People who make wars

“The people who make wars, the people who reduce their fellows to slavery, the people who kill and torture and tell lies in the name of their sacred causes, the really evil people in a word – these are never the publicans and the sinners. No, they’re the virtuous, respectable men, who have the finest feelings, the best brains, the noblest ideals.”

– Aldous Huxley, British novelist

Every time I read something about Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi or see his picture on TV or in a publication, I am reminded of the 2002 Gujarat violence under his leadership.
