Read all your replies. I can only conclude that have no understanding of Hindus, Sikhs or even India. Forget understanding Modi. That is not your cup of tea. I see a lot of comments on HN mindlessly bash Modi based on the ridiculous, perverted view presented by Western Media. That is what is driving your conclusions. Indians know better as to what exactly is happening in India and why we voted Modi. The West will never understand either the political landscape of India or the dynamics of demographic politics. For starters, majority of the "oppression" BS in India (be it on religious, caste or gender lines) is manufactured by all parties (representing all strata of society) to garner sympathy and votes from gullible voters. The actual reality is quite the opposite. You cannot have a prosperous economy, in a Democratic setup, with continuous oppression. Just because few riots happened in some parts of the Country, does not mean the Government is authoritarian. Do not forget that India is a country of 1.4 Billion People. It would be ridiculous to generalize the Nation, its Elected Government or the People based on extreme issues (which are bound to happen considering how vast the Country is and how huge the population is).Either ways, as sibling comments have rightfully noted, you are unable to grasp the true psyche of India and Indians. For you to truly understand India, you will have to stop referring to Western publications of India (which are so out of touch with ground reality it is hilarious) and move to India and live her for at least a decade. You will reach the same conclusions as Indians then.
