Number war
We hear a lot much of Modism in forums, social websites and online discussions. Its a perception that Modism has grown astronomically and that there is little resistance or alternative to it. I am here to discourage such a sentiment. I assure there are huge number of Modi detractors as well. You do not see them of anti Modism as Modism because not supporitng Modi is essentially not Anti Modism. Also most of the Non Modi supporters do not comment on social network /forums/news channels or because they do not get any fun in tainting someone's image as Modism gives to its followers.
Paid MediaPeople allege paid media for propagating Anti Modism. There is no paid media or unpaid media. There is only one media. Media that shows what it thinks is right. Some part of media takes one stance the other takes the other. Do not degrade the entire Indian media by calling them corrupt.
Hindutva
Hindutva is not the perception of a few. It need not be same as the one that is preached by some Pandits. It is the thought of some who think what they are thinking is actually Hinduism. In reality, they are just naming their thoughts as Hindutva. I can equally give it the nickname as Chauvinism. That is my perception of what they call Hindutva.
Mask of Secularism
I completely agree that mask of secularism to hide a different internal thought is much more dangerous to oneself than good. But at the same time I contend that it does a lot more good to the society than bad. So, always the anti-secular ideas must be checked within. What modi stands for is termed as anti-secular. That is not the right word to be used. He stands for religious communalism. Can any one say that religious communalism is better than the mask of secularism??
Development
Coming back to your point of contention of most of his supporters. My personal view is that most of Modi's supporters are aggressive( including some violent ones) , restless and impatient people who cannot think beyond the scope of an inexperienced kid, these are those who think 'Silence' = 'Acceptance/ weakness' or 'Loud mouths' = 'correct/brave/decisive'. These are the people who cannot put themselves in someones shoes and think of the causes and consequences. I think these are the ones who expect to see only best results and not a hint of side effects or bad delivery.
Hitler was the one who gave the world the meaning for 'Development'. I guess such people who will give Hitler the reins of the nation just because he has loud mouth, because he is symbol of development. There is a lot more required for someone to be deserving to lead a nation.
Centre vs State
Gujarat is not as cosmopolitan and as diversified as India. India stands for extremes of diversity. Indian administration is more about convincing states and people of different states or castes or religions or income levels or other nations whose actions impact India on a macro scale.
Gujarat in this case can be compared to a herd of captured or worse free cows. The nation is a pride of wild male lions which lack coordination and mutual responsibility. Managing it can never be same as managing Gujarat. ( I am not saying he does not have more potential. I am saying that his potential is only tested on cows not lions). Ms. Jayalalita is a far more skilled, strong, dangerous and proficient hunter than what Modi can ever dream of. Can he control such Lions? Worse he might just infuriate them and make them unleash their anger. A nation requires leaders who can take the other lions into their pride and become stronger. In short I think its not wise enough to select a nation's leader based on his performance in one aspect that too in one prosperous state.
Anyway this post is not intended for those who is already a Modi follower or a Modi detractor. This is for those who still wonder what good or bad Modi stands for. In short he stands for a section of violent people who think there is only one absolutely foolproof way of addressing nation's problems . He stands for a great development achieved by crushing of people's or their aspirations(which ever is an obstacle for develpment).
Yours sincerely

"Many would prefer poverty to death"I do not think Modi can make rupee the international trade currency standard or that he can win the friendship of China. Worse, I think, he will make India the enemy of many and kill lakhs of soldiers and innocent people.
