Academia has become a pyramid scheme tbh.

A lot of it has to do with the idea of “karma” fed to the masses through Hinduism. So poverty, being born in a low caste is the result of one’s previous birth’s karmas. And capitalism ensures perpetual penury.

In 1999, during the Kargil conflict, Israel met India’s need of precision bombs. Many in the Congress & almost everyone in the BJP were enthused by being on the same side as Israel post 9/11.

Yes, it started to change after the adoption of neoliberal reforms. Before that RAW & Mossad had regular contact since the 70’s. In fact, Golda Meir helped India get access to war supplies in 71. Long story short - Defence, trade, agriculture etc. before 2014 & complete support post 2014.

Every American President is a close friend of Modi until he is in power.

Not just “Indian fascists”, the Indian state as a whole has been fostering ties with Israel for a while now, irrespective of who’s in power. The Indian National Congress & the BJP are two sides of the same coin.

Masses only “endanger” democracy when they don’t vote for the Democratic Party. Apparently, masses must prove their democratic credentials by starving to death or due to lack of Medicare & supporting every war the Democrats foster in name of democracy.

It has to do with their leadership. All of them controlled by feudal elites. And the failure of the left to emerge as a vanguard.
