India is no longer a democracy. It's an emo-cracy. People vote with their emotions. Narendra modi manicures his public image perfectly to suit the Indian voter who wants a god-man, a Bollywood hero, a strong man. They ignore the reality that India under Modi's leadership has become intolerant, hateful, divisive, and aggressive. The phrase 'guest is god' is forgotten. If you dare to criticise BJP policies, a visitor is told 'chalo Pakistan'... go to Pakistan if you don't like it here!!! His voters ignore the fact that over 200 people actually died as a result of his crippling demonitisation in late 2016, a massive publicity stunt by Modi to win votes for the upcoming UP election. They ignore that ensuring security of the country's citizens is the number one job of a Prime Minister. Human rights practices and treatment of women have both gone backwards under Modi's government. Foreign tourism has dropped dramatically, though fake figures show an increase, and income for the middle and lower-middle classes is stagnant. There are no jobs being created, and the future doesn't look that good. I've been travelling in India for 25 years and can see what is happening from an outside perspective.
