Modi is not anti Hindu like others. He is a nationalist who puts country first, but I don’t see any hint of Hindu nationalism in him. Economically, I would argue Modi is to the left of Bernie Sanders.

While he has won 2 elections politically (and thank Gods for that), he has not yet tried to influence institutions. Most of them still hate him and and many are communists bastions.

After his second political victory, the left has decided to maintain a street veto that is popularized through international media.

The tactic he has had is to simply wait and watch. it’s worked for him in the past. We had Year long street protests, riots broke out when president Trump visited, separatist sympathizers even attacked the Red fort on Republic day and thrashed police officers. He stayed on mute.

Ultimately, the realization is that even if you are successful with having an individual, without institutions supporting that individual, their policy, legacy can be reduced to mere ink on paper.

The left understands that innately. It knows and talks of power through culture, institutions and changing the narrative of history to suit themselves.
