mildly true. However, as compared to Trump ? jeez not even the leader of India's right wing quasi-religious party could ever say "ban muslims" in India. I have a feeling that we are going to see a lot more of these articles... the liberal media in the US is trying to make sense of what just happened. And the closest available model is the Indian democracy.

> jeez not even the leader of India's right wing quasi-religious party could ever say "ban muslims" in India. Modi was held directly held responsible for 2002 anti-Muslim pogrom, though he was later cleared of all wrongdoing( politicians almost never get convicted of any crime in India, they are noble class that hovers over the democracy but never directly participates in it.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Gujarat_riots https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Gujarat_riots
