Shit, how long you got? I'm smart, successful in my chosen career, have travelled the world, look back on quite a bit of activism, my kids are great, my wife loves and supports me, my friends are loyal, I have an attractive and well-dimensioned cock and a good personality...man, thanks for asking that question, because when I take inventory like that, it reminds me my life is pretty damn awesome. Fuck, man, I love being me.

Oh, almost forgot! You know what I'm really proud of? That I'm too smart to be taken in by a nationalist demagogue like Modi. I leave that to ignorant peasants and professional shit-eaters. I'd hate to be one of those types of people.

If you read my whole comment and still want to term a religious riot (one of many thousands in India) a muslim specific genocide I don't think you possess the nuance to reach an agreement with me.

I think Modi should be out and the BJP should be whittled down to only infrastructure interested politicians, because that's the basis on which I vote. However even I know enough about 2002 to know calling it only a Muslim genocide is problematic and dishonest. Have a good day

It's not focusing on semantics, he and his corrupt friends used that in political campaigns to portray him as a poor tea seller, which he is not. He is a criminal.

I don't care about Gandhis either they are just as bad, they did Sikh Genocide and Modi did muslim genocide.

You are too focused on the semantics. I don't care whether he sold tea or camel piss quite frankly, the point is he doesn't come from the same dynastic background as the Gandhis. They don't even go by "Nehru-Gandhi" to capitalize on the Gandhi name.

Yes, you are not wrong at all. But in a democracy the members of state are the ones elected. A good and functioning democracy has all the features you speak of. India is not a good democracy, but for now it still is a democracy since the members representing the population on the governmental front are elected by the people.

The judiciary was never elected by the people nor is the media. Them being elected is what you would expect in a functioning democracy, but unfortunately that is not what defines the word.
