Bhakths are devotees of Modi. "Bhakth" in Hindi/Sanskrit means devotee. They are like the die hard Trump fans in the US. They usually come in hordes and attack any content against Modi on the web usually by unethical tactics like questioning your character/love for country, down-voting, mass reporting, abusing and general trolling - whatever it takes to shut the critics up. Modi is part human and part mythical figure for the Bhakths - I kid you not :).

  He is so obviously agenda driven and is abusing a lot of people with his use of derogatory remarks. He got away with it because, not many people here have the full context of his abuse. I will leave you with this TED talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story https://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_adichie_the_danger_of_a... Never build your worldview with what is provided by a hate-filled single sided opinion.

  Lets not forget why this man was denied visa to US in 2005. "In 2005, Modi, an ardent Hindu nationalist and rising political star, was denied a U.S. visa over accusations that he failed to stop religious pogroms in which hundreds were killed, mostly Muslims, in the Indian state where he was serving as chief executive. That decision to bar him now seems like ancient history in both countries.

    For the sake of historical accuracy, he was a 'persona non grata' not just in the US but also in some 27 EU member countries and in several other countries around the world: http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-modi-still-a-persona-non-grata-in-eu-says-german-diplomat-1331057 http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-modi-still-a-persona-no...

This. And to add a bit, it is a little-kept secret that many/most are paid workers, hired to carry out those activities.
