It seems like I'm hearing more and more about Hindus getting outraged over things that don't directly affect them.

I really worry about India. It's a great country, and lately I'm seeing what look like familiar patterns of religious and nationalist fervor.

Modi’s BJP is equivalent to Trump’s MAGA. Just as dangerous and just as damaging.

Funny how they never pull films and specials when there is left wing outrage because a piece of media spreads prejudice and discrimination. E.g. Gervais and Chapelle.
