He would probably have attacked the jews who have lived safely in India for centuaries. No pogroms, victimization or danger. He would have probably destroyed one of the oldest synagogues in the world in Kochi in the state of Kerala. It is still standing today, even though a lot of the people who worshiped there have safely migrated to Israel.

He would however have had to defeat the outstanding jewish officers in the Indian armed forces to do all this.

And subsequently lost the Hindu support which got him voted in the first place. You must remember, in India, the text-books on history of the 1940-1950 period lay far greater emphasis on India's independence movement than on world history. Most Indians have no clue what the Holocaust was, or what it did to the Jews. But all the same, the Jewish community in India has successfully sought refuge in Hindu India, over 500 years ago. Most Jews in India have left for Israel. And almost all of them still maintain their ties to India, visiting India frequently, to see old friends, and family who refused to leave India when Israel was created.
