Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This is the same as someone asking "How is the US fascist?", and answering that with the wiki link to fascism.
Yes India has a right wing government. But if India is fascist so is America, Italy, Poland (new regime), the Netherlands (under Wilders), etc. Believe it or not, right wing governments can be a normal era in a democracy. The BJP is not making comments to annex other nations, tightening the rule of law, passing discriminatory policies, or abolishing elections or term limits. There is no democratic backsliding that has occurred in India because of the last 2 BJP terms, and Modi is going to step down after this term. After Modi, the BJP has no better candidate and the lefts/centrists will be back in power due to incumbency bias.
And all of this is normal in a democracy with multiple parties who can offer real choices to the people.
Including the US in that list of supposedly not fascist countries really doesn't help your case considering that they were more fascist than the Nazis themselves
They are. They literally can't stop engaging in colonialist atrocities.
