I have very little knowledge of India, but thought it might be interesting. I'd love to hear an informed comrade opinion.

So many parallels with the religious right in the US. Weaponising faith to forward extreme right and fascist ideologies, using it as a justification to discriminate against other people, races, nations etc. The 'muslim ban' that Trump put in place was just candy for the 'evangelical' movement.

I think Hindu Nationalism is playing the same game. Modi is fucking evil but he's just another facet of an inherently evil system that rewards fascist behavior and works to oppress the working class by any means necessary.
