A simple queston. Do you think we are on the same path (religious extremism) Pak took in early 70s ? ...and how does india differ from the Pak case, if it differs ?
Thanks in advance.
No we are not on the same path. Supreme court of India will always be a strong independent institution, as is the EC...and neither does the military have political power in India. The very fact that there is massive criticism against Modi and the criticism is aired so freely (and only given reality check with election results which then creates more debate cycles) means by and large the nationalist current (which is often mistaken as purely religious) is of the people, by the people and for the people (and hence why support for the BJP extends across religious lines in so many areas).
People on the ground want development results (denied to them in any relevant timeframe for majority of India's independence)...that requires different response depending on the individual state and better running and reform of the federal bureaucracy. So far only BJP has been able to really project itself in that mantle and has proven results in roads, railways and power notably. With GST (logistics boost) and demonetisation (formalisation boost) the results will be broadened...and will pick up with banking reform and consolidation to deal with the NPA/liquidity problem (the lasting legacy of the UPA corruption and gross mishandling)....so that much better job growth can be achieved (as opposed to the informal sector based job creation that Mr. Godrej recently talked about).
If any party can do better, let them prove it rather than clinging to "hindutva shattering" articles.
You are asking the question to a guy who does not live in India.
Yah and of course I never visit India, especially the rural areas... never interact with people who live in India or keep abreast of the situation and their hopes, worries and concerns...and I definitely have not invested one dollar back into India....nor one second of time. You obviously know so much about me. Good job.
Conversely, anyone that lives in India automatically knows everything about each fundamental issue....because there is no such thing as urbanite lutyen-like shells anywhere.
What about Idea of India? What about the thinning harem of "intellectuals" in power corridors? What about emasculated Dhimmis who acted like mascot of secularism?
Too long conversation to discuss here (and would achieve little in convincing anyone not already convinced). I prefer to fact check with the numbers and results...on economy related issues.
