Trump is tame compared to Indian prime minister Narendra Modi
- andrew-lucker 10y agoYeah, but not if Trump gets rid of our cash too and replaces it with higher denominations with his face all over it.
- khrm 10y agoWell, demonetisation isn't as big issue as action against Human rights organizations like Amnesty International or Environmental groups like Greenpeace. Trump isn't going to ban them or choke their funding directly. Also Steve Bannon is tame in comparison to Yogi Adityanath, the newly appointed CM of UP (a state with 204.2 million population). This Adityanath guy: 1. Said that he will put hindu idols in every mosque. 2. Said that Shah Rukh Khan(one of the greatest Bollywood) actor is a terrorist(Hafiz Sayed). 3. Distributed arms for rioting. 4. Has a person on his organization stage who said they should rape dead Muslim women in graves. 5. Said those who don't want to do yoga should leave India and should drown. 6. Will kill 10(100 in another) muslim for 1 hindu(killing anyone is wrong). 7. His organization (Hindu Yuva Vahini) engages in nonviolence during valentine. This guy has been chargesheeted but no action. What I have noticed is that during Bush time, Cheney was boundary of fringe for right in US. Now in Trump's time, Bannon is the boundary of fringe. Similarly in India during vajpayee time, Advani was the boundary and Modi was fringe. Now during Modi's time, Yogi is becoming boundary. And mark my word, next boundary will be more direct oppression and removal of minority identity.
