[FairAndUnbiased]

India is sliding into fascism as we watch.

Nothing new..

If you look at social media posts - it's easy to discern who are on their payrolls.

But the well known ones are not the risk.

Its the ones who have been working under the radar.

India is sliding into fascism as we watch.

Please explain.

How does this book or its revelations about Chinese assets embedded within Indian intelligentsia prompt such an inference?

Cheers, Doc

Umberto Eco’s List of the 14 Common Features of Fascism

Creative Commons image by Rob Bogaerts, via the National Archives in Holland One of the key questions facing both journalists and loyal oppositions these days is how do we stay honest as euphemisms and trivializations take over the discourse?

Element of fascism #7: The obsession with a plot.

Other elements of fascism which apply:

1. The cult of tradition.
2. The rejection of modernism.
4. Disagreement is treason.
5. Fear of difference.
8. The enemy is both strong and weak. (particularly China and Pakistan)
9. Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy.
11. Everybody is educated to become a hero. (see narratives on Galwan incident of heroic soldiers fighting when outnumbered and unarmed, which were then proven false by video documentation showing them attacking unarmed negotiators)
14. Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak.

Elements of fascism which BJP meets:

3. The cult of action for action’s sake
6. Appeal to social frustration.
10. Contempt for the weak.
12. Machismo and weaponry.
13. Selective populism.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

So you believe this is a "plot"?

This book is about the RAW. India's intelligence wing.

It does not get more authentic that that. In the world of spooks.

For all we know they could've released this fake news to stir up racism against Chinese - yet another characteristic of fascism.

If Indian narrative about Galwan was proven wrong - as shown on video - and their claimed "heroes" were actually cowards and backstabbers, what does that say about the credibility of India as a whole?

Let it rest. I have a batch full of Colonels, many of whom I call my friends and sit and have a drink with when in town.

Let it rest.
