Under Hitler Germany went from economic stagnation and depression to building the forerunner of modern rockets in the V2.
You might want to reconsider your thought process.
Did you seriously just compare India to Nazi Germany? LOL what?
I think you people need some kind of medication. Wanting India to remain a poor country just so you can feel superior to them is really deranged
Also, go read a book sometime. Hitler didn't bring Germany out from economic depression. Germany was already heading that way before the Nazi Party took over and obliterated Europe for decades
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.
RSS - The Parent organization of BJP, is inspired by Hitler. Golwalkar's (founder of RSS) book 'A Bunch of Thoughts' literally praises Hitler and calls for genocide of Muslims. Every now and then BJP ministers call for violence against Muslims and abuses Gandhi.
As for the 'India is developing, not poor anymore' comment, look at Oxfam report on Wealth Inequality in India. 1% own 40% of the total and bottom 50% only has 3% of the total wealth.
What Modi is doing is eating the poor and feeding his two owners Adani and Ambani.
