Oh man! The Big Lebowski reference is 200% accurate. On a serious note though, it feels almost certain that the Modi Government is going to lead India into another bloodshed, sooner or later. I hope not but that sinking feeling just doesn't go away given his track record.

It's already happened with the lynchings, killings and sporadic riots, but at scale of India, it just doesn't leave a big enough mark. It's kind of sad really. India rationalizes the most horrific acts of humanity, shrugs and moves on.

Have you lived through 80s, and the constant riots in India during that time ? India is a no where near being a fascist country, because for love of god, its not ONE country.

Calling RSS alt-right, completely makes the whole article laughable. RSS was the Right, BJP was the Right, Jan Sangh (BJP's predecessor) was the Right and they were the only game in town, in a mostly Fabian socialist India.

Please go read some History.

Here is a nugget. In Hyderabad riots only happened in INC regime, when TDP was in power no riots. Now both are Centre-Left populist parties.

Rejection of Neo-liberalism is not fascism and the Harvard-Soviet fragilistas of the world, summoning ghosts of Hitler when a country like India is not ONE race is amusing but also horrifying because these morons actually have a platform for their "fake news".

RSS is alt-right of India even if you think it isn't. Anyone who claims otherwise simply because INC or TDP jokers did something wrong elsewhere is either stupid or simply insane. RSS is and always will be an alt-right outfit even if every other political party like INC/TDP/BJP cease to exist.

Go read the some history yourself. I can meanwhile eat some beef nuggets on the side. ;)

You can eat beef nuggets with bacon, for what I care. That does not change the facts.

Another way of looking at it is every war before 1800 took place with a smaller global population than India has right now. Yes, a lot of bad things happen in India, but this is partly because a lot of things happen in India.

Can you explain the issues with Modi's government? As somebody who has never been there and get his news from the Caspian report, John Oliver and Al Jazeera, it looks like Modi is trying to do the right thing for the country.
