[@Lost_Johnny]

I am glad to see Vijay is safe. I thought he might have been targeted.

[@warweasel2330]

I was under the impression he didn't live in India anymore.

[@recalcitrantrecidivist5927]

This is like a witch hunt in the dark ages. They may as well charge them with sedition.

[@Praisethesunson]

I'm sure if Modi could he would have.

It's mcarthism . It is ironic how the fascists in India hold the same fears as the fascists in the US

[@Praisethesunson]

The global right is like an evil version of international solidarity. They will all spout the same propaganda as long it puts/keeps them in state power.

Charlie, nationalism in India has nothing to do with Fascism or Nazism in Europe. For that you need to be an Abrahamaic with fixed Belief Systems.

[@1971gift]

Sending Prashant energies for his safety.

[@seshanm54]

All the protests which are visible and open show democracy is alive and kicking in India.

[@Shokunin_Spirit]

Maybe alive but it's in the ICU.

[@seshanm54]

None of the above is to be construed as blanket support for the Modi Govt. or its actions. In a democracy as huge, fractious and unwieldy as India, there is always scope for great disagreement with the ruling party. But the reason why Modi enjoys tremendous support is that he and his party, are perceived to be patriots, unlike the others who are dynastic & corrupt or ideologically indoctrinated, with external loyalties, such as the Communists.

[@Shokunin_Spirit]

The operative phrase here is "perceived to be". Also, it's unclear what you mean by outside loyalties. Political theory cannot be discrminated against as foreign or domestic. In fact, it's completely immaterial. But of course, Marxism, communism, these terms automatically conjure up Western propaganda against the USSR or the PRC in people's minds. There needs to be a redefinition of what it means to be a patriot.

[@seshanm54]

The Communists come in various shades of RED, from well-meaning idealists & patriots to the supporters of Naxalites, who have indulged in the most gory & violent attacks in different States of India. These Naxalites find all kinds of support from urban "intellectuals"(read Communists). There is a term for them in India. They are called URBAN NAXALS.
