    What’s more fascist about India than any other place? Because they have a right winger in charge now?

        This is the same as someone asking “How is the US fascist?”, and answering that with the wiki link to fascism.

        Yes India has a right wing government. But if India is fascist so is America, Italy, Poland (new regime), the Netherlands (under Wilders), etc. Believe it or not, right wing governments can be a normal era in a democracy. The BJP is not making comments to annex other nations, tightening the rule of law, passing discriminatory policies, or abolishing elections or term limits. There is no democratic backsliding that has occurred in India because of the last 2 BJP terms, and Modi is going to step down after this term. After Modi, the BJP has no better candidate and the lefts/centrists will be back in power due to incumbency bias.

        And all of this is normal in a democracy with multiple parties who can offer real choices to the people.
