    I’m pretty sure that’s how guys like RSS would self-identify. A Hindu Rashtra (ethnostate) is their stated goal, and the marching and paramilitary activity make me skeptical they would say “we’re just moderate”.

        And see, that’s where you can actually get me. I don’t follow Indian politics that closely, I don’t know off the top of my head what exactly the mainstream NGOs are talking about when they mention the autocratic shift under the BJP. Maybe you can add some context.

        It looks like it still rates still rates as a flawed democracy at this point, to be clear. Even groups openly hostile to democracy, which the BJP isn’t to my knowledge, can take many years to accomplish the shift to autocracy, because norms don’t die overnight.

            The US political system is on the brink of failing. That’s not a brag.

            You seem biased too, probably because you’re in the picture.
