Not OP and not particularly knowledgeable, but under Modi India has shifted into something closer to old-school, early 1900s fascism than almost any other country currently. For example, his rise to power was largely on the back of inciting mob violence against Muslims while giving the perpetrators impunity. He continued that policy on the national level, and his party's paramilitary wing is much like the Brownshirts.

Yeah that's what's so strange, they act like we believe in the propaganda. It's like they completely forget that a lot of us were fighting this battle 25 years ago and fucking lost. The people who were chest thumping now are the same ones who were chest thumping for authoritarianism 25 years ago. Any time I see some idiot European post "Americans, I thought you..." it's a dead giveaway that their stupid ass didn't pay attention to the post 2001 fall of democracy. This didn't just happen overnight....
