Modi's economic policy is neoliberal at best. Saying he's only "slightly to Bernie's right" is fucking hilarious considering he's doing the exact opposite of Bernie on healthcare in India. He's literally trying to reverse government-run healthcare, massively slashing public programmes, and is bringing back private insurance and healthcare providers, something that any 1st world country aside from the US would laugh at. From everything I've read about him, he seems Trumpian in the fact that he scapegoats Muslims in the same way Trump does with Mexicans. His party basically came to prominence when they tore down a mosque in the 90s, and Modi himself has worked to remove 11,000 nonprofits from India that were linked to other religions outside of Hinduism, this includes Islam, Christianity, etc. Modi does some good things policy-wise, but overall his role in India seems problematic especially with this new development in Pakistan that essentially makes the region a powder keg.
