NaMo: Hate Speech
On his various communication on the subject, Gujarat chief minister Mr. Narendra Damodardas Modi
(NaMO) often distinguish himself from any other hardcore hindutav political leader. So what exactly is the
appeal of Modis speech? Of course, there is one (and indeed only one) point that no other leader so openly
represents the politics of the discriminating minority population of India (Shankar Gopalkrishnan & Editor:
Shudddhabrata Sengupta). It can be concluded through sequence of his speeches given over the period of
time at different locations. The interesting aspect of Modi- and this makes him honest- is that he genuinely
believes the things he represents. Discussing Kashiram Rana, Surats six term undefeated Lok Sabha of
Parliament (Whom Modi denied a ticket in 2009) with journalist Saba Naqvi, Stating that he has observed that
Rana was different because he was non- vegetarian: Maans khane wale logon ka vyavhar alag hota hai (meat-
eating people have different temperament)(Aakar Patel). Here he pursue the similar section of people who
really agree with his dislike of Muslims and his love of unity of command, should consider this aspect to him
and what it means for them if he takes power. He is aching to bring with him his social vision, which is aligned
with that of RSS, to rest of India from Gujarat. A money minded, intellectually barren, segregated, ghettoized,
non-drinking and vegetarian utopia that some of us have fled from. Today, the group of those who idolize him
is large as we observe on social media, which the group, in fact, dominates. A quick transition is happening as
the middle class expands, education and awareness have produced a yearning for identity that is broader than
caste, and for many urban Indians, Modi has provided this. The contour of his message is simple: Indians are
great people, but our leaders are corrupt. If we have firm and decisive rule, the Hindu Nation will become a
world power again. This message is not simplistic but it is darker because it is colored with hatred. Modi can
communicate over the head of the media with his audience, and he can do this better than any other leader in
India. This is why his power is independent of the media or the traditional party structures. He reaches out
directly to his group in the eternal way of the demagogue. Like Modi, none of the leaders in India appealed to
the most populous segment of their society, the servants, and the real landless (Aakar Patel).

Delwadia 2Modis 9th September 2002 hate speech at Bahucharaji, Gujarat (Gauvrav Yatra) is often cited by
former DGP Gujarat R B Sreekumar as a communally objectionable speech by the Chief Minister Shri
Narendra Modi in Sept 2002. He provided the content of the speech to the National Commission for
Minorities.
Rhetorical tools used
1. AnalogyA kind of extended metaphor or long smile in which explicit comparison is made between
two things (events, ideas, people, etc.) for the purpose (GPBCL)Blowing the bugle of self-respect of
Gujarat. This is the holy place of power (Shakti), the power for extermination of Ashuras. We have
resolved to destroy and stamp out all forces of evil, which are a threat to the self-respect of Gujarat. A set
of people, who are not concerned about ordinary Gujarati citizens, are keen to impede progress of
Gujarat State and its future, are out to defame Gujarat State. (Speech)
2. Onomatopoeia - The formation or use of words that imitate the sounds associated with the objects or
actions they refer to (GPBCL).There is allegation against us that we are Hinduwadis. Oh! Brothers, for
the development of Bahucharaji Devi temple, our Govt. has allotted 8 Crore Rupees. Is it a crime done
by us? (Speech).
3. Litotes- An understatement in which an affirmative is expressed by negating its opposite (GPBCL)
Since, we (means BJP) are here, we brought water in Sabarmati during the month of Shravan, when
you (Congress) were there, could bring it in the month of Ramzan (the holy month of Muslims).
4. Metaphor
An implied analogy or comparison between two unlike things that actually have something important in
common. (GPBCL) If some people go on producing children, A need for teaching a lesson to those
people, who are expanding their population, We (Hindus) can not permit merchants of murder freely
operate in Gujarat, The schemes of Alis, Malis and Jamalis will not successful to do any harm to us
(Speech)
Narendra Modi's oratory captivates his audience. A demagogue's agenda is facilitated via language,
which becomes a site of power and violence in the political public sphere. This article looks at Modi's
emotionally charged speeches, which are emblematic of his larger political language. (Nonica Datta). It is clear

Delwadia 3from a close perusal of the speech that there is a desire to create hatred and ill will towards minority
(DGP, Chakravarti). The speech clearly indicates the indirect justification of policy carnage against the
minority. There was a clear-cut design behind the deliverance of such speech by the CM, Gujarat. The
comment on Narmada water clearly signifies the motive behind the making the reference that if congress
government is in power then they would have been brought Narmada water in the month of Ramzan, a holy
month of Ramzan and observance of Roza are one of the Five pillars of Islam hallowed in the Holy Kuran. The
comment (Ame panch, Amara panch, referring the Muslim producing five children) & refugee
campsthe comment reflects an attempt to ridicule the plight refugees from the minority community who were
dispersed from their house because of the widespread violence that was not contained. The comment magnifies
the poisoned stereotype of the alleged Muslim aversion to family planning. The statements also project that the
Muslim minority as a stumbling block to progress and patronizes an Us versus them mind set among the
populous that then becomes easy fodder for incitement and the outbreak of communal violence.
Whole speech displays a definite communal bias, denigration of the minority community, ridiculing
and belittling of the Holiest scriptures of the minority community particularly the five pillars of Islam, the holy
month of Ramzan and observance of Roza. These references will certainly germinate a sense of hatred ill will
and exclusivism towards the Muslim minority in the minds of the minority community. Speech from a senior
most state head will lead communal biases among the people and thats the reason why he turn his strategy to
address development agenda simultaneously which is however irrelevant to his personality. The speech was
dangerous and untenable because the sense of exclusivism and sectarianism obvious in the tone and tenor that
clearly indicated from the present state of Muslim community in Gujarat spreading ghettoization and separating
them from the basic needs of human being. The speech indicated the personality that can do anything, anytime,
at any location to anyone for Power. The speech not only goes against the concept of emotional integration of
the Indian people but also engenders an intense feeling of alienation among the Muslims towards Hindu
community. (Shankar Gopalkrishanan) In this perspective the speech of the chief minister is injurious to the
Preamble of the Indian constitution.
The government reflects the true face of the society that seems true for state, Gujarat. Resident of
Gujarat perceives hatred and therefore NaMo is successful in winning election in the Gujarat for three

the hatred to the minority community to persuade vote bank of majority section of Conservative Non Literate
