Thank goodness! BJP is India’s equivalent of MAGA. They have been for over 50 years. Their history reads like a Nazi propoganda handbook.

You’re not gonna believe this.
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh[c] (RSS; lit. ‘National Volunteer Union’ or ‘National Volunteer Corps’) is an Indian right-wing Hindutva volunteer paramilitary organisation. It is the progenitor and leader of a large body of Hindutva organisations called the Sangh Parivar (Hindi for “Sangh family”), which has developed a presence in all facets of Indian society and includes the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the ruling political party under Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India.
The RSS was explicitly inspired by European fascism and its leading politicians consistently praised Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini throughout the 1930s and 1940s.
Yup. My uncle (RIP) used to boast to me me about his part in RS&S as a youth. He genuinely believed that he was part of a youth movement for the good of India. I chatted to him about the German Nazi systems which he said were very bad, but they were Nazi’s… He never ever agreed that it was the same. Fair to say I just referred to it as his Nazi youth training, for which my father was not happy. In my families home village, it is very prominent beleif, almost to level of worship. It must stop
