> the current ruling party is straight up unironically fascist and descends from the same political party that inspired the german nationalist socialist party.
This is false. There is no link between the German Nazi party and BJP. If you are talking about RSS, the link comes from a quote in a book published in 1939 (well before the world found about the holocaust) by the RSS founder [0]. Admiration for Hitler and his Nazi party in the 30s wasn't unique to the RSS founder [1][2].
Golwalkar was also supportive of allies in their war against Nazis and supported the formation of Israel.
Also Golwalkar is 100% pro-nazi, he only went against them later for gains.
"German Race pride has now become the topic of the day. To keep up the purity of the race and its culture, Germany shocked the world by her purging the country of the Semitic races -- the Jews. Race pride at its highest has been manifested here. Germany has also shown how well-nigh impossible it is for races and cultures, having differences going to the root, to be assimilated into one united whole, a good lesson for us in Hindusthan to learn and profit by." (Golwalkar, MS, “We Or Our Nationhood Defined”, Nagpur, 1939, p. 45)
Ironically fearmongering that there's an imminent genocide is one of the justifications used by the the Government for internet shutdowns and censorship. Law and order is precarious in most parts of the country and anybody can spark an unrest by sparking rumors and it spreads like forest fire causing riots and loss of life.
Last I checked India was home for second largest Muslim population, and population has only been growing, more than other sections of societies in India.
Sure things aren’t same for Muslims post 2014 and people should raise their voice. However for every Muslim atrocity, there is one against Hindus or any other religion. Should we take comfort in that? Absolutely no, but this genocide nonsense is utter rubbish.
It looks like you've been using HN primarily for political/national/religious/ideological battle. That's not allowed here, regardless of what you're battling for or against.
> In hindsight Nazism is an almost cartoon like singular epitome
Not that singular, even in its time, which is why we usually call the more general thing that it is an example of by the name of its Italian contemporary and ally.
lol what? There have been plenty of Hindutva terror incidents, one as recent as the day before yesterday, when 3 men killed a couple of undertrials in front of live camera and then went on to scream the terror warcry of "Jai Sree Ram".
> If this is “fascism” as you say, majority of the Indians are happy living under it.
Do you have a sense of irony? Majority is always happy under fascism. It is the minority who matters in that case.
