> the current ruling party is straight up unironically fascist and descends from the same political party that inspired the german nationalist socialist party.

This is false. There is no link between the German Nazi party and BJP. If you are talking about RSS, the link comes from a quote in a book published in 1939 (well before the world found about the holocaust) by the RSS founder [0]. Admiration for Hitler and his Nazi party in the 30s wasn't unique to the RSS founder [1][2].

Golwalkar was also supportive of allies in their war against Nazis and supported the formation of Israel.
