Let me Give you an Insight. The problem with using Modi example is, he is hyper nationalistic with controversial background as Gujarat Massacre. He is only playing with sentiments of people. And It is no surprise that most of his followers are hardcore Nationalists and goons who are enjoying complete immunity
See my take is that Modi is like any other politician in the world. As good or as bad as any of them.
Regarding Gujarat massacre, he was surely not responsible for directly killing anyone. The main charges on him were that he could have prevented the massacre but he delayed the state response.
Some people still believe he's guilty, some people believe he's not. There's no way to know for the common man. There was definitely some political motivation in the cases against him also. In the end the supreme court cleared him. Our judiciary has a lot of institutional respect, so I guess that was good enough for the majority of Indians.
He has a lot of plus points, like being a very good orator, virtually zero personal assets, good motivator, good administrative skills. Frankly apart from Modi, I don't see anyone else who can step up and challenge him for a leadership position of the country.
Right now, Kashmir and Pakistan are being used to divert attention from his failure of some of his promises on the economic front. But he's a showman, and very good at optics. India is the world's third largest economy, and Indians are hungry for recognition as a world player. Right now he's responsible for the feel good factor for a lot of Indians.
Dunno about the Gujarat carnage, but remember Pakistani politicians praising him a lot when he was elected, basically the contrast his austerity provided with your pm.
Regarding goons finding immunity, that's the same for every political party in every country. For me he's the same as every other politician, whose primary concern is always the vote bank.
There might be some similarities between people in Pakistan and north India but there is a very stark difference between people of Pakistan and south as well as east India. I can always able to differentiate between an Indian and Pakistani anywhere in the world.
Hollywood is not really representative of Indian facial features because they typically take fair skinned, coloured eyes and tall people as lead Actors (psychological remnants of the British raj)
Tell me one player in your cricket team, who looks so distinctly Pakistani that he can't be mistaken for Indian.
