India going fascist
by Tataghata Mukherjee on Jan 02, 2008 11:46 AM

Educated and elite Indian Hindus have started to engage in a rationalization exercise to excuse Modi actions saying that what he did was indeed right, as clearly seen by his electoral wins.
Democracy does not mean majority prevails all the time. It means it prevails as long as you stick to legal methods as provisioned by Indian Constitution and legal code. When you subvert them, even your electoral wins have to be trashed to uphold the law of the land.
Indian Hindus have gone blind in their hatred for Muslims. So much so that, they are not only ready to excuse Modi of his crimes, they are ready to hail him as their leader.
And thats when I start fearing the trends and ask myself- How long before we become completely fascist?
