It is with growing horror that we see India openly enter fascist territory. the territory of war and might is right territory.
A hatred of Pluralism and inclusiveness.
The Indian parliament was misused by the majority BJP hindu supremacist party to pass a bill that strikes down the special status in the Indian constitution for the states of Jammu and Kashmir.
MP for Kerala and a member of the Congress Party Shashi remarks on this issue and on the human rights abuses that are taking place:
Lockdown, zero internet, imprisonment among other things.

Excerpts from article:
Empire. Majority. New constitution. Sovereign ruler. The vocabulary of demagoguery never changes."
Towards the end of the movie, as Obi Wan and his erstwhile student, Anakin, battle it out with light sabers on the lava-filled planet of Mustafar, Anakin tells Obi Wan, “If you’re not with me, you’re my enemy.”
To which Obi Wan replies, “Only a Sith Lord deals in absolutes.”
and
Joseph Goebbels, the Reich minister of propaganda in Nazi Germany, once said:
“This will always remain one of the best jokes of democracy, that it gave its deadly enemies the means by which it was destroyed.”
"More and more, we are seeing members of the ruling party showing absolutely no compunctions in using word and phrases that are dangerously close to the ones used by Emperor Palpatine – a “sovereign ruler chosen for life”, “an empire ruled by the majority”, and being “ruled by a new constitution.”
