fDi award to Modi going to ‘Gujarat’ instead – Anand’s response

Thanks to all those who sent in their protests against fDi magazine’s ‘Asian Personality of the Year 2009′ award to Narendra Modi. This was a minor victory – offset by the magazine’s decision to give award the ‘state of Gujarat’. This is problematic because the period they are awarding Gujarat for includes the 2002 carnage. In addition, Modi, as Chief Minister, will probably still be the person to receive the award.
