Editing Narendra Modi (section)

==='''On religious minorities'''===
In an interview to a Muslim newspaper

'Your mouths are watering these days at the prospect of creating a Muslim-majority nation in the name of Akhand Bharat (Greater India). And getting all Muslims together, with the Indian Muslims at their head, to create strife. Isn’t this a dream of yours?' (8/3/2014) [http://tribune.com.pk/story/680511/the-delusional-narendra-modi/]


Asked if he was pained by the deaths of Muslims in anti-Muslim riots in his home state during his run as Chief Minister

'Any person if we are driving a car, we are a driver, and someone else is driving a car and we’re sitting behind, even then if a puppy comes under the wheel, will it be painful or not? Of course it is.' (12/7/2013) [http://blogs.reuters.com/india/2013/07/12/interview-with-bjp-leader-narendra-modi/]


Untouchable caste members are scavengers by choice

'At some point of time, somebody must have got the enlightenment that it is their (Valmiks’) duty to work for the happiness of the entire society and the Gods; that they have to do this job bestowed upon them by Gods; and that this job of cleaning up should continue as an internal spiritual activity for centuries. This should have continued generation after generation. It is impossible to believe that their ancestors did not have the choice of adopting any other work or business.'
