    No, I used another example of a leader who did both good things and horrible things as an illustration of how you don’t get to use the good stuff to erase the horrible stuff, thereby exposing the flaw in your apologetic reasoning.

    Modi is a demagogue that’s stoked the worst aspects of Hindu nationalism and encouraged racism and violence in the name of power. Any socioeconomic gains under his rule don’t erase those facts.

    That you attempt to use the tactic of equating criticism of Modi and the BJP with criticism of India, the country, as a method of stoking nationalistic anger toward those opposed to their rule only further illustrates how Modi and his supporters have, charitably, fascist tendencies.
