As an Indian, this issue is far more complex than you make it out to be. I never voted for BJP but yeah, they are not fascists, but the potential is there. RSS is basically like the military wing of BJP, more accurately, BJP is the political wing of RSS.
We Indians have seen oppression under the left and the right, so we don't usually use these labels so loosely.
If the goal is economic transformation, socialism works.
Socialism is like the ex we thought was too pretty but turned out not to be that pretty :(
Tried that, didn't work all that good. Although it kinda had it's advantages. I like what we have in India better
There's a reason Deng Xiaoping wrote what he did on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics: the Soviet model of socialism wasn't as effective as it needed to be for developing countries.
The RSS was created based on fascism and its leaders were huge fans of Hitler & Mussolini.
