India is being ruled by a Hindu Taliban
By Anish Kapoor; The Guardian - International Edition
"The Hindu god Vishnu has several incarnations, many of them human. The latest of these appears to be Narendra Modi. All over India there are images of the man, right arm raised in the benevolent gesture of good fortune. But this strong-but-enlightened-man image hides the frightening and shrill reality of an increasingly Modi-led Hindu dominance of India". "The country’s openness to social and religious minorities (more than 500 million people) and regional differences is at serious risk. Of late, Modi’s regime has effectively tolerated – if not encouraged – a saffron-clad army of Hindu activists who monitor and violently discipline those suspected of eating beef, disobeying caste rules or betraying the “Hindu nation".

Selective reporting through a prism of pseudo-secularism does not make it authentic

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep"
