The Hindu nationalist policies of Modi and the BJP government are widely seen to have reshaped the political and cultural landscape of the country over the past decade, shifting it away from the secularism enshrined in the constitution – which guarantees equality for all religions – and towards Hindu majoritarian rule.

Modi’s BJP already commands a strong parliamentary majority after it swept the 2019 election, winning 303 seats, with votes for its coalition partners taking the total to 352. This time, the party is so confident of victory that it is aiming for the BJP-led alliance to win more than 400 seats in the 543-seat parliament.

Just to lend some perspective:

1. - India has 4 times the population of the USA living in 1/3 the land area

2. - India has a population greater than 1.3 billion versus an estimated 330 million in the USA

3. - The USA encompasses 3.787 million square miles versus 1.269 square miles for India

4. - India has a population density of more than 1,200 people per square mile
(about the same as the state of New Jersey, the most dense in the USA)

5. - The USA has a population density of about 94 people per square mile

6.- The USA has one city (New York City) with a population of 8 million or more

7 India has 8 cities with a population of 8 million or more.

8. - India's 10 largest cities:

  • New Delhi - 34 Million
  • Mumbai - 22 Million
  • Kolkata - 16 Million
  • Bengaluru - 14 Million
  • Chennai - 12 Million
  • Hyderabad - 11 Million
  • Ahmadabad - 9 Million

“ Hindu nationalist policies of Modi”

What are you ? Some leftist..using the language of the Left ? Or maybe you are a Muslim. What’s wrong with “Hindu Nationalism” ? India is a Hindu majority country. Hinduism is their dominant religion (>85 %). The country was founded on Hinduism. For centuries they fought off Islamic invaders who plundered, pillaged, annexed and raped Hindu women. Following independence and their split from what’s now Pakistan they were further subject to decades of Islamic terrorism. Not to mention the illegal invasion of millions of Muslims from neighboring Bangladesh. Finally they have a gutsy leader standing up for the Hindu majority and the worldwide globalist leftist media dubs him “Hindu Nationalist”. If you have a problem with Modi’s “Hindu Nationalism “ take your complaints to DU.

Actually the original copies of the Constitution of India was freely illustrated with images depicting the Ramayana. The words "secular,socialist" were illegally added by Indira gandhi when she illegally declared an Emergency,suspended the Constitution and arrested all the Opposition leaders she could, driving the rest underground. So the vote on the Constitutional amendments are illegal and void. But no political party has the guts so far to challenge it in the Supreme Court.

The MSM feeds the rubbish that Muslims are under some kind of threat.Come to India and see the reality. Yes many of their illegal activities have been curbed and the mafia dons arrested/killed. But they are/were criminals.The MSM lionises them.
