LOL Temple devoted to Modi to open in Gujarat

We will ACT to change the constitution
only if we are THREATENED by Minority Population explosion

That will happen post 2050 AD not before

The voting rights of MInorities would be restricted post 2050 in my view

have you completely lost it ?

And hence, you are proving my point. India is prone to extremism.. you seem to be too sadly.. and there is a real possibly that it will go there much sooner than expected despite the current "isolation" of these incidents.

It is a TWO way street ; If Minority population explosion threatens the majority then what can we do
SO it is best that population stabilises

Modi temple will now converted to mother india temple after angry tweets from PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday morning urged people not to build temples in his name. Referring to media reports of an idol of his being installed in a temple in Rajkot, Gujarat, Mr. Modi tweeted: "Have seen the news about a temple being built in my name. I was appalled. This is shocking & against India's great tradition."

In a second tweet, he said: "Building such temples is not what our culture teaches us. Personally it made me very sad. Would urge those doing it not to do it."

Mr. Modi's idol is to be installed on Sunday. The temple is not new. It was built in 2006 and people till now had been worshipping photographs of Mr. Modi and an icon of Bharat Mata.

Mr. Modi's intervention comes in the wake of the criticism he had invited upon himself for donning a suit with his name embroidered all over it during the U. S. presidential visit last month. Many of his most ardent bhakts (fans) had found themselves at a loss for words in defending what his critics described as "megalomaniac" and "narcissist" tendencies.

Mr. Modi is not the first politician with a temple built in his name. In June last year – soon after the Lok Sabha elections — a temple was constructed in Mallial town of Karimnagar in Telangana in the name of Congress president Sonia Gandhi by the local unit as a mark of gratitude for the creation of the separate State.

AHMEDABAD: A temple dedicated to India's Narendra Modi is set to open in his home state of Gujarat thanks to some ultra-loyal supporters of the Hindu nationalist prime minister.

The Hindu temple, to be officially opened on Sunday in Kotharia village, includes an idol of the barrel-chested, dapper-dressed premier at which followers can make daily offerings and prayers.

About 350 Modi devotees have been collecting small donations in recent years for construction of the dome-roofed temple, some 210 kilometres (130 miles) from Gujarat's main city of Ahmedabad.

“Earlier we used to offer prayers to Bharat Mata (Mother India). But in the last few years we have been offering prayers to Modi-ji,” said Ramesh Undhad, using a Hindi honorific for respect.

“We had kept a framed photograph of Modi-ji beside the statue of Mother India,” Undhad, a former local councillor and head of the project, told AFP.

A long time chief minister of Gujarat, Modi stormed to power nationally last May, riding a “Modi-wave” of popularity that saw thousands pack rallies to hear the powerful and charismatic orator.

But the 64-year-old premier lost his aura of invincibility on Tuesday when his party was trounced at elections to the Delhi state assembly, his first major loss since taking charge nationally.

Followers in Kotharia village, however, are unwavering in their support.

“We believe he is an incarnation of God as after he became chief minister of Gujarat things changed for the better,” Undhad said.

“There was no communal violence during his tenure as chief minister. Peace and harmony has prevailed in Gujarat for over a decade."

Undhad did not mention the religious riots in 2002 when Modi was in charge of Gujarat that claimed more than 1,000 lives, mostly those of minority Muslims.

Local legislators will dedicate the temple — which cost between 400,000 rupees to 500,000 rupees ($6,400 to $8,000) to build — in a ceremony on Sunday.

the constitution is still supreme, I don't think there will ever be an Islamic takeover in India.

but I see your point, muslim majority will be a nightmare, RSS etc are nothing compared to how intolerant and fascist those guys are.

@Oscar

What do you have to say to people in USA when they raise the fears of
Hispanic takeover or Whites becoming minorities

the constitution is still supreme, I don't think there will ever be an Islamic takeover in India.

The Constitution can change after a HUNDRED years of use say from 1950 to 2050

Even if ONE or two states which are CURRENTLY Hindu Majority fall to Minorities
there will be PANIC all over India
