Hindu nationalism, once a fringe ideology in India, is now mainstream. Nobody has done more to advance this cause than Prime Minister Narendra Modi, one of India’s most beloved and polarizing political leaders.
And no entity has had more influence on his political philosophy and ambitions than a paramilitary, right-wing group founded nearly a century ago and known as the RSS.
“We never imagined that we would get power in such a way,” said Ambalal Koshti, 76, who says he first brought Modi into the political wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in the late 1960s in their home state, Gujarat.
Hindutva folks truly inhabit an alternate reality, like all fascists. You do understand that votes are public and some folks are bored enough to look for manipulation on this platform manually right?
You are talking about the leader of Bharat and a billion people. I hope you do not misuse freedom of speech. Do you understand the ethics of a billion people?
I’m Indian and Hindu and I think Modi is a psycho despot who needs to be stopped. And I’ve thought that since he was in power. And I know quite a lot of Indians who feel exactly the same.
" misuse" freedom of speech and might i ask ask who decides for us what is misusing and what’s not ? Is it our overlord Modhi oe trump or whoever has power ? Is that what freedom is in your concept ?

I don’t understand are you threatning me ?
No this idiot actually thinks people are using Lemmy of all fucking places to influence Indian elections. They’re just a dumb BJP fascist living in their own reality. He thinks the Indian state is going to hunt you down for taking bad about daddy modi after the election.
Fascists never fucking change man. No matter the country.
Yeah bro really seems to be proud of the cast he were born into too see the last name and his bio . legit right wing nut if i ever saw one . Yeah i dunno they might even do that .
I thought so that you’d eventually come down to that, promoting caste discrimination in Bharat. Well, that’s all for you clowns for now.
Before barking fascism, see the demographic stats for your own countries first.
Whattaboutist deflection after straight up decrying different opinions as nebulously illegal. Like, you are actually providing a case study on WHY hindutva proponents are fascists, you understand that right? I’m not the one who’s convincing them, you’re doing it yourself by carefully using every play in the fascist toolkit.
This shit may be effective to an Indian audience, but it’s tired and played out to the majority of us.
See, now the whole world has understood the narrative of “Dictator Putin, Killer Xi Jinping, and Fascist Modi”. It is not going to work anymore. Modi is 100% democratic and he more than well manages Bharat well. Soon, Bharat is going to be in the top 3 economies of the world and I clearly see that it is going to happen! :D
Just because he is the leader of 32% of a billion people doesn’t give him a few pass to be a fascist dictator and a pussy. Man can’t even entertain questions from his own party worker. Vanakam.
This is why the hindutva admire Israel. Unfortunately for you, calling me anti-indian because I call your politico-religious movement fascist is as effective as calling me antisemitic for calling the slaughter in Gaza a genocide on this platform.
