Re: 2019 Strategic and Political Analysis-1

Aren't these people the first casualties in any 'direct action day' ? I don't quite see how if these very people live in a house and have toilets will save them during 'direct action day'. Please guys "direct action day" is a symptom and not the real driver. Direct action was a culmination...

Re: 2019 Strategic and Political Analysis-1

Hindu was originally a racial / ethnic term that became mainstream.

So terms like Hindu nationalist party have racist overtones. It tries to instill a racist religious branding to the BJP in the western press

Does PM Modi have the beginnings of a new narrative, that can be an aspirational target for all Indians?
