Bravo Modi!
Narendra Modi deserves kudos for making sure the demolition drive goes on in Baroda irrespective of the protests from the Muslim community. From what I could see on TV, the dargah was right into the street and it was inevitable that it be demolished.
However, to make sure that this does not come across as a confrontationist attitude, Modi should now talk to the Muslim community (and not the so-called people who call themselves as leaders of the community) and try to see them make sense of the demolition. This is what the Mahatma would probably have done given such a scenario.
Even in B'lore, I see so many temples, mosques eating right into the road...itz time somebody takes the bull by the horns.
Try to love anybody and everybody.
