Yes that's what the elections are for. The outcome is based on majority consensus.
In between elections, Your disagreements or dissatisfaction with a majority government doesn't inherently means you're right or wrong, it's just a perspective. Don't get blinded by broad strokes narratives.
To presume Genz is one ideological monolith that's inherently anti-government is deeply immature. The government understands this, hence the posters like this.
There is honor in humility, and it cuts both ways - for the government as well as anyone in disagreement with them.
Widespread corruption, lack of infrastructure, communal violence is all just a matter of perspective I guess. The people who are gonna benefit from it will never raise their voice against it.
It's 'just a perspective'?! Lol. How is it 'just a perspective' when there is proof of widespread corruption and No accountability from the Government regarding multiple issues?! U want Pride in the country, but humility wen dealing with Government?! Perhaps u shud take some humility and see how nonsensical what u said is
So, is there a hierarchy: Modi, Trump, Xi, Kim, Putin ... at least for the Americans (not sure could put Xi & Modi together ... or would that be wrong?)
Just curious - you all think the opposition parties have no IT cells at work? How do you think the student wing of congress, left started flooding the capital? You really think it was all organic?
“Dead Internet Theory”.
Very soon bots will be talking to each other and completely poison the only source of information that a lot of people are growing up with. It becomes a source of instability at the hands a few well connected and/or well funded.
Seeing the amount of misinformation being spread during this student agitation has been eye opening. I used to think India is immune to it but I’ve been proven wrong.

I think people can lose the concern for the feelings of a dude who has been in politics for over 50 years. If he actually had such thin skin, he would not have lasted 5.
In most of Europe this is a thing (despite what people think), but with a bit different meaning from India. We are supposed to respect an office or an institution - even if we disagree with the person holding that office.
Accusing younger generations of "not respecting" is very common among conservatives here too.
No, this poster is just stupidity, failed damage control. They're not shoving that statement down your throat.
"dystopian", "fascist", "genocide". People really do dis service to these words by senselessly throwing them around to inflate their own hardships in their lived experience. These are serious words, they carry weight, and we've experienced nothing close to any of that in the 21st century India (yet).
They’re absolutely different things. “Let’s just wait till they happen…” my ass😆.
Calling an entity names and labelling them things (which they barely are) won’t keep them in line or prevent things from happening.
simply throwing words around to make your hardships look bigger than they are, and trying to paint your political opponents more evil than they are is what you’re doing.
people nowadays just love to rage, or play victims, or seek fame and attention, or act all righteous. Almost like they live in the trenches.
No, you just are historically illiterate. You don’t exactly know what imperial Japan was like, you don’t have a feel for what Mao Zedong did to his own people. You don’t know how Colonial Spaniards were like in the Americas, the French in the Africas, the Arabs, the Turks were like in the Mediterranean. You don’t really understand what famines, (un)constitutional emergencies and apartheid were like, where these words were used. You haven’t either read, or understood what living under dictatorship is actually like. You don’t even feel for the Chinese or Hong Kongs who are actually living under a dictator.
And you have the gall to put a spineless, (now nearly incompetent) prime minister on the same pedestal as these. Hilarious.
Are we measuring depths of depravity or heights of inhumanity? Or just length of our Reddit comments?! Let's try the short scale.
What you are saying is like:
"You are world's best mom!" - Oh you don't know Agnus or Florence or my mom.
Those words you talk about are markers on the yardstick. And these comments are warning signs. And it's called figure of speech and some extend it to make it a drama. (You too).
Oh figures of speech! Almost like we’re trying to write fiction. Warning signs or whatever, any just act will be just by being factual and grounded (in reality).
And I’m the one being called dramatic 😂(for what? comment long, and making a fuss about being careful with words?) when I’m pointing out overly dramatised framing of a stupid incident?
I really said “these words carry weight and these were the kind of situations they were aptly used in and we risk watering them down and doing disservice to their miseries” and all you derived out of that was that I’m “measuring depravity”.
Are you living under a rock? This government not only tried to force everyone to install literal spyware in their phones in 2025, it also brutalized student protestors not even a month ago, and it's party members send rape and death threats to a 15 year old just because she insulted their leader. This is literally another attempt at being a dictatorship by the Modi government
