Illiberal? The BJP party and the RSS are fascists.
Can confirm, it's literally 1939 and we force Muslims to wear gold stars and send them to concentration camps.
PM Modi says "Identify them by their clothes", and all over India Hindu supremacists beat Muslim men to death after forcing them praise the Hindu god Ram.
PM Modi ignores and refuses to discuss the ethnic & communal genocidal civil war in Manipur that is in its 5th month, while churches are burnt and Kukis have been ethnically cleansed from Imphal valley.
Peacefully protesting Sikh farmers are called Khalistani and terrorists while a violet hindu supremacist attacks them under Delhi police's eye.

Please don't lie, Indian Muslims neither force Hindus to praise Allah nor do they lynch Hindus.
What do you know then?
You are lying. India's farmers had been peacefully protesting the pro-corporate farm laws that Modi rammed through Parliament since they left their homes to meet the PM in Delhi. On their way, they were subject to state violence in Haryana by Haryana state govt & central forces, then they were prevented from entering Delhi by Delhi police and central paramilitary forces who barricaded the roads, created concrete barriers, and planted iron spikes on the roads. India's farmers rather than react violently sat down on the public roads that they were stopped on. They braved rain, floods, winter, Delhi's fiery summer all without any violence on their part. Violence was inflicted on them throughout by the Modi govt and BJP's goons & they were lied about constantly by Godimedia.
670 of India's farmers died on the streets outside Delhi waiting for PM Modi to atleast meet them. Modi's response to the deaths was 'Did they die for me?'

you caught me, I was lying maliciously. This was a waste of my energy. Deleting the comments anyways
Yeah we have daily ritual of beating Muslims. Not to mention this clothing we make them wear. It is required by PM modi's law to kick a Muslim whenever we see them.
Combine that with violent Islamophobic hate-speech, destroying centuries old shrines of Sufi saints, and you'll find it has become a daily all-day event. If India had a tracker saying "_ days since we persecuted Muslims since 2014" , that no. would show 0.
If you're embarassed at the outing of religious perssecution of minority religions in India, then instead of playing a wierd denial game, work to stop the persecution.
Why would I believe trackers when I bash them every Wednesday myself?
Wow. Genocide is not a minimum criteria for fascism.
Fascism is characterized by an ideology that one group of people is superior to others. That's literally the ideology of the RSS. Hindu nationalism is fascism.
It's hilarious how many different definitions of fascism I see on Lemmy on a given day
Do we Indians have a server on Lemmy? just wondering.
Oh, I forgot the part where a country could be fascist without literally committing the Holocaust.
As an Indian, this issue is far more complex than you make it out to be. I never voted for BJP but yeah, they are not fascists, but the potential is there. RSS is basically like the military wing of BJP, more accurately, BJP is the political wing of RSS.
We Indians have seen oppression under the left and the right, so we don't usually use these labels so loosely.
The RSS was created based on fascism and its laders were huge fans of Hitler & Mussolini.
If the goal is economic transformation, socialism works.
Socialism is like the ex we thought was too pretty but turned out not to be that pretty :(
Tried that, didn't work all that good. Although it kinda had it's advantages. I like what we have in India better
There's a reason Deng Xiaoping wrote what he did on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics: the Soviet model of socialism wasn't as effective as it needed to be for developing countries.
