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.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.
Yeah we have daily ritual of beating Muslims.
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.
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.
