I am not sure how you think have made a case that Mr. Modi's rise is bad for democracy. And please stop spouting lies that muslims are being lynched under his government. Get off your intellectual high horse and go meet common people on the streets in India. Talk to the cab driver who drives you, talk to the maid who works in your house or the person who cleans your toilets for you, instead of talking to your fellow pseudo intellectuals and you will see the impact of giving every Indian an identity and a bank account, the benefits of electronically transferring aid directly to them instead of employing corrupt middle men. And stop saying Modi is bad for democracy. That is like saying a star player is bad for hockey because others aren't able to catch up with him. This type of pseudo intellectual nonsense may pass among the high society in India but not here. If anyone is bad for democracy its that Nehru family (yes, they are not the Gandhi family)
