IndiaNewsWatchVajpayee Govt Didn't Object to UK Report That 2002 Riots Were 'Pre-Planned', Cops 'Told Not to Act'The minutes of an April 16, 2002 phone call between former external affairs minister Jaswant Singh and his UK counterpart reveal the BJP-led government only protested the leak of the report and its claimed death toll. No criticism was made of the UK report's critical observations about the role played by the Gujarat police and by political organisations connected to Modi in the anti-Muslim violence.<a href="https://thewire.in/diplomacy/exclusive-vajpayee-govt-didnt-object-to-uk-report-that-2002-riots-were-pre-planned-cops-told-not-to-act" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://thewire.in/diplomacy/exclusive-vajpayee-govt-didnt-object-to-uk-report-that-2002-riots-were-pre-planned-cops-told-not-to-act</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gujarat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gujarat</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GujaratPogrom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GujaratPogrom</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GujaratRiots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GujaratRiots</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NarendraModi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NarendraModi</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BJP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BJP</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VHP</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/diplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diplomacy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/vajpayee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vajpayee</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JaswantSingh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JaswantSingh</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JackStraw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JackStraw</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UKForeignOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UKForeignOffice</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BBCDocumentary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BBCDocumentary</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiMuslimRiots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiMuslimRiots</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RBSreekumar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RBSreekumar</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SanjeevBhatt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SanjeevBhatt</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HarenPandya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HarenPandya</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/modi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#modi</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/muslims" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#muslims</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hindutva" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hindutva</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GujaratPolice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GujaratPolice</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HinduMobs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HinduMobs</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/india" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#india</a>

Traveling Salesman :verified:In my view the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/rise" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#rise</a> of the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Hindu" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Hindu</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/right" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#right</a> can be summarized in these phases: 1. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Savarkar" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Savarkar</a>: the ideologue 2. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Golwalkar" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Golwalkar</a>: the survivor 3. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Vajpayee" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Vajpayee</a> and <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Advani" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Advani</a>: the builders 4. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Modi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Modi</a> and <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Shah" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Shah</a>: the conquerors

Traveling Salesman :verified:Found it poignant and funny that <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Vajpayee" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Vajpayee</a> was raised in pre independence <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Gwalior" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Gwalior</a> as a subject of the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Scindia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Scindia</a> kings. But today Vajpayee is the biggest icon of the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BJP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BJP</a>, a party in which the descendants of the Scindia kings are mere mid level functionaries. Scindia Royals had a big role to play in the rise of the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Hindu" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Hindu</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/right" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#right</a>, as funders and activists. They might have supplied the pistol and bullets that <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Godse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Godse</a> used to kill <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Gandhi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Gandhi</a>.

Traveling Salesman :verified:Received this book yesterday. Fascinating look into the life and career of the Hindu right's most popular icon. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Vajpayee" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Vajpayee</a>

Traveling Salesman :verified:Ordered this book, won't be surprised if it's banned by the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BJP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BJP</a> govt. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Vajpayee" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Vajpayee</a> <a href="https://www.flipkart.com/vajpayee/p/itmb1eb35024554b?pid=9789395624497&lid=LSTBOK9789395624497MJMO31" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.flipkart.com/vajpayee/p/itmb1eb35024554b?pid=9789395624497&lid=LSTBOK9789395624497MJMO31</a>
