I didn't make up or coin the term. It is derived from an extremely influential book here in the West. Liberal Fascism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Left-wing fascism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The attempt to stifle dissent, promote censorship, automatically labelling whoever...

P. V. Narasimha Rao made it quite clear what happens with dissent that is based on ideology instead of politics. He was against Congress being run by foreigners and unqualified individuals with favourable last names, and by being a true liberal and being against dynastic politics he was left to...

To be fair this is true of all fascist movements. Whether they be libero-facists or conservative ones. Dissent is perfectly fine, but here in India we run into a situation where it is more about dissent for the sake of political gain rather than actual differences in ideology. This movement to...

After thinking about the election and results for some time and analysing the situation more, here are my final conclusions: In short, BJP lost because they cannot separate National politics with Local politcs. BJP lost not to Nitish, not to Congress or secularism or intolerance or whatever...

Is there anything stopping them from doing so?

Those 2/3rds hate each other and won't work together. Having a common politic opponent during elections isn't enough to create good governence. Nitish is going to have a hard time reigning in Lalu. Bihar is going to suffer.

He was elected to stop rampant corruption and anti-development policies at the centre. He is currently scoring strongly in both categories. I don't think even his opposition can deny this. Local leaders will continue to remain strong in their local constituencies, as people are not yet ready to...

But he was guilty though.... correct? It doesn't matter as long as there is no real leader to challenge him. Modi can get stumped by local strongarm leaders who have been in power for decades, but on the national stage there is absolutely no one. Rahul doesn't stand a chance, and Congress...

Bring Reforms to parliament = stupidity for wanting to develop the nation Don't bring Reforms to parliament = No reforms, BJP not serious about development, etc. They brought it out to show who was in support of development and who was more serious about playing politics and stalling nation's...

How did he avoid his jail sentence in the first place?

That is exactly what they are doing though. Reforms can happen immediately but effects won't seen for years. Road building has increased to 23.4km/day, coal mining is up, electricity production is up, manufacturing is up, etc. As for the land issue, BJP has relegated those reforms to the states...

How? You can't pass the big reforms without Rajya Sabha majority. Congress has enough seats to sit there and try and destroy the country and prevent any reforms just so that they will have a stronger plank for 2019. They did it before during the days of Vajpayee, and they have no quams about...

I mostly agree with what you said, but Bihar has shown the opposite. People want recognizable local figures, the masses don't care if they are corrupt as has been shown by the rise of Lalu Prasad after decades of corruption and looting. What they need to do is start playing much more dirty.

It honestly looks like everybody lost but Lalu Prasad. Nitish isn't going to really have control as CM, and there will be weekly riots in state parliament. I am not exactly sure why Biharis want another Jungle Raj, but I suppose that is up to them. BJP needs to reign in any idiotic comments...

How is this even possible. What sort of buffoons are running Indian media?

Direct gas routes from the Arab Peninsula and Iran are the future for India. I don't see any sort of these land routes really taking off. The pipeline crosses too many unstable regions in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The GCC has no interest in really trying to destroy ISIS, the terror group that they helped invent and fund. They want the fancy toys to counter Israel.

If Kerala falls or even shows any sort of cracks, then it is pretty much over for the sickulars. They will have to restrategize and come up with a much rightward leaning position that isn't anti-national, anti-hindu. Otherwise, BJP and RSS will create a unified Hindu front that will simply be...

This is the holy grail really. They have that in America, and we are seeing an explosion of companies that actually offer to set-up solar roof panels in your home FOR FREE, and then they take the profit generated from excess power that is fed back into the grid, while you get to save a lot of...

Voters made their opinions quite clear in 2014 elections. Congress is a scrounge they want removed. People want the Gujarat model implemented and the end to Congress rule. BJP still needs to clean house and implement more reforms, but by the end of 5 years of centre rule I have no doubts they...
