Hindus taking lessons from Muslims these days?
Hindu nationalists pride themselves in being as obnoxious as Muslims.
Ironically, the group in between the two, the Sikhs, have learned that to survive they have to do two things: be middle class merchants, and command the Indian army, whose officer corps is heavily Sikh. They make good soldiers.
This is why the various Ghandi leaders of India always came a cropper, because they decided to double cross the Sikhs, which is pretty stupid if you have Sikh bodyguards.
But the bottom line is that the Hindu nationalist movement is a mess. It mostly exists as a reaction to obnoxious Muslims, but it prefers to pick on the harmless Christians. Its leaders live in a fantasyland of their own making.
Hideously satanic, for sure.
