When Modi campaigned in Karnataka, he said in no uncertain terms, that Karnataka would / should become another GUJARAT !
This is proving all true as is evident on the attack of Christian Pastors, and well, there is also a flip side.... Several of the newspapers in Gujarat highlighted how Gujarati boys (read "Hindus") were hounded out of their hostels and colleagues by the Kannadigas. So Karnataka is learning real fast when they start hounding out people who are not "like them". How about the poor farmers who were murdered after the new Government took over ? Yes, already becoming JUST LIKE GUJARAT ! Leopards they say, can never change their spots.... Let's hope civil society in Karnataka wakes up atleast now.....
