So, Narendra Modi shall not wear askull cap. He will not don it because Gandhi Nehru and Patel did not do so. But unlike Gandhi, Modi will never ever be part of anything like the Khilafat Movement He will also not plough through fields of Noakhali like places to offer solace to people who lost every belonging and loved one in communal mayhem.Modi does not actually need to wear a skull cap. For me, it is not a metaphor of a signal that he has become more socially inclusive.There are others ways of doing so. This issue first came to the fore in September 2011 during his Sadbhavna Campaign when after amorning to evening fast, a Muslim gent went up to him and offered a skull cap. Modi refused and this became subject of recurring headlines.Sayed Imam Shahi Saiyed, the person who offered Modi a skull cap was no ordinary cleric. He was descendant of a sixteenth century Sufi saint, Imam Shah who established a religious order -Satpanth, in a village called Pirana on the outskirts of Ahmedabad.After his death, the sect came to be known for its syncretism and a shrine came up at the place where its founder had been buried.Over time the Dargah was managed by a collective that had a mix of Hindu Kutchi Patels and Muslim Saiyed descendants of Imam Shah.The man who offered Modi the skull cap was one of them and one-time member of the management board. Saiyed now has no role in the shrines management because the Dargah is now called Nishkalanki Narayan temple and has been completely taken over by Hindu groups. The Dargah's main gate has been shut, the grave of Imam Shah is called Sadguru Samadhi Sthal and the likes of Saiyed are persona non grata.The change of the shrine from its pluralistic past to its present monotheist character has mainly occurred during Modi's tenure.To be a truly inclusive leader, Modi needs to initiate steps to enable people to reclaim their spiritual heritage that they lost in the past decade of social onslaught.Instead of such an approach, he promises an India where Muslims will have the Quran in one hand and computer in the other. It is a forceful statement amid a controlled audience who can be signalled to break into applause. But if the Hindutva campaign has been aimed at restoring dignity of Hindus, then why is that word now not part of the promises. Insisting that Modi should wear askull cap is an amateurish way of cornering him.It is akin to looking at the enormity of the events of 2002 through the narrow prism of 'star' cases involving Modi. Instead of focussing solely on the so-called 'cleanchit' given to Modi by the SIT and its pending judicial review, it is worth recalling that Modi's government summarily closed almost 2000 criminal cases related to 2002 and these were reopened by Supreme Court Unfortunately the sagely Atal Bihari Vajpayee is no longer active in public life. Had he been, he would have surely been asked what was his advice for Modi. He would have once again reminded the need to follow Rajdharma and not always insist of being Dharmik.It is Modi's choice now if he wishes to don anyone else's headgear or not. The rest of the nation should move on to look for other symptoms of change and inclusiveness in Modi.
