Exactly. Any politician that knows how to trigger the masses by creating hate and resentment towards others is able to come into power. People love being made to feel as if they are more deserving and better than other groups. Gentiles in Germany LOVED the Jew bashing and sense of superiority that Hitler gave them in the name of nationalism. Trump voters love that he spreads hate against minorities and immigrants. It makes the mainstream white people really happy no matter how much destruction he causes in all other areas. Modi is no different. No matter what a failure you may be in all aspects of life, Modi makes you feel good that at least you are a superior Hindu.
Populists know how to incite mobs and create fervor. Take a look at how much support Nazi rallies had and how much the German population loved them. They had created so much nastiness in people's hearts that neighbors who had lived their whole lives together had started snitching on each other.
People need to start reading history once in a while instead of useless propaganda and Whatsapp forwards.
I wish people would take more pride in the country's diversity and the contribution of every citizen to the society irrespective of caste and religion. I hope something happens, anything and Modi never comes to power again! The British did the same thing, atleast they didn't believe in ethnic cleansing.
People just love to hate. It makes them feel better about themselves and vent their frustration.
Look at how people are enjoying the chaos and the hate they celebrities are getting.
From Alia Bhatt to Sushant Rajput. Nobody is spared.
