Re: Is India turning fascist under Modi?
I don’t know that if we name a forum ‘General’, it will cater all threads based on ‘Generalisation’. First, Mumbai hotels incident lead to ‘Height of hatred by Indian’ and now a random video turning a whole country fascist.
Having said (and I’m ready to be called Indian sympathizer / worshiper or whatever may come), if they selected Modi, we also gave votes to Jamat e Islami. Do I need to mention what this Jamat had been upto?
We have seen more fascist behavior in the name of ethnicity / sectarian differences in Pakistan, but still we don’t accept ourselves (Pakistani nation as a whole) as fascist. Why? because we know there are some good people who don’t believe in any discrimination. Trust me, you will find many Indian disagreeing to what is being shown in the video or what is being implemented by Modi Government. Even bollywood (which is thrown in the face of people who try to hilight some good about India) is talking against the sacredness of cow.
I agree with this bit too, and have noticed a lot of Indians standing up to this. A lot of them also stood up for Kasuri which is heartening, but still doesn’t change the fact that a fascist leader was voted in power after sweeping polls. India on this path will undo all their progress.
