Browsing through comments on youtube videos about India right now is crazy. Full of Islamophobic, racist rhetoric almost indistinguishable from white nationalist ones (example CW: Islamophobia).

I get that BJP is responsible for appealing to hindu nationalist sentiment and making it worse, but what are the material reasons that caused a former br*tish colony to become like this?

    I mean, India has actual Marxist guerilla movements like the Naxalites. And arent some of the biggest agricultural protests in India? Those guys are just protesting the BJP government… just cuz? Idk shit about India but like aint there more to the story like in most countries where fascism is dominant?
