  Thanks, so as I understand it, India's economy under the Indian National Congress was schlerotic and the Indian voter turned to the BJP in order to deliver the same sort of economic growth Modi oversaw in Gujarat. And if that that democracy would be endangered and Indian Muslims were going to be persecuted, that was a sacrifice they were willing to make. That's one hell of a devil's bargain.
  As someone on the ground, what are your thoughts concerning the sacrifices made and the economic gains received in return? From the outside, it looks like India is poised to take off economically thanks to cheap Russian oil, capturing the manufacturing getting out of China, and India's own demographic dividend, but it seems like many of that is happening in spite of Modi's policies, not because of them.
context: Streisand effect.
  Didn’t care about this documentary at all, now I’m definitely going to watch it. >
  
  I've been trying to watch it, but can't find it. The only link I found was for the BBC's own site and they don't let you watch outside the UK
  any alternate links would be appreciated, wanna see this too
  Edit: Got it. Stop being overly original with the VPN suggestion. >
  
  Dailymotion!?!? Now there's a blast from the past!! >
  
  It's excellent for piracy largely because people seem to forget it exists. I've watched a lot of documentaries there I couldn't find anywhere else. >
  
  I just watched sasuke 2022 yesterday, because holy shit are they strict with uploads anywhere else on the entire internet. >
  
  I thought this was a Naruto reference but I just discovered something great. Thank you. >
  
  Tx man, was considering moving to the UK >
  
  Gonna move to Gujarat instead? >
  
  I hope OP isn't Muslim, then. >

  Authoritarians and their love for banning everything >

  he got immunity now coz he is prime Minister... >
  
  So you are saying its ok for the taliban to enter USA now? >
  
  when did I say that? I just
  told why he is able to travel to US
  it's not on me to decide who gets to or doesn't get to enter US. heck I'm not even a US citizen. >
  
  I mean technically the taliban is now govt official of afghan. Just trying to point out on the absurdities of geopolitics >
  
  Not one country recognizes the Taliban as the Afghan government so they aren't extended any official government designation or the rigths that come with that. Not even Pakistan and the UAE which recognised their previous incarnation before the bin Laden attacks. >
  
  There's no point. There isn't a single person who blindly believe and follow the government will change their views after watching this documentary and will just call it a “western propaganda” and move on. Only people who will believe this are ones who already know most of it. So there's just no point to this. >
  
  Exactly, the very same thing happened here in Brazil. Far-right president Bolsonaro literally posting a video on his own channel saying he'd like to eat human flesh and didn't lose a single vote for that. His supporters would just say it was "out of context" >
  
  There’s nothing the far-right and autocratic governments fear more than free flow of information and proper education for the masses. >
  
  Bad information and bad education? Let 'er rip! >
  
  Because they can't face the truth. >
  
  That was the long plan all along. Starting with the cowardly murder of Mahatma Gandhi by their religious fanatic predecessors. >
  
  Did Indians really believe the RSS and BJP had changed, or did they just hate Muslims so much they were willing to sacrifice democracy in exchange? >
  
  They just wanted change from the then current regime which was already grown /seen as corrupt from years and years of rule 
  There was also a feeling of stagnation and apathy to politics in most of the population (from anecdotal evidence) which the Modi campaign strongly addressed by making new bold promises based on some economic gains in his State. 
  So Imo, it wasn't the social factors that initially had them voted in but the economic/commerce ones. 
  Even today that is a major part of their campaigns. 
  So basically sacrificing some social/democratic freedoms for economic prosperity. A similar deal to ones made by Singapore and China in the past.
