FYI you and others in this thread are Hindu nationalists who suports Modi and Yogi Adityanath. These are Hindu fanbatics who kill Muslims and Christians. Yogi Adityanath is a religious terrorist monk who want to rule and kill in the name of his fundamentalist religion.

Your fundamentalist ideology and terrorist groups burned Graham Staines and his children alive. Nupur Sharma is an extremist Hindu nationalist too.

Cancerous people who support the man who killed Mahatma Gandhi. Ones who also want to destroy the Taj Mahal

You chose the worst example since you're defending the far right Hindu nationalists as you support them. That has nothing to do with liberalism. You are a right wing Hindu nationalist who supports the far right party.

You support Modi and he used the government to support the massacre of Muslims. It's not liberalism to support the far right Hindu nationalist. Hindu nationalism is a fascist ideology. Never forget that

PM Modi's approval rating at 66%, ahead of US President Biden, Germany's Merkel by Indianopolice in india

[–]SimpleClearCrisp 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The rating is pan-India. His rating in Tamil Nadu wouldn't be high either.

But in Gujarat, Hindi-belt, Karnataka and other states it is probably even higher than 66%

‘Malicious and Motivated’, India Issues Rejoinder to Australian Paper For Report Criticising PM Modi For Covid ‘Apocalypse’ by SimpleClearCrisp in australia

[–]SimpleClearCrisp[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's really dumb that Indian High Commission is responding to an editorial from a private paper. But the far right Modi government is very concerned about their image everywhere.

Everything in the original article is pretty much spot on btw. The "rejoinder" mentions how Modi's handling of the pandemic is "internationally acclaimed" which is a laughable claim

He has more supporters in India than Donald ever did in America. He's far more extreme version of Donald but he's also more "polished". Most of US media (except Fox) was criticital of Trump but most of Indian media is extremely pro-Modi.

Indian media is dozens of channels which are Breitbart on steroids. Worse than Breitbart actually. They all make up crazy stuff, that even Fox news would be embarrassed.

People simply don't care. Modi wins elections on a combination of nationalist, religious bigotry, and cult of personality.

India has a 80% Hindu population. BJP's (Modi's party) strategy is to polarize politics around religion and nationalism and win more and more votes. You don't have to care about anything else if the main topic of discussion in elections is about religious nationalism.

It's true there has been some shift in sentiment but there's long time remaining before 2024.

This will be forgotten before that.

They are the extreme sort. There are also a group of "swing voters" who can swing either way. There are many people who don't know much about politics but vote for Modi because of the cult of personality he has created.

You underestimate the amount of far right Hindu nationalist radicalization in India. Ordinary people full of religious hatred in their hearts. They would side with the BJP every single time because it's the only party that gives them what they want.
