He is nationalist leader if he was a fundamentalist then he must have done things representative of that in his 5 yrs in power. Like make India a Hindu nation

He is nationalist leader if he was a fundamentalist then he must have done things representative of that in his 5 yrs in power. Like make India a Hindu nation He is as accused as Obama is accused of killing thousands of Iraqis. again if he doesn't believe in democracy, there must not have been elections in India after 2014, which is patently false. So try again with why western media hates him and always paints democratic India in a negative light even in conflicts against dictators.

I am Indian. I am not aware of Obama policies but I am sure Obama wasn't directly responsible for any genocide in which Americans were murdered. Modi is accused of genocide which 100s were brutally murdered in his own state where he was chief minister. Now if he is falsely accused is another matter but those accusations are grave and definitely have some basis. Thousands of minorities are harassed on daily basis. Hundreds of intellectuals are threatened on daily basis. Some have even been murdered. I am on mobile but if you are really interested you can find thousands of stories of heinous deeds committed by his followers which are representative of his fundamentalism. He is anti-democracy but that doesn't mean he can stop the process of election as per his wishes. It is just that he can't do much in that regard, given the democratic/power structure. Indira Gandhi was also autocratic in nature but she couldn't do much to harm the basic constitutional structure. Western media hates Trump as well and it accuses Trump of undermining democracy and being racist. Whether western media is correct about Trump is subjective issue but you really can't treat those accusations as simple 'either -or' issues. Truth must be somewhere in between.

  Modi was falsely accused as is evident in Supreme court acquiting the frivolus argument and his election to PM of the largest democracy in the world. so it is a red herring to keep bringing it up. I am a minority NRI and can state clearly that no harassment as you state happens. None of my kith and kin have reported any such incidents on the ground. Unless you can state proof for the anti-democracy claim, it is clearly baseless. With proof you have him praising Putin and Xi and wondering if that is possible in USA. Nothing even remotely similar for Modi, so what gives?

I thought I'd have to compile a list, but HT did it for me. I don't consider their journalism of high quality, but even they can compile a list of rationalists, intellectuals, journalists and others who have been murdered.
