Browsing through comments on youtube videos about India right now is crazy. Full of Islamophobic, racist rhetoric almost indistinguishable from white nationalist ones (example CW: Islamophobia).

I get that BJP is responsible for appealing to hindu nationalist sentiment and making it worse, but what are the material reasons that caused a former br*tish colony to become like this?

    just as the communists in the imperial core tend to be white.

    Isnt this because most people in the imperial core are white? Like im pretty sure non-whites would be disproportionately overrepresented
