Though Google has apologised after images of Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Midi, showed up last week as one of the top 10 criminals in the world; however, will this apology be good enough to hide the criminal back ground of Mr. Modi? Some of the prominent criminals who appeared alongside Modi were George Bush, Osama bin Laden, Muammar Gaddafi, Anthony Garcia and Joseph Kony. We understand why Google apologised within no time. Obviously it doesn’t want to upset a sitting prime minister of a country of over 1 billion population — it’s an issue of business not of principle. But does it matter if someone is a sitting authority? Shall we forget what he/she has done in the past?
Remember, Modi was earlier denied US visa due to his role as chief minister during Gujarat riots of 2002. But those restrictions were lifted when he became India’s Prime Minister. But the ghosts of those who were killed, burned, injured, maimed, looted and displaced during and after the riots have nothing to do with business etiquettes or foreign governments’ political limitations. Their search for justice is far from over, they have nothing to do with Google’s excuse that search engine’s algorithm included Modi in the top criminals list. In fact, Google has given Modi as clean chit for his role in riots, making it a search engine’s erroneous feature. Thousands of Modi’s supporters took to the social media to express their anger, asking for Google to apologise.
In my opinion, it was just a reality check. Since he took as prime minister, he is bent upon proving what Google ‘erroneously’ reflected the other day. In fact Modi is leading religious extremists on both sides of the border. He has given a new lease of life to religious extremists in Pakistan to force the government to put aside any peace agenda and work for total destruction of each other.
Sure, no one likes the truth especially if at fault because truth always bites. Modi ji, mind you, no one is protesting on behalf of the other nine top criminals. Search engine algorithm is an apolitical tool and can’t be that wrong.
