Ramachandra Guha says he is getting threats for criticizing the chaddis

Writer-historian Ramachandra Guha tweeted on Tuesday that he had been getting “identical threat mails” warning him not to be critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.

The historian, however, told PTI that such mails were a “routine affair” and it was “nothing serious”.

Guha, 58, claimed that the mails also warned him against criticising BJP president Amit Shah.

In signal to Modi critic Siddharth Varadarajan, goons beat up caretaker of his flat

Senior journalist Siddharth Varadarajan, former editor of The Hindu newspaper, today posted on his Facebook and Twitter pages to say that four men had beaten up the caretaker of his Delhi flat on 23 February and said, "Tell your sahib to watch what he says on TV."

Varadarajan often appears on TV news shows as a political commentator and is also the author of a book on the Gujarat riots of 2002. Varadrajan had quit The Hindu in October 2013 after the newspaper's board had decided to appoint Malini Parthasarthy as editor. A member of The Hindu board had criticised Varadarajan for not giving adequate space to articles about BJP leader Narendra Modi.

The unidentified men also issued threats against Varadarajan's wife, the sociologist Nandini Sundar. Sundar, author of a book on the Bastar region, has been waging a battle in and outside court against the Chhattisgarh government for alleged human rights excesses.

Neither Varadarajan nor Sundar were home when the attackers visited.

It may be that someone is not happy / satisfied with Guha's criticism of Modi and BJP, as Modi and BJP have been doing quite well electorally in spite of Guha and others' criticism.

Guha should return his awards in protest. I saw the "threat mails" on one of the sites. Looks like some baaiyyas who can't write well in English were playing games. Not clear if they had anything to do with Modi or BJP. Guha should go to Soonya and Pappu so that all three can sit together and cry.
