How did India seemingly become so right-wing? (hexbear.net)

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 have my theories but because I'm not Indian anything I say could be construted to be chauvinist, paternal, not minding my own damned buisness to let these people liberate in their own time reguardless of how much it fucks them or the world over.

Just entertaining a question of such might be insenstive to their Asianess and could be seen as disrespectful. Only an Indian could have an opinion or even consern or solidarity so I've been told.

Name 5 Indian states

If you can't do this, you don't have the right to have an opinion about India. Because it's like me not knowing what "Germany" is
