      Yes, unfortunately fascism is populist in India and has been for many years.

      RSS and their propaganda of Hindu nationalism is pervasive. Lots of undereducated folks. Most people actually believe that Hindus are Superior to Muslims.

        Feel free to party about the increase of fascism. Freedom-loving people everywhere reject fascism and work to defeat it everywhere.
