Yet something like 1/3 of the population is cheering on this move as if it’s a good thing.
An Indian author was on Amanpour tonight, talking about Modi's push toward Hindu nationalism. Modi's party now rules in 20 of 28 states in India, and gerrymandering helped them, a lot. He heard one elected official, from Modi's party, publicly proclaim that he will do nothing for his Muslim constituents, because he "knows they didn't vote for him", and the crowd cheered. The sense is that India is drifting to being a one party state, in spite of being a democracy for nearly 80 years. One other thing. At a couple points in the interview, the author said he had to be very careful what he said, without elaborating.
