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.
Every time I see an article on this prick I think, “Well this fucking sucks.”
Anyway, this fucking sucks.
Why? (I have no idea…I’m not up on Indian politics at all).
Man your post history is littered with “just asking questions” shenanigans.
Probably…that was a legit question though. I have no opinion on India.
Sure, you’re just asking questions - biased, manipulative, on-your-knees-for-fascists questions.
Who kicked your puppy today?
He’s a soft dictator effectively. Suppressed minorities from all over the country. Has elevated militant Hindu nationalism to politics. All while supplying Russia with fuel and arms during the embargo and pissing off both US and China by trying to have his cake and eat it too.
Thanks for the explanation.
