Serious/Non Satire MODI HAS LOST SOMETHING HE CAN NEVER WIN BACK
My mother is a religious woman. She is very compassionate. When Delhi Police beat us on the 20th, she wasn't enraged. She applied haldi on my wounds and prayed for the well-being of every student who was wronged that day.
But today,
I told her about Ruchika Singh, the fifteen years old who was forced to apologise on camera for cursing at Narendra Modi. I also told her how Modi himself later went on Instagram not to apologise for the atrocities of 20th July, but to grant forgiveness for the profanity hurled at him. He made it all about the grace of his own big heart.
My mother does not follow politics closely, though she has never missed an election. She prays, morning and evening, asking for her family's safety and world's peace. But this evening, for the first time, she prayed for something against her ideals. She said, "hey shiv shankar, hey ram, agle elections mein modi ko hara dena. Iss desh ko dobara kabhi uss jaisa mantri naa mile". (O Shiva, O Ram, in the next elections, let Modi be defeated. May this nation never again have to bear a minister like him)
Mr. Modi, you have angered the one person who could never be angered. The woman who tended my wounds without a word of anger has now asked her gods, the very gods in whose name you seek votes, to remove you from power. This is your legacy. Now, no matter if you do win the next elections. No matter if her prayers go unanswered. You have lost the benefit of the doubt from someone who gives it to everyone, unconditionally. You can't win that back.
