He has said that Islam had ‘many good aspects’ but, ‘when one community says that my community is different from yours, it is higher than yours, and that until you take refuge in mine you cannot get Moksha [salvation], you cannot get Allah, you cannot get Jesus – then conflict starts’. Hinduism taught "truth is one in different ways", and there would be no conflict if it was accepted that ‘all religions are the same’.
"Protesting students?- Anti-nationalist". Yeah except the student was protesting against the hanging of a cruel terrorist. "Appeal to social frustration" - makes no sense. India is special in this case in no way. "Craves heroic death" - We do make a big deal when someone dies doing a heroic action. This is fascism?
The whole article is just pointless rant. I think Modi is one of the most smart and active Prime Ministers that India has had and I'm in no way a supporter of BJP (his political party)
He's being sarcastic towards those who make fun of the new Macbooks.
This is how progress is done.
And the author does not 'expose' anything that is threatening to any 'communities' in India. He's just calling the citizens of India fascists in his high-on-vocabulary rant. He is also twisting and distorting Eco's points to suit what India is now.
I wasn't addressing the author's claims of a fascist India, I was merely pointing out how he falsely pictured Modi (who, in my opinion, is a great leader, atleast relative to the previous 5).
