Salvos to PM Modi for now !!

On 23rd of November 2014, two Kerala born Indian Catholics Father Kuriakose Elias Chavara and Sister Euphrasia were canonized by Pope Francis at St Peter’s Square in Vatican.

It is a matter of pride not only for the Christian community but for all us Indians that two of ours had been graced with Sainthood.

On 17th of February 2015, a felicitation function for the said 'sainthood' was organized by a group from the Christian community at New Delhi, where the Hon'ble PM of India Sh. Narendra Modi had been invited as the Chief Guest.

In a very powerful speech delivered at the said event the PM slammed religious bigotry and strongly reassured that his government will not allow any group be it from the majority or the minority to incite hatred.


The said statement from the PM is hailed by many and I am one of them. I feel it's a very good course correction, provided it's taken to the grassroots. There are many wishes of mine but for now would wish that the Hon'ble PM realizes and takes another course correction i.e. in regard with the ‘Ordinance’ his government has brought on the RFCT LARR act 2013 . This land bill is a very important one for the future of India, as it replaced the draconian land bill of 1894 which the British had formulated. I personally had worked very hard for this new law and would have been happier to see upgrades to the same rather than its death.
