Rather, what Modi’s government has fostered is a form of subjective intolerance, with supporters, emboldened by the BJP’s absolute majority, imposing their particular view of what India should be, regardless of whom it hurts. The state of Maharashtra’s recent beef ban – which threatens the livelihoods of a million Muslim butchers and truckers – would not have been imposed by any previous state government or supported by any previous administration in New Delhi.
相反，莫迪政府制造了一种主观不容忍的形式，拜印度人民党绝对多数地位所赐，其支持者将自己关于印度应该是什么样的观念强加给其他人，丝毫不顾这可能带来伤害。马哈拉斯特拉邦最近的牛肉禁令——这一禁令将威胁到一百万穆斯林肉贩和卡车司机的生计——在此前任何邦政府中都不会实行，也不会得到此前的新德里政府的支持。
