individual forms the government, it is the CIA which is India’s permanent ruler which all parties, government officials and Indian media obey; see my ‘What You Should Know About RAW’ (WhatYouShouldKnowAboutRAWDOTblogspotDOTcom ) and ‘India‘s Traitor Government and Media‘ (IndiasTraitorGovtAndMediaDOTblogspotDOTcom). The officials include not just civilian officials such as the prime minister and cabinet members such as Kapil Sibal but India’s service chiefs such as the current army chief Bikram Singh and recently retired air force chief N. A. K. Browne who literally sits at CIA-supplied terminals to make Indian Air Force aircraft crash using microwave signals from U.S. satellites and he can continue to do so sitting in the Indian embassy in Finland (see ‘Indian Air Force Pilots’ Murder’ : IndianAirForcePilotsMurderDOTblogspotDOTcom ). Nehru admitted to U.S. ambassador Galbraith that he was a lifelong British agent, Indira and Rajiv worked for the CIA as I know first hand from their direct participation in the CIA’s crimes against me and so do all Indian politicians.

      (April 25 ‘14) SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY WAS BROUGHT TO HARVARD TO PROVIDE COVER FOR THE CIA’S CRIMES AGAINST ME :

      “”India’s greatest scientist and greatest living Indian publicly tortured in Harvard seminar, systematically and totally starved for up to 3 weeks at a time, made semi-starved and homeless and even blind for years, kept under 24-hour audio and video surveillance as well as surveillance of [and interference with] communications and electrical typewriter and computer use, document creation and photocopying, etc., by satellite for more than past 3 decades, systematically harassed and in poverty and neutralised and robbed of his work at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars per year, robbed of crores in his money and property in India by C.I.A.-RAW, forced back into exile in the U.S., all with full cooperation and participation of India’s RAW and India’s C.I.A.-RAW-controlled prime ministers, politicians and media — to keep India poor, weak and enslaved” and how this means the nuclear destruction of New Delhi and then the coast-to-coast destruction of the U.S.; see my blog titled ‘Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.’ which can be found by a Yahoo/Google search with the title; my biography can be found in Marquis’ Who’s Who in the World, 2014 and earlier editions.” In a news photo I counted at least a dozen media microphones thrust into the face of Swamy in the fraction of the scene visible in the photo for this story about his working for the CIA; compare that to the amount of media coverage of Satish Chandra, about a trillion times more significant than Swamy as a scientist and in his work for India and the world, not to mention a trillion times more handsome — all because Swamy is CIA-sponsored and I am CIA-suppressed for the past 37 years. It is not just Swamy, Indian media also work for the CIA; see ‘India’s Traitor Government and Media’ : IndiasTraitorGovtAndMediaDOTblogspotDOTcom , IndiasLegitimateRulerSatishChandraDOTblogspotDOTcom

      (April 27-28 ‘14) I have described how CIA-RAW have tried to have me run over while walking on sidewalks or crossing streets at intersections, assaulted by men in cars or bicycles, etc. At about 5:45 PM Toronto time as I walked eastward on the south side of Danforth Avenue, two white men, perhaps in their 30s or 40s, came from the opposite direction. One of them suddenly veered toward me. To avoid a collision, I stepped aside. He kept walking then called out behind him “Relax. Crossing the street”. When about 50 feet past me, both of them crossed diagonally to the other side and kept walking. There was no pedestrian crosswalk there and nothing to cross the street for and no other people nearby. People ask why doesn’t the CIA simply kill you. It is a CIA project to steal my work — just my proposal about money they have stolen is worth hundreds of trillions of dollars in the short run and a lot more in the long run; see ’How India’s Economy Can Grow 30% Per Year Or More : How IndiasEconomyCanGrowDOTblogspotDOTcom — while inflicting as much suffering and degradation on me as possible. With 24-hour audio, video and communications surveillance of all kind by satellite, stealing my work while starving me, they like it better than killing me. If they do kill me, they would like to make it appear as an accident or street crime rather than done by the CIA as part of a 37-years long crime unprecedented in human history and beyond description on which the CIA has been spending hundreds of millions of dollars per year for 37 years. India’s RAW participates, using CIA-supplied terminals, in all aspects of this crime including surveillance and attempts to kill me and make it look like a street crime. Former Union minister Mani Shankar Aiyar and current Union Minister Kapil Sibal personally participate in these crimes via these terminals as I have said. On April 26 ‘14 I found that CIA-RAW had created an account using my photograph with user name “Kaal 123” on Pakistan Defence Forum (I once had an account with user name “Kaal” or “Kaal 2009” on Pakistan Defence Forum but it has been banned for years) and posting material from my blogs in my name but including a sentence — ‘If you encounter a Tamil and a snake, kill the Tamil first’ — which I have never uttered in writing or otherwise; CIA-RAW had done this hoping I will not post my comments in the general Indian media; when I did not oblige, it banned this account it had just created. Several years ago, RAW made a call to my home phone and one of them asked his colleague “Kya Kar Raha Hai? (What is he doing?) and (again in Hindi) whether I had taken my (evening) walk, unaware that I could hear him.

      (October 5, 2008) SOURCE OF MANMOHAN SINGH’S ‘DEEP LOVE’ FOR BUSH

      Indian politicians have condemned Manmohan Singh’s telling Bush that the people of India “deeply love” him. They should see the source of Indians’ love for the white man as I explained many months ago (see my blog titled ‘Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.’ ) :-

      “There is a basic difference between the treason of Indira, Rajiv and Vajpayee and that of Manmohan Singh. The holocaust after 1857 in which the British killed over ten million Indians in just the first decade in just Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Bihar to terrorize and subdue them was in large part committed with the help of Sikhs. This terrorization and subduing continued right up to the end of direct British rule, exemplified by the Sikh soldier, riding in a jeep with the British viceroy, cutting down with his submachine gun any Indian, man, woman or child, that came in view on either side of the road. The role of the Sikhs, who were originally founded to save India from foreign invaders — the invaders were then Muslims — reversed from 1857 on and they became a principal instrument of the British terrorization and subjugation of India. The Sikhs know how successful this terrorization and subjugation was — it is this terrorization and subjugation because of which Indians today dare not even mention nuclear supremacy for India much less demand it — and their role in it determines their attitude toward whites and toward Indians. This is why Manmohan Singh considers himself answerable to no one except Bush and the white man as he imposes the terrorization and subjugation of the nuclear deal on India, makes no attempt to hide his loyalty to the white man and shows open contempt for Indians…. Like Manmohan Singh and others praising British rule over India (he did that when receiving an honorary doctorate from Cambridge University; he was prime minister of India at the time), there are many Indians who praise American rule over India. Like the many Indians loyal to Queen Victoria, there are many Indians loyal to the white woman illegitimately living in the prime ministerial residence, illegitimately flying in the Air Force’s special jets and giving orders to destroy India [she was treated as the empress of India even before she held any party or government post and all visiting heads of state were required to call on her at her residence; this was so even during BJP governments at the Center]. … In war, officers are under orders to execute on the spot any soldiers who are too terrorized to fight or obey orders to advance on enemy positions. … The terrorization and subjugation Indians have undergone at the hands of the British is responsible for Indians refusing to even mention, much less demand, nuclear supremacy over the United States. It is necessary to execute — machine gun and bulldoze into trenches — at least a few thousand such Indians, who are in key positions — such as RAW employees, politicians and media people — to obstruct India’s nuclear supremacy (they may be terrorized or bought up or both though being bought up is greatly facilitated by being terrorized; the terror, when long standing, is usually repressed meaning unconscious and being subjugated often involves both terror and carrot but terror is the foundation of the treason of RAW employees and people such as Vajpayee and Mani Shankar Aiyar though all they may feel is love and loyalty for the white man; terror facilitates such love [emphasis added]; a former head of RAW, Vikram Sood, in a column in Hindustan Times, repeatedly quoted the white/Christian head of the missionary school he attended as the fount of all wisdom on various issues and referred to Indians as worshippers of snakes and monkeys on a Times of India blog — I have referred in a letter below to RAW arranging for practitioners of an Indian discipline, whose understanding of gravity and inertia I called superior to that of Albert Einstein, to be physically attacked and driven away in Noida and Madhya Pradesh on the C.I.A.’s orders — but such behavior of RAW employees, the behavior of desi people like Laloo Yadav and even thoroughly devout and traditional Indians and of all Indians in everyone’s household, neighbourhood and community is profoundly determined by the terrorization and subjugation the British inflicted on Indians and this terrorization and subjugation is responsible for the fact that no Indian dares to even mention, much less demand, nuclear supremacy for India …), for India’s nuclear supremacy to go forward.”

      Since I wrote the above, I have said that, instead of being machine-gunned and bulldozed into trenches, Indians in a position to obstruct India’s nuclear supremacy over the most powerful white country will be destroyed with the nuclear destruction of New Delhi (see my blog titled ‘Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.’ ).

      • ——–START OF ‘WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT RAW’ ——-

        (August 26, 2008) WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT RAW

        I have written (for example in my article titled ‘India’s Technological and Economic Emancipation’ in my blog titled ‘Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.’ : nuclearsupremacyforindiaoverusDOTblogspotDOTcom ) about the continued control of Indian intelligence agencies by British and later American intelligence agencies after 1947. India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) was split off from the Intelligence Bureau which had continued after 1947 to be loyal to the British. Later the Americans supplanted the British and RAW functions as a branch of the CIA against India. As part of this relationship, CIA-RAW exercises extensive control over the Indian media and, among its various activities, engages in sabotage of indigenous research and development to keep India dependent on other countries for defence and other equipment (the nuclear deal is just another CIA-RAW operation of that kind, though of a scope and with consequences far graver than any such operation till now).

        An example of this is a Bharat-Rakshak discussion thread about a black box installed by the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) in the indigenously developed Arjun tank that documented the sabotage of its engines during trials by the Army; such sabotage has been the basis of the Army’s rejection, on RAW’s prompting, of the Arjun tank in favour of imports (as I said in the above article, India‘s Army is the collaborator Army that helped the British rule India and, even after Independence, all its regiments and units have retained their former identities and regularly celebrate the anniversaries of their founding by the British). A CIA-RAW operative, who serves as a moderator on Bharat-Rakshak and controls the forum, recently locked away this discussion thread so that numerous posts that had appeared documenting the sabotage of the Arjun tank were covered up. The major metropolitan newspapers, on most of which CIA-RAW exercises extensive control, have made no mention of the black box — which was like the flight data recorder in aircraft — installed by DRDO in Arjun tanks and the shocking findings about the sabotage even though a report on this was provided to them by the Indo Asian News Service (IANS).

        There is across the board sabotage by various means by CIA-RAW to keep India down technologically, economically and militarily. RAW’s grip over India is comparable to the old KGB’s grip over the Soviet Union, with the difference that whereas the KGB worked for the good of the Soviet Union, except toward the end, RAW has always worked for its imperialist paymasters. The role of politicians in governing India is insignificant compared to that of CIA-RAW but RAW has no place in the public’s consciousness or in discussions of public affairs in India.

        An important point about the sabotage of Arjun is that people on the Arjun discussion thread on Bharat-Rakshak were aghast at the Army’s behavior and calling for Army brass being tried for treason, etc. but it will be a mistake to stop with the Army; it is RAW which is behind such sabotage not just of Arjun but of India’s interests, technological, economic and other, in a lot of areas. RAW has operatives in the Army at various levels but it is necessary to go to the root of the problem. RAW has to be destroyed and I have suggested that a brand new external intelligence agency be formed with the help of military intelligence (RAW is supposed to be India’s external intelligence agency but at least 90% of its activities are within India, against India).

        The destruction of RAW does not mean simply disbanding the agency and letting its employees continue their service to the CIA through other organisations, old or new, or in other roles. It is a mammoth agency with just the number of joint secretaries in the hundreds. It is India’s real ‘government’ and the politicians and civil servants largely obey its dictates. It puts the words in the mouths of cabinet ministers, etc., and determines most policies that are, erroneously, attributed to them. Any one, even a prime minister, whom CIA-RAW considers inconvenient is eliminated, if necessary by death, as I have said regarding the deaths of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and, later, Rajiv Gandhi in my article titled ‘How India‘s economy can grow 30% per year‘ in my blog titled ‘Nuclear Supremacy For India Over US’ on blogspot ( nuclearsupremacyforindiaoverusDOTblogspotDOTcom )which can be found by doing a Google search with the title.

        Over the past many years, I have shown how almost all terrorist incidents in India since 1983 have been carried out by outfits controlled by the CIA either directly or through intelligence agencies in the region, including India’s RAW. The Jain Commision of Inquiry, which went into Rajiv Gandhi’s death, acknowledged that the LTTE, which carried out his assassination, was created and controlled by RAW. It was an open secret that MQM, in Pakistan’s Sindh province, when it was known as a terrorist organization, was a creation of RAW. But the same is true of many terrorist outfits that operate in India.

        Another example of RAW’s multifarious activities, that I have described in press releases, articles and letters to the press since 1987, is its spreading heroin addiction and AIDS first in India’s Northeast then elsewhere to provide the United States with a population to use as guinea pigs for AIDS vaccine development, after the CIA was assigned the task of roping in a population for this purpose. I have described how both Rajiv Gandhi (after being blackmailed with threats of exposure of the Bofors and HDW kickbacks by Swedish and German media at the CIA‘s instigation) and Vajpayee cooperated in this. But terrorism, etc., are the least of its activities; I mentioned those only because the existence of terrorism is publicly known. Its sabotage of India’s research and development activities, of which the sabotage of the Arjun tank is just one example, is among the deadliest of its activities.

        The nuclear deal and its various aspects — replacing indigenous production of uranium and reactors with imports, the capping, rollback and elimination of India’s nuclear weapons program, media control and buying up politicians, scientists, etc. for this purpose — is just the largest and deadliest of such activities, leaving out the 24-hour satellite surveillance and all the crimes, at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars per year for the past 31 years, against India’s greatest scientist, described in my article titled ‘How India‘s economy can grow 30% per year‘. The point is that all the tens of thousands of RAW employees are guilty of the gravest treason and deserve the death penalty. So do all those — politicians, civil servants and others — who are willing collaborators of CIA-RAW.

On August 9, 2008 when CIA Director Michael Hayden and K. Subrahmanyam came on line and posted their comments on an article of mine, my browser was apparently being re-directed to a dummy website so that what they posted could be seen by me but not by the public at large; the same may have been done to the response above; on May 18 ‘14, when I tried to view the pages of his comments which I saved on my computer’s Desktop and in its ‘Documents’ folder, I got ‘No content’; but if I click on the link to his comment that I have included just above his first comment to me, I can see that comment and his subsequent comments to others as well.

    A couple hours after he posted his first comment saw that “MichaelHayden” had posted the same response to my comments on six other stories, in IndiaDOTcom and abpliveDOTin . A few more hours later found that MichaelHayden’s comments now totaled 14, including his responses to some Indians who responded to my comment. His comments carry the CIA logo and the following: “I (Michael Vincent Hayden, born March 17, 1945) am a retired United States Air Force four-star general and former Director of CIA Headquarters, Langley, Virginia – http://www. …”. The following are his additional comments:-

    LOL. Hilarious. I gave you a “Dislike” for this comment. Go figure.

    With our friends in New Delhi, the CIA always strives to cement the blossoming ties between our two great nations – yours (India) and ours (USA). We at the CIA, have nearly accomplished our common goal of having the right people elected into your Lok Sabha, including our collaborator, Mr. Narendra Modi. It confounds us how Mr. Satish Chandra saw through our top secret activities.

    IndiastraitorgovtandmediaDOTblogspotDOTcom

    Mr. Chandra has radical ideas about printing large amounts of your currency (Indian Rupee) to enable the GDP growth of your great nation shoot up to over 30% per annum. Our friends at RAW performed extensive simulations with the C-DAC’s PARAM-Yuva supercomputer to confirm that India’s GDP can indeed grow between 32.3% – 38.4% per annum should Mr. Chandra’s idea is implemented.

    We look forward to join hands with Mr. Chandra. As you can see, we have made him a very generous offer that we hope he accepts. This is not our first offer.

    haydensubrahmanyamDOTblogspotDOTcom

    At the very least, we do hope that he helps us identify the nuclear warheads that radical elements in India may have emplaced in New York and Washington DC.

    this satish chandra has lost mental balance. He blames cia for not letting him peee using Microwave signals.

    MichaelHayden replied to Charak:

    Dear Mr. Charak,

    You grossly underestimate Mr. Satish Chandra’s intellectual abilities. I can assure you that your skepticism is entirely ill-founded. You are exactly what Mr. Chandra calls ‘inferior Indian n!gger’

    Any of these press releases by Mr. Satish Chandra will indicate his greatness to one and all:

    Vikrant Vik Charak MichaelHayden • 11 hours ago

    fucking scum bag. Atleast do not use two ids altogether. You are a fukig noob. Now thier is a dick in your ass as the results have been declared. Micheal hayden cia. Fucking shit head satish chndra got 2 accounts with different profile . hhaha. Fck your mother the retard from Cia.

    The above post may be an attempt by the CIA to have a torrent of abuse directed at Michael Hayden because of the “torrent of abuse” that RAW routinely directs at me that I have referred to.

    RAW has continued to post a torrent of abuse on what I say; for example I posted the following comment on a defence blog, LivefistdefenceDOTcom, on a story titled “Lt Gen Dalbir Singh Is India’s Next Army Chief” :-

    “It is a matter of deep concern that almost all, if not all, senior officers of the Indian army have been ‘educated’ in United States defence establishments which allows their loyalties to be compromised. In the case of Dalbir Singh Suhag there is an additional factor. I have said Sikhs are traitors to India and played a major role in the British killing over 10 million Indians in just the ten years after 1857 — their primary loyalty is to the Anglo-Americans, not India: ‘Source of Manmohan Singh‘s ‘Deep Love‘ for Bush‘ : SourceOfManmohanSinghsDeepLoveForBushDOTblogspotDOTcom — and that is why no Sikh was made army chief until recently when J. J. Singh and Bikram Singh — who recently returned after getting a military medal from the Americans without getting the requisite permission from the Indian government — were made army chiefs in quick succession thanks to a Sikh traitor as prime minister given this post by a white Christian woman and now another Sikh, Dalbir Singh Suhag, has been made army chief; the head of India’s nuclear forces is already a Sikh. The Defence Minister is a Christian as was his predecessor and the previous head of India’s nuclear forces was a Christian — all of them by definition loyal to the Anglo-Americans. Overt colonial rule over India is almost complete; Indians are too stupid and lethargic to do anything about it. My concern here is not religion (Sikhism is a branch of Hinduism like Buddhism and Jainism) but national security because of their being loyal to foreign enemies (possibly because both Sikhs and Christians are low-caste Hindu converts). This is also the reason India’s nuclear forces have so far failed to obey me (below) to trigger India’s nuclear warheads emplaced in Washington and New York with a warning that additional U.S. cities will be similarly destroyed if there is any retaliation or sign of retaliation, which will immediately make India the supreme military and economic power in the world.

    In a letter dated July 27, 1982 to Indira Gandhi as prime minister I referred to an act, by American Jews, that was “the equivalent of an annihilatory nuclear first strike on India”. In her reply dated July 29, 1982 she wrote “Dear Mr. Chandra, I have received your letter dated July 27, 1982 and am passing it on to my Principal Secretary to deal with it. Sincerely, Indira Gandhi”. In December, 1982 I wrote to her “There was sudden, terminal, overwhelming violence against me during a seminar at Harvard University and rather similar occurrences earlier… India can expect sudden, annihilatory violence … with nuclear weapons … against its population … unless it can mount a decisively superior force to stop it”. Following my advice, India’s strategic program, including the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme and the Centre for Advanced Technology, was started to give India victory in a nuclear war with the United States and because of my influence on her, Indira Gandhi as prime minister was assassinated by CIA-RAW and later when Rajiv Gandhi realized the truth of what I had written to her after the American invasion of Iraq which was the first Gulf War, he was also assassinated by CIA-RAW. In the past few years, I have had India’s nuclear forces emplace nuclear warheads in Washington, New York and other U.S. cities and India is now in a position to destroy the United States without being destroyed. In fact, India is in a position now to destroy the United States without itself suffering a single casualty by triggering its nuclear warheads emplaced in Washington and New York with a warning that additional U.S. cities will be similarly destroyed if there is any retaliation or sign of retaliation.

    At this RAW posted the following: “Kris said…

    OK, Shiv,

    Can you please delete this bugger “Satish Chandra”‘s comment from this blog. In addition, would you please ban this guy from commenting here in future?

    Your audience is quite civilized but this guy is a nutcase. Please save this blog from this kind.

    6:12 PM

    Another comment I posted on this blog was:-

    “The opinions and votes of India’s slave population suffering from mass-psychosis (below) do not matter; only nuclear weapons matter — to simultaneously destroy Washington, New York, RAW headquarters, South Block and North Block with a warning that additional U.S. cities will be destroyed, with nuclear warheads already emplaced in them, if there is any retaliation or sign of retaliation. In a letter dated July 27, 1982 to Indira Gandhi as prime minister I referred to an act, by American Jews, that was “the equivalent of an annihilatory nuclear first strike on India”. In her reply dated July 29, 1982 she wrote “Dear Mr. Chandra, I have received your letter dated July 27, 1982 and am passing it on to my Principal Secretary to deal with it. Sincerely, Indira Gandhi”. In December, 1982 I wrote to her “There was sudden, terminal, overwhelming violence against me during a seminar at Harvard University and rather similar occurrences earlier… India can expect sudden, annihilatory violence … with nuclear weapons … against its population … unless it can mount a decisively superior force to stop it”.

In fact, India is in a position now to destroy the United States without itself suffering a single casualty by triggering its nuclear warheads emplaced in Washington and New York with a warning that additional U.S. cities will be similarly destroyed if there is any retaliation or sign of retaliation.

    This is what I said when asked if India is just a pawn. “Yes, it is a pawn, a slave, a society suffering from mass-psychosis. Despite the recent revelations about M. K. Gandhi being a homosexual who reveled in his “slavery with a vengeance” to the white man, who engaged in a fake ‘freedom struggle” with the British managed by the Intelligence Bureau, the entire Indian government went to his memorial on his death anniversary this January 30, 2012 to pay tribute. India is a very sick society. (I had urged that all his portraits in government offices, etc. be burned). … By saying that India is suffering from mass-psychosis, I am being generous and kind of giving it the excuse of being ill (of the several hats I wear, I am also a mental health professional) but a country of 1.2 billion people being so terrified of much smaller numbers of people from half way around the world cannot really be excused. … ” (see RAWsTraffickingOfIndianChildrenDOTblogspotDOTcom ).”

    At this RAW made the following post which is typical of the abuse it directs at me:-

    The author is completely not informed and giving reference of the works which is known to be anti-indian. The author has no confidence in Supreme Court which has given clean chit to Mr. Modi….these are the type of journalists enjoyed climate of Congress rule….mainly Communist in modern days…..Global voice should not given space for this type of author who completely don’t trust in Democracy which has given Modi complete majority………….

  • Manto India

    In majority-Minority Politics Minorities always loose.
    Only 22 Muslims (4.2%) in newly elected Indian Parliament, though they constitute 13-14 % total Indian population. Why even in Muslim dominated areas did not elect your own?

  • Manto India

    Shocking Fact: WHY DO DALITS (LOWEST CASTE IN INDIA) SUPPORT HIGH CASTE RIGHT WING HINDOOO MILITANT PARTIES?
    India has DALIT population of 16.6%, 84 of 543 parliamentary seats are reserved for DALITS, i.e. 15.5 % seats of total seats reserved for DALITS.
    In latest parliamentary elections, Hindu Right wing parties BJP+ got 58 % of DALIT Seats i.e. 49 of those 84 seats. AND biggest REAL DALIT party BSP gets NO (0) seats. WHY SO VERY STRANGE

  • Manto India

    Surprising Fact WHY DO TRIBALS SUPPORT HIGH CASTE RIGHT WING HINDOOO MILITANT PARTY?
    India has Tribal population of 8.6%, 47 of 543 parliamentary seats are reserved for tribals, i.e. 8.7 % seats of total seats reserved for tribals
    Hindu Right wing party BJP got 57 % of Tribal Seats i.e. 27 of those 47 seats.
    That means tribals support right wing Hindu militant party bjp more than non tribals. IF support is even BJP should have got 24 tribal seats.
    VERY STRANGE

  • Manto India

    Modi was engaged at the age of 13 to Jashodaben Chimanlal and the child couple
    were married by the time they were not even 18. They spent very little time together
    and were soon estranged because Modi decided to pursue an itinerant
    life. Modi asked Jashodaben to complete her studies. See what India’s most leftist sworn Modi’s enemy magazine has to say about this.

    also check wikipedia for his married status.

      ballot boxes which were tamperd?

      • Manto India

        Elections were held when congress was in power. U mean to say congress tamperd ballot boxes for Modi? Our congress nominated honest efficient CEC Sampath would have allowed that. Your argument are too puerile. Grow up, smell the coffee and see reality.

  • Manto India

    For over ten years, anti Modi Congress led UPA at the Center with all its power + NGOs + media have tried their best to prove Modi’s role in Gujarat riots. Supreme Court of India ordered Special Investigation Team(SIT) has absolved Modi of any role in Gujrat riots.

    • Nishat

      would u have said the same thing if your people were the victims?

      • Manto India

        Firstly all Muslims and Hindus killed in Gujrat riots are “My people”. Secondly what I am stating are facts. if u want counter facts with your facts not with baseless emotional jargons like “your people/ my people”. Thirdly I repeat again 10 years enemy govt could not find any proof. These baseless Modi hauntings have made him PM.

  • The same old regurgitation. Although I’m a big Modi fan, I would really like to see an original anti-Modi article. These authors don’t even feel embarrassed. Really, this is all you can come up with? What about “5 things you should know about Sonia Gandhi”? Can you ever even dare to come up with such an article?
